Personality
† Despite his name he is actually a sweetheart who just loves to run. He has the most amazing determination we have ever seen. His life revolves around racing and racing to win! He is probably the only horse who does not like treats. He will eat carrots for sure but does not like apples, sugar cubes, mints or oranges. He is definitely a different character and it makes it just so much easier to love him. History
† Demon was bought at the “Original” Auction at MHS. We bought Demon in hopes of bringing in some new blood to our stable. We loved his looks and his personality. He has already made it into a graded stakes winner and is making a name for himself. He has been doing really well at our farm and we hope he will continue to do well. In 2009 Demon became our second horse ever to be entered into the GHF Hall of Fame. He is a well known sprinter around the racing world and we are honored to have him stand stud at Akita Rose Stables. |

† Demon is a furious competitor with a lot of spirit. He absolutely hates to lose. He loves racing to win and too many losses in a row could definitely takes their toll on him. Without winning his confidence fades. On the track he greatly prefers sprints because he can be up front easier. He tends to run on or near the lead so that his nose can be up front the whole race. He prefers turf tracks but runs well on dirt as well as long as the track is fast. He has an incredible speed throughout the whole race and an extra little kick just before the wire. In his first race he failed to win and it made him just more determined to win the next race. There was no horse that even came close to catching him that day. He is the fastest sprinter Akita Rose Stables has ever had! |
