[ not that kind of thing ]
"If there is one thing about this colt that you need to know is that, unlike his sire, he loves to run. He gets this desire to run from his dam and it really is great to watch this colt. All he does in the pastures is run, run, run and when he gets on the track it's clear he will be running because he enjoys it, not because he is being made, which certainly has to be a good thing for his chances. The only problem is that it means we sometimes have to bring him in from the pastures in order to prevent him from injuring himself. Perry is a nightmare to handle. If you're a human, then you are his number one enemy. He bites and kicks and does anything he can in order to show them who is boss. Certainly this boy knows his size and strength and is not afraid to use it. Due to this, we only allow the most experienced handlers to deal with Perry as we do not wish for anyone to be seriously injured. Furthermore, it appears the colt is more difficult with males. This has been put down to testosterone and seeing other males as competition. The few times he has been on the track have shown a true marvel. It is almost as if he is in his own world. Only him and the others on the turf exist, nothing else matters. He wants nothing more than to win, and he has to be at the front from the very start to use his great power. From there it is all just fun for him. He hates to not get his own way, and he is only happy when he wins, but is slowly learning that this is not how the world works." We were concerned when we acquired Perry from SOPS that we would not have a jockey that would match his temperament. Because he obviously has problem behaviors, we were inclined to put Roger with him but realized that despite Roger's quiet riding, having a man jockey is not what Perry wants. So our brave 20 year old, Kayla, stepped up to the plate. She is light and fit and Perry seems to take to her just fine. So what that Kayla sometimes has moments where she sees her life flash before her eyes, she is a brave girl and is willing to do whatever she can to help Perry win and bring CCI more publicity. We will only be racing Perry until the end of his 5 year old season and then we may do some breeding. Or gelding... Depends how he behaves!
