A ROYAL LEGACY
Y10 Bay Thoroughbred Stallion. "Legacy"
Registration Number: #1382 Bloodlines
† Legacy's sire needs no introduction - the unforgotten Hall Of Fame inductee, Merry Bay King. This stallion won the best Older Horse and Horse Of The Year awards, reached Grade One at a time when doing such was rare, and had a rivalry with True Enough which went down in history. Among his impressive 34 career wins, the Cox Plate, Unicorn Horn Classic and Breeder's Cup Turf stand out as major accomplishments. But just making a name for himself on the track was not enough for this stallion and upon retirement he became a star in the breeding shed also. He is an inductee into the Breeder's Hall of Fame. His foals include the triple crown winner, HoF Impressario (G1), HoF Simply A Flyer (G1), Lawliet's Girl (G1), Euphorion (G1), Bank On Greatness (G1), and some more young and upcoming foals. † Queen Of Hearts raced at around the same time as Merry Bay King and won an impressive nineteen races. She achieved the Queens Award and, in Year 8, was named as a Mare To Watch at Green Horse Fields. She is grade one and is also inducted into the Breeder's Hall of Fame. Her foals include Dark Sunrise (G1), Limitless Time (G1), HoF Fleet Goddess (G1), Sugar Jayde (G1), Heartless Revenge and My Man O' War. |
Personality
† Legacy acts like a king - he is the boss and if anyone dares to question that then they best be prepared to deal with a violent reaction. There is no denying that he is highly dominant and not afraid to put his point across in whatever way he deems necessary. He thrives in a competitive environment and is full of enthusiasm for racing. He never backs down from a challenge, has an awful lot of determination and a heart which cannot be denied. Truly, he seems at his happiest at the track and often becomes surly and moody if kept away for too long. Unlike some horses, Legacy is not motivated by treats. It's not that he doesn't want them, but that this quick-minded colt seems to realize that they won't last very long. The best way to motivate him is to make everything a challenge or contest, then he will give his all. He isn't all about the track, however. He enjoys spending time with people who care for him and running without a challenge. |

† Legacy is a horse that likes to come from the back, seeming almost laid back in the early stages as he follows the group - almost as if he wants to make it last. Around half way through the race he starts to pull his game together and move up with an exhaustive speed - yet he doesn't seem to slow. With his heart and determination every stride counts and he loves to leave his opponents in the dust. When stride for stride with another horse he never backs down and becomes all the more determined to gain the upper hand. |
