Personality
The Tank as he is nicknamed is a big challenge for everyone in Witch Creek. His personality is not necessarily bad, it just isn't necessarily good. He's a big friendly goof ball to the people he wants to love him. He loves kids and is very gentle with Ripley's son Keller. That is perhaps the best thing about this combination. He is the perfect horse in the barn and in the pasture, never picking fights with others, but not necessarily being the dominant horse in the herd. He loves to be groomed and will bear hug his people with his neck so that they can't move and have to love him. He is one of the most striking individual, with tall black stockings and muscle on top of muscle. The trouble comes in when he's being handled on the track.
When fresh, Bold Trick is an absolute monster to handle. He'll buck and squeal, press hard on the bit and fight every inch of the way if his rider fights back. Therefore, there has to be some give and take with the son of Red Herring. The colt needs a soft hand and a person who will ask rather than tell. Tank is intelligent as they come and picks up on ideas in a snap. He tends to loaf in his workouts and constantly goes through workmates because he simply gets bored. He has to wear blinkers or he'll drift across the track because he is watching something on the other side of the rail. He does his best running mid-pack and lopes along while everyone else seems to be running. The colt does his best following another mid-pack horse when they make their sweeping bid, living by example. With a couple taps, the colt will go right on by and then the rider has to absolutely sit still. The Tank simply hates being babysat. He doesn't win by wide margins, but the ease with which he moves is impressive and inspiring. A smoother, more athletic individual has never graced the track.
