Personality:
When Arlecat was born, he wasn't exactly the best looking of the crop. He had tiny eyes and a leggy frame that made him look like every bit of a Duroc pig. A year later, the foal has since grown into a striking individual with a deep red coat with no white markings whatsoever.
He's always been an even-tempered animal doing whatever was asked of him without complaint. Arle is the kind of horse that if you asked him to jump, he'd simply ask how high and then reach for the stars and beyond. He puts all of his trust within his handlers and especially with his jockey.
Whenever he is led out to training or the paddocks in the morning he makes sure to nuzzle his handler and breathe gently into their face. A remarkable animal with heightened intelligence makes him the cream of the crop, so to speak.

Racing Info:
Surface Preference: Turf
Distance: 5-8 Furlongs Grade: Two Trainer: Aaron Evertt Jockey: Andrew Martin Leg Type: Strong Closer Arlecat's racing style is very similar to that of his older half-brother's - Speedy Tomcat. He jerks his head up once he's in the starting gate, eager to get the show on the road. Once the gates open he gives a show of rushing the other horses closest to him, making them think he's trying to get ahead of them. This usually makes the rival jockeys adjust their mounts and ask for more speed in order to avoid Arlecat getting the best of them. But then the red colt will settle back down and survey the pack from the back, taking everything in stride. His jockey will whispers words of encouragement every now and again and pat the horse's neck to keep his head in the game because Arlecat wants nothing more than to rush the entire field and charge for the lead position from the get-go. When the time is right and when there's an opening, Arlecat's jockey will direct the colt gradually to the outside and after the horse settles back into a good groove, they make their move. Arlecat moves from the outside with an explosive burst of speed and finally gets that lead position he's had his eye on since he left the starting gate. A competitive mindset helps the horse challenge the current leader as he fights for the right to charge over the wire firs |
