Parayko is named after esteemed St Louis Blues hockey player Colton Parayko. Both are tall, strong, fast, and handsome. If someone reading this knows Colton, please let him know that his namesake is calling for him!! Parayko has all of the pieces, and after a bit of letdown, eating and muscling up, this boy will be so special.
He is lightly raced with only 3 starts. He trains really well on the track, but when it comes to race day, his interest wanes. His connections' loss is our collective gain; this guy will be a very impressive horse when he fills out and grows into himself.
He is retiring with no issues or injuries; however, he has been seen to crib at meal times. An easy ring on his feed tub solved the issue, he has not needed a cribbing collar.
He is very well-behaved with great ground manners.
