DUKE OF BURGUNDY
|
PERSONALITY
Duke is quiet and unassuming, even more of a plain brown wrapper than his parents. He's a bit of a shadow in the barn - good but not so friendly he's overly memorable, behaved but without a shining personality. When listing horses on the string, one might even forget to say his name - might, of course, if it wasn't for his on-track performance. That single-minded, chill personality equates to a driven, military-precision mount. He takes every workout very seriously, and wastes no time with antics.
LEG TYPE: STALKER
Duke breaks respectably from the gate, not first with the hotheads but not last with the slow-goers. He settles in 3-4 lengths off of the lead group, happy to weather the dirt in his face while tracking the early pacesetters. He listens well to guidance, not fighting or wasting energy in the early legs of the race. However, as the race goes on, energy seems to build in him like a spring being slowly coiled tighter and tighter, one twist at a time. Only in this does he take things into his own hands - once he's wound so tight he can stand it no longer, Duke makes his move in a massive burst of speed. He drives until he's got absolutely nothing left in the tank.
