VIRUS
" Registered Thoroughbred Colt Year 19 born Black 16.2 H Virus has only been a pain in the butt so far. He's stubborn and grumpy, and if you don't know how to stand your ground you're in for a trip. Everything he does is the opposite of what you want from him, and will do the very most to push you towards your limits. He likes to be challenged and to push the boundaries of anything he can. If he thinks there's something to be gained from an action, he's going to try his best to do it. He'll often manage to slip his tongue over the bit, so he has to be raced with a tongue tie for everyone's safety. He also has a tendency to spook at silly things on the ground, and thus will often be raced with a shadow roll as well. When not on the track he doesn't seem to spook at much, but we figure when you're moving at speed and some weird shadow pops up out of nowhere you're not going to be too happy with it. He isn't really a horse than enjoys other company so he's perfectly happy when he's left alone to his own devices.

RACING INFORMATION
Maiden 5-10 furlongs Dirt 3-0-1-0 Given 2 furlong extension [FRONT-RUNNER] Straight out the gate and right up to the front of the pack, the sooner Virus gets away from the horses in the race the better he'll be. Setting the pace without distractions is where he's happiest, it also means that he can be in charge to an extent. He's got no issue with the horses behind pressing him on, either he'll take up the challenge for a shorter distance race or he'll sit at his current pace and annoy them a little bit for the long run. While he's setting the pace he isn't necessarily going all out from the very beginning, he keeps just enough energy in order to put even more distance between himself and the pack at the end of the race.
