An Original
His PersonalityIt seems Nature Blue stables came across another biter like Gambler. Getting him from the same Sale from Dreamvalley Stables the staff learned that Gambler here is a bit cranky and high strung. He seems to have a pretty attitude on the track where in the stable he likes to kick. He can be quite the gentle horse everyone came to love but, that's only most of the time. Gambler is a very intelligent boy and while in our paddock has a knack to run as fast as he can just to get to the other side. He is very gentle with his handlers and when it's time for a race he can't wait to go on the track to show off his running skills. Gambler has developed into a brilliant outstanding colt.
He is not afraid to take chances and pushes himself to get up top. While he has bonded with stable mate GS Super Charged he has brought his confidence level to the top where he will fight to the max out on that track. He is a very friendly colt that enjoys being ridden by any human that rides him. Give Gambler a race and we guarantee he will give you a run for your money for being a full blooded sprinter. As now retired, Gambler has become hard headed and fierce something he will pass on to his progeny. |
His StyleGambler tends to stay in the back of the herd. He is a bit lazy at first but once he knows what he is doing he is off in a heartbeat. Reaching the back stretch the colt picks up speed and goes from there. He expands his stride and during his last furlong Gambler shows what he truly has and pushing himself as much as he can to get to the finish. He may start at the pack of the whole pack but, as a fierce sprinter Gamble on Peace will show you who the top horse is out on the tracks and boy does he mean business. Losing is not an option for this stallion, from where he starts from the back he shows his best at the final turn where he will run his competitor down and fight for what he wants.

His Progeny
Gamble on Peace is a well known sprinter to the tracks while he finished Grade Two throughout his career many seem to like his style. He is a feisty stallion with a huge knack to bite and nip at those of his reach and this is surely a trait that may pass to his offspring. Gambler holds best well for sprinters on the dirt surface, no milers or routers should be offered. He is OPEN to the Public with very limited openings. Medium build mares will do best with this stallion as well as mares who are kind in some form.
