What would this colt do best in? 2 BC's Broken and 119 Speed

I cant choose between having him in HoF, Racing, FH or Eventing. What would he most likely succeed in?

Either just straight to young FH ... or Racing -> Steeple -> FH for example or Racing -> Steeple -> HoF cross disiplines :3

Since he is slim, he will fail in track, though might do well in steeple, I've heard that FH favors a very slender build. Might do well in hunter or HoF.

and the BC isn't 'broken', he is born two over BC... a true broken BC is different (and means that all BC foals born after that will be born with those stats). Not saying that it isn't awesome when it happens, it just isn't technically a 'broken' BC.

Agree with the above, he is of slim build so not as likely to do well in track (plus I don't think that tall horses tend to do better in track), but Hunter or 3 Day or Sport only SJ would probably be a good place for him.

Oh i missed the build lol, yeah definately NO racing... my dumb moment

Thanks everyone!

Aniara Im a little confused in what your saying. Do you mean like straight FH or Steeple/Jumping? How would someone train in two different disciplines?
quasarsmom thanks im gonna conciser those!
Zimmy Ohhhhhhhhh! I get it now! Oh gosh i feel so stupid now. Thanks for that though and Ive seen several tall TBs with high winnings that were 16 Hands and in track but thanks I like your ideas especially sport only SJ

What type of build is meant for racing so i know in the long run? So he would be better in Jumping or FH?

Since your horse has slim build, you could get it event trained for Fox Hunting, slim build is bad for racing.

What I mean with cross disipline is you'd train your horse for racing and start under 5 racing events moving up to under 6 racing and at age of 7 move to steeplechace events of under 8 and then under 9, when your horse passes optimum age for steeplechace and think its not winning in that area anymore, you can change disipline to sport(fox hunting) and continue eventing there. But before you can do that you should max out the speed slowly during those years in racing.

But more simple is to do a full career in fox hunting :3

very slender, though it is very hard to get a really tall TB that is very slender.
