At just 5 years old, A Relentless Buzz is already the kind of head horse Trevor Brazile can back into the box on without much to manage—and that maturity helped carry the gray to the Six-and-Under Heading win at the Texas Best Futurity.
On this episode of The Short Score, Brazile breaks down what makes A Relentless Buzz so solid, from mature box work and plenty of run to the smooth way the big horse handles himself throughout a run. The gelding has become one Brazile takes to the jackpots, too, because there simply is not much about him that is easy to fault.
“There’s really nothing that I have to think about when I show that horse,” Brazile said. “There’s no buttons to push. You just go do your job because he’s getting so solid.”
Brazile also talks through why the lighter cattle and setup at the Texas Best Futurity offered a valuable test ahead of the bigger fall shows. For young horses, he said, every trip is another chance to take their temperature, see where anxiety may show up and make sure they are progressing rather than simply logging runs.
As for what makes A Relentless Buzz stand out? Brazile starts with his ability to score, then points to his speed and movement. Despite being a bigger horse, the gray stays smooth and athletic, leaving Brazile with only one real detail to maintain: making sure all that run comes back underneath him smoothly when he gets to the cow.
