Personality
Talk about fiery! This colt is a difficult one to handle, he is flighty, jumpy and most of all aggressive. He will not hesitate to swing a kick at you or nip you if it means putting you into submission. You have to be strong with this boy. For a stallion though, could you expect anything less? His determination to do his best is what sparked Ripley's curiosity in the first place. It does manage to get in the way of training, but his trainer is more than ready to discover a great champion in her midst. Demon is pugnacious and more than often will even bite the starters at a gate just to prove that he is in charge. The dark bay is territorial as well. He's commonly found pacing in his stall and flattening his ears. In the paddocks he goes crazy if someone messes with the few stablemates he has even if they are in other pastures. His confident attitude and will to blaze down the stretch will hopefully be the key.
History and Pedigree Information
Touch Up is a proven sire on GHF. He was born and raised with Ripley Marsh, but when she disappeared we got the chance to take this "touchy" stallion home with us to Intrepid Racing.

Breeding Records
Stud Commentary: Touch Up never was a champion on the turf, but he was always among the best looking older stallions. Touch Up is something magnificent to look at. All his points are exactly where they are meant to be. He is burly and fiery and looks as though he could pass on his amazing conformation on to his offspring. Touch Up possesses a fiery spirit. Even though he was defeated countless times, he was on the lead at some point during every race he ran in. Touch Up will pass on that strength onto his colts and fillies as best he can.
Perfect Matches: He would be best paired with a laid back mare with medium or light build because he has enough spirit for ten horses and his offspring are featuring strong temperaments as well. But who said a competitive nature is bad?
His Foal's Acheivements:
[X] The Devil's Touch became a grade three racer in her first year of racing and won the BREEDER'S CUP JUVENILE FILLIES! Her talent proves how amazing her pedigree truly is.
[X] The Winning Touch made is doing excellent! She has 100% consistency with six races already under her belt. Just recently, she finished 2nd in the Y11 Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf! So far in Y12 she's placed in two legs of the Triple Tiara behind the TT Winner Paradise Island! Quite a feat.
[X] Calamity Queen is a Y10 bred filly that will be making her racing debut this upcoming season and we are confident that like most of Touch Up's foals, she'll be a success.
[X] Voodoo Doll is a Y11 bred filly that will be prepping for her 2yo season in this year's prospect races!
