HYPNAGOGIA
|
PERSONALITY
Hypno is a strong, handsome colt, and he seems to know it. While he lacks the outright aggression of his sire, you won't forget for a second he's a colt. He's headstrong and rude, but can be handled with a firm hand and a fair amount of eye-rolling at immature antics. He tends to get nippy and squeals a lot, but it's all mostly a show - he likes the sounds of his own voice but he's not actually mean. It takes some time to gain his respect, but once he and his handler have a rapport, he works very well.
LEG STYLE: MID-PACK
Hypno is headstrong and fractious in the gate, and it's overall best to load him last into the gate to keep him from getting too upset. He breaks quickly but isn't actually eager to take the lead. He drops back and finds his stride in the pack, seemingly unbothered about where the leaders are for most of the race. He enjoys the bump and bustle of the pack, and it just seems to get him more amped up as the race goes on. He doesn't run his race all in one go, though - when it's time for him to start moving, it's important to get him riled up early. His jockey really has to work to get him going, but once he starts to move, it's like a boulder picking up steam rolling downhill. He moves faster and faster through each furlong, and he leaves it all on the track at the finish.
