PERSONALITY
Bone Itch - Itchy - took her name partly after how she is constantly attempting to scratch herself against any fence or wall she can due to the fact that she has sweet itch. Of course, once this was determined steps were taken to reduce her discomfort - staff going through countless bottles of fly spray to help her and keeping her covers during peak biting times. They also keep her mane hogged during the summer to keep her appearance neater and attempt to make it easier to apply any treatments. Itchy takes after her dam in may regards. She too has a nasty, over-protective streak - especially when it comes to food. Extreme care must be taken by anybody attempting to separate this filly from her lunch, lest they end up with a sharp nip to their shoulder or a hoof flying in their direction. She also gets protective of any horses that she deems herself friends with - hating to be separated from them and throwing a fit whenever this happens. One horse that she is particularly fond of is the good-natured Deepfake. They say opposites attract, and nowhere is this clearer than with this odd couple.
LEG TYPE: CLOSER
Despite her strong personality, Bone Itch is surprisingly amiable on the track. She listens well to her jockey and is very responsive to any small instructions. Most would put her down as a front-runner when they first saw her, but Bone Itchy far prefers to run at the back of the pack - acting as a strong closer. She lets the nippy front-runners exhaust themselves, rushing forward on the final stretch with all the energy that she has reserved through her slightly slower pace - burning through it to take the win for herself.
