PERSONALITY
Thanos is not for the faint at heart; his extreme energy levels strongly influence his motor system. This horse is almost never relaxed; a ticking time bomb that everybody knows to be aware of. Anything will give him a reason to react, no matter how seemingly small. In a sterile environment, he might be more enjoyable, but in the real world he's a dynamo with a nasty sting. You need to be on your toes if you want to do anything with his horse, if something catches him by surprise, where most horses spook away from the unknown stimulus - Thanos leaps towards it, all guns blazing. Tread carefully, his handlers have learnt to always be one step ahead of him, but no matter how much they feel they know him and how good they think they are at predicting his reactions, every member of staff has some sort of horror story and Thanos is usually the star of the show. Oddly enough, Thanos likes to have horse company and yet is generally an ass to them, leaning on them (literally at times) and yet not standing for it if they attempt to do the same. The source of drama with the other colts during turn out, Thanos doesn't know when enough is enough and will harass his company to the point of no return. Though not outright violent to his pasture-mates, he's tirelessly persistent in his herding, nipping and taunting. Testing of everybody's patience, this is a colt with character by the tonne and one you really need to be careful around. Written by Lolly |
RACING STYLE
Flynn can be quite scattered in his starts; something his training is ever on-going for. It's not always forseeable where he will break, but regardless of his start he always pushes to find his comfort zone. Once his jockey has settled him into position behind the front-runners, he's a pace setter with a mean streak and a tireless endeavour to tip them over the edge and push them harder than they can maintain. A beast on the track, this guy can be frighteningly fast and frighteningly pushy; he needs an experienced jockey who knows the ideal balance between allowing him to push the leaders and not allowing him to expend too much energy. Get it right, and this kid knows no bounds to his endeavours. His slighty greater range typically gives him the stamina boost he needs to maintain the pressure on the leader long enough to sweep upwards in the final stages and take their place in the frontlines. With a ferocious finishing charge to make the audience hold their breath, Flynn loves nothing more than to upset the competition and whisk the win away with overt force. Written by Lolly |
