Baciami

Horse Information
Registered Number: 1465
Nickname: Ami
Age: Two (Y12)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Bay
Height: 16.2 hands
Gender: Colt
Personality: Well, like father like son. Ami is headstrong, fierce, energetic, and has a deep hate for losing. He requires a firm and strong handler to put him in his place when it is needed. He only has respect for those who earn it, and if you let him push you over then that is what he will always do. He takes advantage if you let him. When something happens that Ami doesn't like or he doesn't get his own way he will let his anger loose and won’t go down without a fight. He can be aggressive at times, but usually this just comes out under saddle or in a racing environment. This is probably because of his competitive nature and hate for losing. He is fairly neutral when he is just in his stall and is nice enough to stand to be groomed or tacked up. Ami seems to enjoy being worked, and is pretty relaxed when ridden without the company of other horses. He gets to run all-out, and he knows it when the rider mounts. In company, as stated, he can get very competitive. All in all, if he is handled correctly and not allowed to be bossy, he can be a perfectly pleasant horse to work with, though you never forget he is very much a colt.

Racing Style: Ami is an aggressive racer, and will settle for nothing less than the front. If someone challenges, he will push right back, and it's up to the jockey to keep him from burning himself up in the front. If he is pressured, his best chance is that he gets enough distance in and has enough left in the tank to hold onto the lead until the wire. Wire-to-wire is very much his fashion, and he's quick out of the gate to help. If things go his way, he's let loose in the last two furlong of a race, turning back any who try to pass him up.
