SMS Sleepy Hollow

this is my latest addition to the ranch, he was won in an auction by ~SunnyBlueDay.

Name: SMS Sleepy Hollow
Barn Name: Sleepy
Barn: Sunset Mountain Stables
Age: 1.5 yrs
Gender: Colt
Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: should top out to be 16.2 hh
Discipline: halter, more to come with age and training
Color: mealy bay
Markings: irregular blaze, two cornets, two socks
Health: Healthy
Sire/Dam: Sire, Dam
Offspring: none yet
Personality: A very sweet boy, you'd hardly believe he was a stallion. He finds comfort in familiar faces, so changing his jockey too often will upset him as will changing trainers. He tends to be a lonely guy, so a stable buddy would be good for keeping his spirits up.
His sire, Sure Win, had an impressive Kentucky Derby win and Preakness, but fell short in the Belmont. Sure Win's offspring are unproven on the track, as his only other offspring is still in training. As far as Reckless Intensity, his dam, she did not have an overly impressive career until her surprising win in the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic. Her only other offpsring so far is Deceptive Intensity, who has raced remarkably well so far in her career.
Sleepy Hollow runs best on turf, as he likes to be able to get a real grip, he usually does well on dirt when it is dry but runs horribly on a wet dirt track. Synthetic is in the middle for him. He likes to run midpack and his endurance is more impressive then his speed, his ideal distance being over a mile.
Overall, he's a sweet and capable colt, but his nerves and need for routine are his downfalls.
Breedable?: yes, once he is old enough
