RACE INFORMATIONGrade 4
9-12 furlongs Turf [Great] Dirt [Great] (Surface Supreme Applied Y20 Sep W4) Race Results: 18 | 4-5-5 | 80% Running Style: Closer You would think that with his highly competitive nature, Hero would break as fast as he could to get to the front, however that is not the case. Actually, Hero does quite the opposite. Hero enjoys taking his time getting out of the gate and being taking up the back of the pack early in the race. There is nothing Hero loves more than the chase. His competitive nature kicks into full gear as they begin rounding the final turn and Hero moves forward through the placings, picking off his competition one by one. He gives a final burst of speed as they hit the stretch and will battle to the end in order to come out on top. WORKOUTS
