Personality
Everyone is always asking us about that 'grey colt over there'. People are just drawn to Cos and they can never really tell us why they like him so much at first glance. That's when we start explaining who he is and where he came from. Cos is the only grey foal of one of WB's favorite BC Turf winner, FS Waylay Attack and the OS favored Starbucks. How'd we get so lucky? Let's just say it helps to have friends. Cos is a real case! He's energetic and playful and very intelligent. He'll spend hours trying to figure things out. It only took him two days to figure out how to open his stall!! So needless to say, we have to be on our toes around this unique Waylay son. We have high hopes for this guy and hope that one day he too will carry on the name of a BC Champion.
Cos as we stated is an intelligent horse. He's lithe and agile and isn't afraid to face a strong field or a formidable foe. He is all about pushing the limits, experimenting and isn't easily discouraged or dissuaded. A colt that thrives on exploring and challenging and figuring things out...well let's just say he thrives on the race track. Though high energy in the schooling yard, you better believe this colt is carefully looking at his competition, trying to figure them out like a rubix cube. Breaking from the gates, Cos won't be the first one out, he would much rather plot from behind. He could easily charge to the front and lead wire to wire with his high levels of energy and competitiveness, but for him there's no fun in that. He's had an interesting start to his racing career, but though he's started behind other horses his age, his tenacious personality reassures us that this grey wonder will fight to the finish and will never let you forget his name, Cosmic Warfare.
Pedigree Comments
[X] FS Waylay Attack is a retired Grade One stallion owned by Whitebrook Farm. There is so much we could say about this chestnut legend. With a record of 21 career wins to his name, Waylay is no amateur runner. Most of his fame was accumulated on The Wire and MHS. He is the winner of the Breeder's Cup Turf two times and was also the winner of the Turf Horse of the Year in the 2007 Eclipse Awards. Walyay was also a leading turf sire in his freshman year. His first foal was the undisputed winner of the BC Juvenile Turf. Needless to say, Waylay is a supreme turf champion and he is passing it on to his foals. From his sire, Cosmic Warfare is half-sibling to Alluring Assault (G1) the only other active Waylay foal. So not only are his lines rare, but they have been demonstrated to be able to go to the top.
[X] Starbucks is one of the finest bred thoroughbred mares we could have used. Sired by Twilight Stakes Winner Spotted By a Star and out of proven brood Pride of Seattle, Starbucks is a well-lined brood. She currently has only two foals, Cosmic Warfare (G4) and the retired Popcorn Blitz (G5). Her lines are rare and not well-circulated making Cos a rare gem.
Cos has the pedigree and the team here at Intrepid rooting for him and though now at the age of four, we are expecting the colt to really start coming into his own.
