GS SUPER CHARGED Ridden by Chris Stevens Handled by Angela Renzo Being trained by Mason Connelly
FTH Juvenile Turf Workout
Chris was chosen by Angela to ride Ben the Admiral Revenge colt. He was pleased to ride this beautiful colt. Placing a saddle on his back the colt at first put up an excellent fight until Angela came into the picture who since at the Auction gained a little of the colts trust. "Relax Chris he will trust you in good time...It's okay Ben, Chris here is a very trustful jockey of ours he will let you run." She said patting the bay colt gently pulling his head close to her as she then rubbed behind his ears. She then took a step back after Chris jumped up onto his back.
"I still can't believe you managed to get this one Grand-Sired by War Admiral, Sired by Admiral's Revenge a Triple Crown winner...Angie has anyone told you that your crazy?" Chris said holding onto the reins guiding the colt out of the stables and close to the track. Angela had a little help with getting the colt and if only she could pay back Amber Black even if she didn't want it. It didn't take long until they were heading towards the track to see how he would do. Ben ran 9-12 Furlongs and was dual surfaced he could race on any track which was pretty amazing.
Mason, the head Trainer at Bowen Acres decided to tag along since he was assigned the new trainer for the colt. "Sorry I'm late was shocked with the news I heard..Now Chris make sure you let him do his normal routine and when he reaches that last stretch guide him to gain more speed but, don't push him let him figure out what he needs to do." He said giving the jockey a little bit more advice. Ben was a little agitated of course, whinnying the humans walking around him to back off swinging his head side to side while walking. The colt had a monstrous attitude but, he was set to bond with Chris and the others who would handle him.
Chris only nodded while the others stopped when the colt entered the track area. GS Super Charged was entering in the FTH Juvenile Turf sometime this week and they wanted him to be ready to face other big racers. Ben was a Grade 5 colt and Bowen Acres wanted him to be Grade 1 and they would help guide him there. Chris brought the colt to the starting gate and the colt was ready to show off what he could do. And the colt was off remaining in the back as he was a Closer. The colt came from excellent breeding and this upcoming race he was up against another great horse. They wanted him to be ready for this stakes race.
He was already around the first turn of the track breezing greatly pulling ahead just slightly. Chris laughed with how the colt ran it was beautiful. Coming along the back stretch Ben then would hold back on his own still with great speed and stamina the colt had not yet been tired. Angela and Mason watched from aside holding their timers marking what needed to be marked. He gained more speed and with his stamina his breathing remained steady as the colt came to the last turn Chris asked for more and Ben took off with incredible amount of speed doing what he did best and with other horses on the track he passed them with no problem and gained more speed coming upon the last stretch to the finish line.
Angela and Mason could only clap their hands after stopping their times when he hit the finish. Chris had brought the sweaty thoroughbred to to the side where the Handler and Trainer stood and looked down upon them. "I think he will do massively well. It's just a bother that he comes from behind but, he does stalk the others along the way." Chris said then slid off the colt taking off the saddle handing it to Mason while walking Ben to go give him a bath. He didn't want to go at first but, with many efforts the colt finally walked forward.
After his bath Angela then took him back to the stables to rest for the race. "Ah Ben gives us time I promise you will love us soon." She said then brushed the colt and then closed then took him back to the stables so he could re-cooperate and eat his food all to himself. Angela was proud to have the colt in the stables and she was sure the Owner was too.
