THE GREATER GOOD
Martyr Registered Thoroughbred Colt Year 18 born Bay 16.3 HH Leasing from KingHarry Taking after his sire in terms of dominance, The Greater Good is a colt that likes to let the world know that he's in charge, be it when it comes to horses or humans. He'll stubbornly refuse to do anything unless it is on his own terms - or, what he perceives to be his own terms. The trick to handling him into thinking that he's getting his own way when, in reality, he's being played like a fiddle.
Restless, he'll often chew on and play with whatever he can find, his stable door and trees in the paddock being his most common victims. To try and counter this, Martyr has been offered all sorts of toys and things to keep him stimulated but, on the end, he always ends up either destroying them or growing bored - inevitably returning to his old favourites after a while. Another quirk that he has is that he hates dogs. This has proven troublesome many times as there are a number of working and pet dogs around the paddocks and barn. Staff try to keep an eye on dogs when they know that Martyr is out, making it so that, thankfully, none have actually been hurt by this speedy colt. |

RACING INFORMATION
Grade 4 7-10 furlongs Turf 20-5-4-5 [Stalker] The starting gate was a problem at first due to Martyr's stubbornness but, with a lot of patience, eventually he grew used to it enough to tolerate it at the very least. The second he breaks, he wants to rush to the front. His jockey holds him back, though - keeping him behind the front one or two horses - which allows him to build up frustration so that, at the right moment, he can let him truly run and The Greater Good bursts forward with all the built up energy. From here, there is no stopping him. He's like a speeding bullet as he gallops with increasing momentum, determined to be the first to cross the line.
