More of a loner, Pup doesn't enjoy much attention. He prefers solo turnout, or a single gelding for companionship occasionally. He tends to listen in frequently, but keeps whatever secrets he happens to overhear. His ears are always flicking this way and that, he often raises his head to hear things that others aren't able to. He is quiet sensitive to sounds, and so we often add some fluff to his ears on race days when crowds are heavier. When he gets too stimulated by sounds he can become jittery and anxious, but we've found a facial massage tends to calm him down a lot, especially around his nose. Gallant Pup is sometimes a bit of a baby, he is finicky with what his water and tack smell like.
We suspect his sensitivity is what's kept him a bit on the down low these last few years of racing, so we're working hard to give him the extra confidence he needs to start standing out in the crowd - ears fluffed, of course. He has a nice long furlong range to work with, his body is small enough but sturdy enough to take on a solid mile or reach out to the ten and eleven furlong range quite easily. With such wiggle room to work with, it's easier to find places for him to run. Pup isn't thrilled with the post parade, but he's a gentleman during loading and breaking. He takes his cue from his jockey, if he gets a fast instruction to go right away, he knows it'll be a shorter race, so he pumps up right away.

Leg Type: Closer
If given a less enthusiastic push from the chute, he knows to keep him stamina, that the race will be longer. A closer, he likes to move up from the back of the pack. Being a solitary gent, he definitely wants to steer clear of any duelers or fights for the lead. He isn't too pick in a large field, if there are lot of closers he'll take more of a middle spot, but generally he likes to wait until the group has tired out before making his move. Being smaller he's able to squeeze into holes now and again, otherwise he streamlines from the outside and really stretches his legs as far as they can go to propel him towards that finish line. Once his race is done, he loves to lounge in a cool bath or go for a swim.
