*He Izz Incredible*
Horse: Quizzical
Exercise Rider: Chloe Paisley
Following a 3rd place finish in the December Maiden Dirt, Izzy was ready to start his 3 year old season. He was known for his stretch runs. He always tries to make an impact. Chloe wanted to break him of his Maiden status. She wanted to get him to Grade 1 by the end of the year. Lucy had said that if he did make it to Grade 1, he would be retired to stud for Year 15. Chloe was determined to make the little dark bay colt a champion.
Chloe went out to the paddock Izzy shared with Houdini and Cracker. The three boys got along wonderfully. Izzy was grazing peacefully. His head shot up as soon as he heard the gate open. He greeted Chloe with a gentle nicker. She patted his neck and lead him back to the barn. Lucy was there to put him on crossties. They both groomed him and got him tacked for the dirt track.
Chloe was mounted as she rode him out of the barn and to the oval. Izzy started prancing, which is what he did when he was getting excited. Lucy followed close behind them, carrying a clipboard. She stayed at the rail as Chloe rode out onto the oval. The dirt was dry and flicked freely as they trotted. Izzy breathed softly with every stride. He kept his head bowed and his stride long.
Chloe would be taking him 7 furlongs. It would be a quick work, one she would be happy about. She loved having the opportunity to be Izz's rider. She was talented and knew the talent hidden within him. They got up to a steady canter. Izzy was ready. He got all bunched up beneath her. He was ready to let it all out.
Soon they were off in a fast and brisk run. Izzy stretched out a little. He had started slow, but Chloe knew that's how he was. They rounded the turn and he started increasing his speed. The stretch came quickly and that's when his true colors came out. He was a powerhouse thundering down the track. Lucy was there with her stopwatch. She clicked it when they flew past.
Chloe could tell by the smile on Lucy's face when she brought Izzy back up to her that the work was a good one. "He always seems to be a pleaser. He has the speed. He just needs a good race his next time" Lucy said. With that, Chloe dismounted and they went back to the barns.
