Personality: Tate is a typical Thoroughbred stallion with a short lived attention span. He’s extremely mouthy which is evident when viewing any of his lead shanks, all gnawed and chewed; anything new doesn’t stay new for long if it’s being used on Tate. Being her first foal, Tate most definitely takes after his dam, Terror Smile in most aspects. He has borderline ADHD and is always on the move. He can’t stand still and is always causing a racket in the barn if he feels he is not getting enough attention. His stall his decorated with chains and jolly balls in an attempt to keep his busy mind at bay but that is not always effective. While he is a bit more mature than when he was younger, even from birth it was always Tate's mission to bother his dam every second he could - and we thought Terror Smile was a handful. He likes to always be doing something, which is why working and racing is the only thing that keeps him sane. On the track, Tate is almost a completely different animal as he is finally able to channel all of his pent up energy and throw it totally into his workouts and race ethic. Having always been the tall, gawky and lean colt he has definitely blossomed into a muscular young stallion, proving to be a late bloomer just like his dam.
RACE INFORMATION
Grade 1
Distance: 8-12 furlongs Turf [Great] Dirt [Okay] Race Results: 51 | 14-11-9 75% HOTY POINT(S) | 2 Running Style: Pace-Presser On race day, Tate's mind is all over the place. While he has definitely grown with more experience and matured with age, he still tends to get pretty excited in the paddock, usually being the first to cause a commotion in the saddling area. However, as soon as he steps on the track, an internal switch is flipped and he is instantly all business. Tate is generally slow to break and breaks alongside the closers before slowing moving his way up towards the front of the pack, where he challenges the front runners. He enjoys being on a time crunch and has definitely involved into quite the pace presser. Most of his energy is reserved due to his slow break and steady moving pace throughout the entirety of the race. He likes to make a scene and he really shines once they hit the final turn and he begins to make his move. As soon as he hits the straightway, Tate catapults forward into a rush to fly past the front runners and charge towards the wire in a dramatic surge of speed. |
