Neph is a veritable blend of both of his parents, making for a very bold and sometimes affectionate big grey beast. Made of solid muscle with the stocky build of a short-to-mid-distance horses, Neph has a physical presence made to intimidate. He can take advantage of that with handlers if they don't assert their own dominance, being pushy and crowding if it helps him get where he wants to go. A few sharp shanks and a bark of warning is all it takes to cow him though, since he's not actually out looking for a fight. He's pretty gentle around the other colts, content to simply settle down and graze unless one of them comes at him with any aggression. Like his champion mother, the colt will immediately fight back five times as hard - while he might not start a fight, he'll sure as hell finish it. He's quiet to groom and saddle, and while he can get a little on the muscle at the beginning of the work, he seems to really like being able to clear his head and get down to work. He actually gets pretty sour on their day off, and ends up pacing at the gate the morning after ready to get back to work. He eats like a champion, never missing a meal or going off his feed unless there's something seriously bothering him. He's got everything physically and mentally needed to make an impression at the track. He's got a lot of flash and pomp in the post-parade, and it's not unusual for him to throw a buck or rear in for the pleasure of the crowd. He never pins his ears on race day - at least, not until those gates open. He seems very sour and moody after a race is lost, as if he truly knows that he walked away second-best, and will likely come back so much harder his next race.
LEG TYPE: FRONTRUNNER
Neph takes after his dam's style in its entirety. He's a rocket out of the gate, and then, ears completely pinned, he will fight like a wildcat to keep that lead. If he's left on his own, he'll run a very moderate pace - calm, relaxed, ready to make his move at the end. If he's challenged - not pressed, not pushed, but truly challenged for the lead - he refuses to give up the spot. These races can be equally successful for the colt, but it definitely takes a lot more out of him after the race. He'll run himself past the limits, the bounds of his physical capabilities, to continue to the finish in front. Fatigue is simply a mental emotion, and he does not let it affect him. Pain is nothing. It's only the physical faltering of his limbs that can slow him down, cause him to lose. Heart, though, will never be his issue.
