16hh 16yo Bay Thoroughbred Stallion
Dirt: Okay Turf: Great Distance: 8-12 Furlongs
He's an aggressive horse. When Amber got him it was a demon to race him, but he won many races and outclassed the rest of the two year olds. When he injured himself in a steeplechase and Amber was told he'd be knocked out of racing for the rest of the season and would never be able to jump high, she put him to pasture and cared for him weekly. It's been like that for a year, and now Classy's leg is healed and he can jump small obstacles. Unfortunately, caring for her other stock kept Amber away, and Classy trusted no one and attacked on first sight. But then Amber's new employee came, an exercise rider and wanna-be-jockey named Krystal Yhate. She accidentally met Classy one day, and she fell in love with Classy. Upon hearing of Amber's plans to sell the two year olds Krystal begged for her to keep him, and against her better judgment Amber agreed. Now Krystal is working hard with Classy, and she hopes to make a champion out of the neglected horse. Now Classy is a good willed horse, calm and obedient, always listening to others and politely curious. He dislikes strangers, and is no sweet cookie really with anybody except Krystal .The change is remarkable, and it's all because of Krystal Yhate. When Classy runs he tends to close from behind, and he always makes a very dramatic move. His closing kick is like fire hit with gasoline - it just flares up and takes charge completely. Classy has proven himself to be our upcoming champion turfer, and it's really exciting to see him run. He seems so lazy, hanging around at the back of the pack, and then suddenly he explodes at any given moment and runs hard, picking up horses and swerving in between others like a ballet dancer. He's beautiful to see run. He's proven his class over the years, winning the Breeder's Cup Mile at three against Sand Storm and Dare To Dream, and then winning the Breeder's Cup Turf at four against Simply A Flyer.
After another pretty good season, the decision has been made to retire Classy to stud. We hope that he'll sire foals just as amazing as he was.
