These are the comments in an ad for sale for a TB yearling in equinenow.

"Additional Comments:
Very nice well put together VE bred yearling. He is an awesome guy the seems to want to do so much, i deal with thoroughbred race horses and i feel that this guy is just too nice to be put on the track. He has jumped free style in the feild about 3 feet and he wants to jump everything i ask him to on the line. He stands for the blacksmith and stands fairly well for everything else, he is farm raised so he's being trailer trained because he has no need to go off the farm, he's doing very well with that seems to like it very much. This big guy is just an awesome all arounf horse, i even get comments about him looking like a 2 year old instead of a yearling, he has outgrown most yearlings in the area!! "
The seller deals with TB and states the colt is too nice to send to the track!!!So nice horses should not be raced ? only the "not nice" or what????

I have an expression regarding a horse advertised like that - "RUN THE OTHER WAY."

i would bet that "free jumps" is code for "escape artist"
