His name does not reflect his personality, as Red is definitely a super chill loverboy of a horse. The name comes from the “Frank” in his sire Frank Conversation’s name — fans of true Buffalo chicken wings know that Frank’s Redhot Sauce is THE proper sauce for Buffalo wings! This in your pocket young horse just wanted to nuzzle us and soak up our affection. He is a true blank slate — he is unraced, does not have any timed workouts, has just trotted and galloped on the track, and has not been trained to the starting gate. He was started under saddle this past January, so he was allowed to grow and did not get pushed as a yearling or two year old. His owner reports that she has had difficulty finding exercise riders at the track who are experienced in riding young green horses, so she has not been able to get him in a regular race training program. So she figures why push him to become a racehorse, especially since he exhibits a pet personality rather than racehorse aptitude. She says that he is very friendly with people and with other horses, that he has been training barefoot and has very good feet, and that he is easy to work with and good in his stall. He stood quietly in the barn aisle, untied, while she groomed him for his photo session, and she said she usually grooms him untied in his stall. She reports that although he is young and very green, he is smart, and “once he gets it, he gets it.” She did note that he has only been on a trailer a couple of times, and that he needs more training in loading. Because of his youth and inexperience, Redhot Sauce will need a person experienced with starting young horses to get him going on the path to a new career. But his owner is confident that once he gets some training, he will be well suited to be a junior rider’s horse and beloved pet. She says he is very sound, but pointed out a cosmetic scar on his right hind leg that he got the first time he was loaded on a trailer when he was younger. He was very polite and quiet for his jog video and showed lovely huntery movement. We can see this guy excelling as a show hunter, but he can go in any direction you want to take him. Since he is only three he is likely to grow some more. His sire is by Quality Road, who has sired some very talented jumpers who are excelling in the show hunter ring and also in eventing. His dam is by Midas Eyes, who is by Touch Gold. Gone West, Deputy Minister, and AP Indy are other notable sires in his pedigree.
