Personality
He's an animated creature, full of passion, life and... attitude. He has that wild, pushy nature about him and Vik always seems to find a way to turn things into a competition. He's always pushing the envelope and pushing limits to find new experiences and new adventures. He was a lot to train because half the battle was getting him to stand still long enough to be saddled. He's a lot like his half-brother Duke in that manner. Always wanting to be on the move and always wanting to be in the thick of things. He needs to be worked out a lot in order to not become a nightmare in the barn and as a result, he has a very rigid workout regime. If he doesn't get that exercise, he's a total asshole to deal with. So needless to say, IRS makes sure that this boy gets to blow off some steam on the tracks.
Vik's vivacious and loud personality definitely feeds into his racing style. On race day, he feeds off the energies of the crowd. He's definitely a crowd pleaser with his high, smooth action. During the post-parade he's almost looks like a dancing Lipizzaner. He collects himself as he eyes the competition, working who's who and how to get an advantage. It's clear to see that even though he's full of energy and power, he has a brain and is working and thinking long before the race has started. Once loaded into the gates he's like a ticking time bomb and once those gates release he sets right behind the leaders of the race and there he bides his time, but not without heckling the leaders. Sometimes he presses the leaders hard and other times he waits for the moment to just swing out wide and challenge any and all to the finish and that is when he shines the most. His turn of foot is dazzling and all of that energy, power and speed is put onto full display as he soars for home. Personality by Cav |
