[x][x] Best Sprinter for three years in a row (Y4,Y5,Y6) Inducted into the Hall Of Fame
THE BASiCS Registered Name: Flying Colours Nickname: Fly Age: Six years [Y1] Breed: Thoroughbred Colour & Markings: Dappled Grey [See Image] Height: 16.1hh Gender: Male Personality: Fly is as high strung and full of himself as any other thoroughbred stallion. He likes to show off his speed, especially on the track. That's what makes him such a good sprinter - he's got plenty of firepower. He's got a bit of a temper at the best of times, which sometimes helps him to do well in races. He's actually similiar to Rising Fury in this aspect of his personality. Fly also really hates to lose. When he does, you can be sure he'll win his next race, because he is the sort of horse that never gives up.
History: In Y3 we bought Fly as a tall, gangly, unraced two year old with the hope he would make a mile or classic distance cup winner. We allowed him six months growing time in the paddock with minimal work so he could fill out in all the right places. However, when the time came to really begin his training, we discovered he was still as mature as a yearling in his mind. It didn't mean he was slow - just silly. We nearly sold him on, but decided to give him a little more time because we had a feeling he was going to do well as a racehorse. When Fly turned three, we hired a new jockey by the name of Davo Perez. Davo took an immediate liking to the colt and offered to help us train him to race. Figuring it couldn't hurt - and because Davo had been born and raised on thoroughbred horse farm - we decided to give it go. Davo worked the colt up to fitness over the next six months, and when Fly was three and a half we finally found a race he was ready for. Fly went on to win it, and we were excited. We raced Fly a few more times that year, and were extremely happy with the results - he never placed out of the top three. When he turned four years old, we continued racing him. He won the Boys Festival, came second in the Star Festival and third in the Breeder's cup Sprint, as well as a few other races. His five year old season saw his first and second places out of the top three. It has so far been his most successful season yet, however, having won the Unicorn Horn Sprint, the Star Festival, and the Tick Tock Sprint, come second in five races (BI Randomized Meet #1, Boys Festival Y6, Butter Cup Sprint Y6 , Starshine Sprint, Superstar Sprint) and third in one. We are pointing him toward the Breeder's Cup Sprint with the hope we will win it this time around, and he may just be running a six year old season.
