Personality
Cobalt has a sweet nature, but he's very outgoing. He does what he wishes, and is very good at getting his way. Cobalt usually never listens, and we are training him hard to be more obedient. As soon as you get him on the track and earn his respect, he'll show obedience and respect to you in return. You must be firm with him if you have his respect, though, or he'll take advantage and run away with his swift legs. He shows little loyalty to you. To get his loyalty, you must show faith and devotion to him. Eventually, with your bond strong, he'll listen to you and finally win. Cobalt's style involves sitting behind the other horses and moving with them. It's only at the end that he shows he doesn't just follow the pack. Right at the end he'll explode and sweep up the track. He's been blocked before, though, so we're working on his strategy, perfecting it, before releasing him in races once more. Unlike Stride of Perfection Stable's normal kind of stock, Cobalt hates the turf but loves the dirt. His distances are irregular as well, running seven to twelve furlongs. This poor guy had a lackluster two year old season when we bought him, but we took him in and trained him, and now he is starting to emerge as a confident, speedy, well trained colt. Unfortunately, because of the huge size of the Y8 2yo crop, Amber had decided to retire Cobalt from the racing scene. The colt will take the rest of the year off before entering stud duty next year and then joining the eventing world.
