General Information
"Styx" Registered Thoroughbred Colt Y19 Born Bay 16hh |
Spiteful is no one’s spitting image. He’s a colt of his very own, a master of his own fate, a true Da Vinci man, neither Goliath nor David. While he may not appear to be brawny upon first sight due to his nearly perfect conformation, upon closer inspection, Styx is a wiry, lean, mean machine. His eyes always seem to be alight with mischief and rebellion, daring his human connections to step a toe out of line. The bay colt sets some very narrow standards when it comes to handling him and he most certainly likes his routine. Ask him to do something just a little bit differently or challenge him to go just a bit farther than he wants to go that day, and you can expect that he’ll switch his oddly “blonde” tail and refuse. Quite the contrarian, Styx made for an interesting yearling to break, but eventually the training wore down his stubborn nature and he began to enjoy his work load.

Racing InformationOn the track, Spiteful needs to be kept to himself in the mornings and away from his rivals in the afternoon until he reaches the gate. Nothing will rev this gangbuster-colt up like a crowd or another rival before the race. He must wear ear plugs throughout his exercise and lord help the fool aboard his back should he ever shake one free. His morning workouts are always zippy and sharp, and he’ll often come back having barely broken a sweat. Spiteful will go into the gate in the afternoon if first asked politely. Known for an average break, Spiteful will find himself middle of the pack, but he won’t stay there for long. The rider will restrain for as long as they can, usually for about a furlong or two, before they have to let him go. And once he goes, Spiteful is gone in a sweeping, momentum driven bid for the lead. Spiteful will run like the Mario-kart bullet, mowing down all who remain in his path on his way to victory.
