personality
French is a horse that likes to have things his way all the time. He wasn't an easy horse to work with, most of the time ill-tempered at best. As a youngster, he was hard to focus and studlike, but after years of work he has settled into a proper... horse. Gentleman would be far too kind. French has a kind eye and a relaxed nature in the barn. Oftentimes, you'll find the leggy animal sprawled across his straw bedding as though he needs every inch of space to get a good rest. He's particularly fond of being scratched behind the ears while laying down and likes his tongue being tugged. For a Night Stalker descendant, he has a lot pleasant character traits and you likely have to credit his dam line for that.
On the track, French is a runner through and through. When he goes into the paddock, he gets his game face on and he doesn't relinquish said face until he's getting his after race rub down. He's okay to handle in the paddock and must always have his ear stuffies if he is to remain okay. His jocks always comment on the power they feel when they sit aboard the horse. He jigs through most of his pre-race activities, but he doesn't lose any energy prior to getting in the gate. He'll bounce out of the contraption with ease, taking a couple strides before he'll catch the quicker horses. He will settle off the pace if asked and is not a need the lead type which gives him an added edge when running longer distances. He has a habit of waiting on competition when he gets to the front, but boy they better bring the jaws of life if they want that victory and he's the only one standing in the way. His heart and courage are second to none when it's a battle to the finish.
