LEONINE

PERSONALITY
Leo is a big colt, a mix of new lines and old that will add a lot of value to the program. Born at Valkyrie Stud, Leo has been quite a character his whole life. He spent his young years trying to get beat up by mares that were NOT his mother, sneaking up behind them to get a little snack from the milk bar and running like hell when they realized it was him. He never learned his lesson though, and in the end he and Jayde ended up being put with the older, weaned foals so he'd have friends but no mares to hurt him. Now that he's all grown up (and there is quite a lot of him now), he's no less mischievous. He's a pro at getting his stall door open if not properly pinned, and loves to lead the grooms on a merry chase if they let their guard down. There's nothing aggressive about him, though, so at least he's got that going for him.
LEG TYPE: GRADUAL CLOSER
Leo has too much leg to be a frontrunner, though he has all of the drive for it. He starts slow, having to take considerable time to get his large body moving. He starts so far back you'd think he was out of the race altogether. However, after the first furlong or so, he starts his long closing drive. As soon as he finds a rhythm, he starts increasing his pace and slowly, methodically running down the leaders. He likes to take the lead with a furlong to go, opening up his lead to win by as big a margin as he can.
