"Mal"
Y16 Bay Thoroughbred Colt 15.1 HH Earnings: $198,000 Lifetime HoTY: 1 |
Mal is a sharp creature, with eyes as calculating and condescending as his father's. He is a special horse, and he is very well aware of it. A lord, looking over the sheep from afar. He's got a scary intelligence that he's well-willing to put to work, as long as you treat him the way he demands. You cannot simply strong-arm him, push him around, and hope for the best. He might do what you say, but he won't put his heart into it. Almost like he's punishing you for being too forward. If you work with him though, and train him in a way that doesn't make him sore or bored, he's perfectly happy to go out and do his job. He's horribly dominant in the field, so much so that fights can break out frequently and it's safest just to give him is own paddock. As long as he can see other horses, he's happy to sit and graze. Like his mother, he's a very clean horse, and dislikes even being outside on muddy days. He also gets pretty sour if he feels his stall is too dirty. His aversion to mud quite honestly means he doesn't do his best on a sloppy track, but if he's kept to the front so he doesn't get splashed in the face, he can manage just fine. He's not a friendly horse, and he'll never be your best friend - but given the right partner, he has unlimited potential.

Grade 4: 6-4-0-0
Surface/Distance: Dirt, 8-11 Furlongs Leg Type: Preceder Jockey: Corina Moore Mal likes to be close to the leaders, as he's too impatient to sit at the pack of the pack. He stalks his way along, right on their heels, waiting for the front runners to tire. Even if they don't, he never lets them get too far away from him. He's got a lot of power and a lot of stamina, so he's a dangerous horse to have on your heels.
