Personality: Taking after his sire, Coventry is a cheeky, trickster of a colt. He is forever getting himself into trouble and once got himself stuck in a deep mud bank that took two fire truck loads of manpower help to get him out. Miraculously he was totally unscathed, and looked as if he enjoyed the entire ordeal. An attention hog, Coven is constantly after someone to play with and needs constant stimulation and supervision. Seriousness isn't really in his nature. If he isn't chewing on his tongue, his ears are flopping around. Opening doors, untying ropes, flipping things over are all old-hat to him. In many respects he is a bit like a big dog rather than a horse. In any case, he is a joy to be around definitely can lightens whatever mood the barn is in at the moment, even if he does make far more than his share of messes. No one can really get angry at him, and he's definitely a barn favorite. His field has the most toys of any other, and everyone breathes a sigh of exhausted relief when he finally sprawls out in the grass for some sleep. We can't entirely prove it - but we swear he snores. This big guy is definitely a character and absolutely adores crowds; race days are his favorite days.
RACE INFORMATION
Grade 3
9-12 furlongs Turf [Great] Dirt [Great] (Surface Supreme Applied) Race Results: 19 | 7-5-5 | 85% HOTY POINTS | 2 Running Style: Mid-Pack Being a bit smaller than some other racehorses he doesn't break as fast, but happily joins in with the crowd. His jockey has his work cut out to make sure Coventry knows this isn't a game and has to put him in his place right out of the gate. After a couple furlongs the colt settles quite well into the competition. This guy is the king of squeezing through tight holes and getting out of seemingly impossible boxes, the more awkward a race is the more he'll shine. He is on the smaller side and doesn't mind getting in close quarters with other horses. In the last couple furlongs he'll sneak up on the leaders and kick into his second gear, whizzing by his competitors. WORKOUTS
