Ben is not a lovable horse, he's one to put up a fight and hand you shakin in your boots.
#1581 Bay Stallion Y10 Born 16.2 Hands High Registered Thoroughbred "GRADE ONE" |
PersonalityBen is a very hard headed colt like his sire before him he doesn't have much of a social hand towards humans except for his handlers. He likes to show who's boss and with fiery passion doesn't let anyone touch him without permission from himself. He is very cautious around others and it takes time to get him from the stables. Ben is a bit calm when their is just one human with him but, that's about it. While on the track, Ben shows all his attitude facing the other competitors. With his stamina and speed he may start from behind but, Ben surely knows how to hold his own while running over others in the end. His attitude may sometimes get him into trouble. He likes to try to be the lead colt in the paddock and he does seem to be a bit of a nudger. Where unlike his sire before him this colt doesn't like to show his talent at first falling behind the pack where to close to the end this Admiral's Revenge son will set free and once he is off it is hard to catch him. Ben has only trusted one human of the Nature Spring Acre staff and that is Chris Stevens. It is a unique situation but, the colt seems to work better with that one human.

StyleBen breaks from the gate easily but, with much speed on him the colt likes to come from behind. He will stay at least a head behind the last horse of the race. The colt is very sneaky and no one will know that he is there until coming the last length of the race. Where this colt is dual surfaced he is a quiet runner. When coming up to the final turn of the track, GS Super Charged switches gears and with much effort the colt finds an opening and he is off into the sunset not giving up on the other competitors. When coming along the last stretch Ben then turns loose gaining much more speed he comes from the outside and will end up in the very front fighting for first place.
