The Rising

t h e b a s i c s
Registration Number: #1180
Registered Name: The Rising
Nickname: Ri
Age: Four years old (Y9)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Bay
Height: 17.0hh
Gender: Colt
Personality:

Ri is every bit like his dad. He is outgoing and always on his toes, but while he can be a sweetheart most of the time, he can also be a bit of a beast. He's not very easy to handle, as he likes to show off and challenge other colts - but when no one else is around, Ri is like a big teddy bear. On the track, he's often more concerned with beating whoever is in front of him than listening to his rider, which is sometimes a problem considering the position we run him in. The bigger problem however is what happens once he gets too far ahead of the others - he loses interest, and therefore would lose the race. Consequently, Ri runs behind the leaders until the final furlongs, when he is unleashed to run at his fastest.

Pedigree: The Natural x Warm Wishes
Pedigree Comments:

The Natural is a grade one HOF stallion who won the Breeder's Cup Mile and Turf. He has since sired some excellent offspring, including grade one turf filly Wildly Natural, and grade one dual filly Born To Soar. Both are high achievers. Warm Wishes is a grade one mare and dam of grade one stallion Beyond The Limits.

Race Record: 17-1-4-3
Surface: Dual
Distance: 9-12 Furlongs
Leg Type: Preceder
Racing Style:

Ri would like to be the race leader, but due to the fact that he loses interest soon after he gets in front, we run him behind the leaders. He often rockets out of the gate, and has to be held back to whoever is going to lead the race can take over. He gets a little frustrated at first, but soon just accepts it and gets on with the race. He makes his move late, or depending on where the rest of the field is around him.
