Description EDIT 2011: OMFG SOOOO MUUUCH BETTERRR

ACUTE'S BABY IS ACUTE'S STUDLY NOW. <3

I wanted him to look sort of like a longer-legged Smart Strike. The man himself was my reference in body, neck and head. Of course you realize that this means he could conceivably have babies that look like Curlin. Whatchu think?

Name: Percuss
Barn name: Perks
Gender: Stallion
Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: 15.3hh
Color: Chestnut
Genotype: ee Aa
Markings: LH coronet; star and spot
Temperament: Kindly and gentle, but by no means a pushover, Perks is the type to strike out only when he is provoked. He manages to be an alpha personality without overt aggression.
Discipline: Racing
Preferred distance: 8-10f
Running style: Stalker/midpack
Bloodlines: Acute x Strike That Match
For stud/lease: Available - note me

2yo: 3-3-0-0
3yo: 7-4-1-1
4yo: 6-5-0-0
Lifetime: 16-12-1-1

Major stakes wins: GIII Iroquois Stakes, GIII Risen Star Stakes, GII Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, GII Louisiana Derby, GII Peter Pan Stakes, GI Haskell Invitational, GI Jockey Club Gold Cup, GI Donn Handicap, GI Dubai World Cup, GI Woodward Stakes, GI Breeders' Cup Classic

GI: 6
GII: 3
GIII: 2

Despite his almost universal reputation as a late-maturing sophomore and older star runner, Percuss was actually very precocious, winning all three of his starts as a juvenile as well as his first four starts as a three-year-old, and was only defeated for the first time by Classic winners City Singer and Sugartomyheart in the GI Travers Stakes.

Percuss hails from the royal bloodlines of Thalion and Smart Strike through Acute and Strike That Match, star runners in their own right, and every indication is that he will shine at stud as well.

I will always have a soft spot for this horse. More than any of your others I think because he was our first collab. And any horse who can take down Tseng deserves worship.

This is beautiful... but I'm partial to chestnuts AND he is the brother to James Bond... may have to get a breeding once I find a mare

Yes he is! James Bond is still on my studs-to-use list... I just need to find an excuse.

lol, I know how that is. I have a long one and they just keep getting added to it. Too bad all my mares are related to all the studs I want to use. I guess I'll have to create some extras.

I mean.... how could I not! He's gorgeous, and gorgeous and looks like Curlin, and have I mentioned that he's GORGEOUS?

I actually used Smart Strike and quite a bit of English Channel as my references.

Percuss? Well, percussion, besides being a type of musical instrument (drums), is the act of suddenly hitting something.

oooh ok. *facepalm*

I'm thinking of...Maglor for the colt? Since he's a Silmarillion character, AND a musician...or maybe I'll name him Feanor and have done with it. :-D

*FLAIL!* It's a good thing I've already got a breeding with him. It eases the "MUST HAVE" symptoms XD. The list of stallions to be bred to Morwen is entirely too long...so I really SHOULD refrain myself...
