Flashy, intelligent and driven, Firecracker has been imprinted with that trademark Super Sparky charm. He is the spitting image of the foundation stallion and is a pleasure to work with on and off the track. With a mind that's always in overdrive this colt is built on near endless energy, something that is reflected in his running.
A juvenile with manners is hard to come by and many people often mistake him for a much older horse. He's something of a camera hog and will 'pose' whenever cameras are out because he adores the spotlight. Saddling him up isn't even a chore - even when the colt is particularly excited. Fillies and mares get him prancing about but any bad behaviour with this colt can be corrected within minutes verbally. He has to have something or someone to play with at all times including in his stall, out in the pasture and when travelling to different race tracks (give him a jolly ball and he's set for life). At times he may get a little too excited and nip out at his handlers but only to play with no true bad intentions behind his actions. With a weakness for peppermints and affection, Crackers is a lovable dork in the stable. On the track, though, he is a formidable opponent. He's spirited and mentally quick - two traits that push him to victory. A strong closer, Firecracker prefers to stay near the back of the pack before dashing forwards when he spots an opening towards the end. |
