Are you looking for a flashy big horse with an uphill build and gorgeous floaty movement ? Then your strategy should be to scoop up Strategyforyou! This handsome fellow is a “morning glory”, a horse that has promising morning work-outs that somehow doesn’t translate to race wins. His trainer says that he just “doesn’t want to be a racehorse”. He didn’t arrive at the track until last year, and since he has yet to win in 15 starts, and horses older than six who are still maidens cannot run at Finger Lakes, he is now looking for a new job. We think that job could be in any sport horse discipline but he seems especially suited to eventing given his build, movement, and love of long gallops. His current connections have had him for two years and said that he’s always been sound. We liked his big, solid bone, balanced build, and strong hindquarters- he has the compact balance that makes us think of event horses. This boy has performed better at Presque Isle on the synthetic turf than at the dirt at Finger Lakes and his trainer (who rides all his horses) says that he likes to gallop forever and can get stronger the further he goes, so he is probably best for an experienced OTTB owner. We were told that he’s good to work with on the ground and doesn’t have any vices. We were told that at the track he can be tense, but he’s always sensible; at the farm, he’s a different horse, “super chill,” and loves his turnout. What we observed is that although he came out looking a little tense, he settled nicely, gradually relaxing more and more during our visit. During his jog video, we loved his springy, airy, floaty movement; he looks like a very athletic boy. We think that this gorgeous boy says future superstar event prospect to us! He’s very well bred- by Midshipman and out of a Distorted Humor mare.
