G1 Cryin' Out Loud x Blood of The Angel
Happy got his barn name through the laughter of a few jokes, a sarcastic suggestion towards his race-name. But 'Happy' is more fitting to his name than one may believe, for his talent is awe-strikingly impressive, and he certainly manages to make his trainers smile! Unpredictable and equally as temperamental, if you aren't careful with this stallion you're going to get burned. Choose your approaches wisely, as his mood swings can be as fast as his legs! Capable of being kind, Happy is very talented at fooling people into trust; however the extremities of his personality are matched by none, and and he can be equally as nasty. This colt is quite dominant to other horses, especially other colts, and can be very show-offish around them. In the parade ring, it is not uncommon for his head to be held high with his ears slicked across his skull. Oddly, however, he will behave very well in hand around them - almost as if he feels that good ground manners make him superior. Very little scares this colt, and he could well be described as fearless, and he is most certainly competitive. However, he dislikes affection and will become very stand-offish if smothered.

Barn Name: Happy or 'Tears' Age: Four (Y10) Breed: Thoroughbred Colour: Chestnut Markings: Blaze Height: 15.3 hh Gender: Stallion Race Record: 25-14-6-5 Y14 Workout/Training Posts: See Over for Earlier< Happy will gate relatively well, although there are occasional issues with him fighting entering the contraption, he always remains calm once the shutters are closed behind him. Tranquil, he will wait for the gates to open without much fuss, as if he is gathering his focus. Once the gates do open, he breaks quite slowly and will settle in at the back of the group. Sometimes on the track, Happy can become quite headstrong and will try to move up the field too early, which can be troublesome given the fact that he is not too easy to handle. However, it is possible for a more experienced jockey to hold him back until they decide that it is time to make a move. In the stretch, Tears of Blood is a true power-house. Being quite a bulky and muscular colt he has a long stride and a great deal of speed at his disposal. He will close heavily, usually going wide of the pack and a good jockey will use the competition he passes to fuel his competitive nature. Racing Results: Grade One (G1) TWO YEAR OLD SEASON
