Year Fifteen Juvenile of the Year, Best Two Year Old Colt
Incognito is the third of the Devil's foals to be born, and his birth was unique like all of the Devil's births are. Nero is the only foal of the Devil's who was not attacked at birth. In fact, when he was born the Devil chose to try and kill him in a different way - by ignoring him altogether and not letting him anywhere near her to suckle. Incognito earned his name because he was unknown and ignored from his birth, and it fits him perfectly. Ever since his rejection at birth Nero has been an unknown factor. He is at first sight quiet and mysterious. His movements are controlled and graceful, with no hint at the power lurking beneath his black coat. Nero treats others like a passing fancy - they are like ghosts to him, unreal. He is the only thing that is real within his world. He will deal with anything outside himself in the way that he chooses. Anybody that chooses to try to and alter that worldview will get to see Nero's uniquely violent side. Nero inherited his knowledge of violence from his dam, and boy does he know how to use his hooves and teeth. We quickly learned never to make Nero do what he doesn't want to do, and to let him come to terms with things as he will. With other horses, Nero is quietly dominant. He submits to no other authority but his own, but he does not actually exert that authority over others. He is an outsider looking in. To Nero, the world is beneath his notice. He is self-interested and self-centered and views himself as an anonymous participant in the world.
Leg Type: Mid Pack
People who know Nero's bloodlines are probably searching for the heat that comes with his parentage. They would find that passion on the track. Nero seems to maintain his personality on the track. He is all professionalism in the post parade, well mannered and seemingly unaware to the point of being bombproof. He loads in without a fuss, breaks averagely and settles into the middle of the pack. Nero's special talent is remaining unknown until the critical moment of the race. He flits in between horses, sticking with the pace that it set, but when the field is in the final three furlongs Nero roars into action. Nero is crazily passionate about racing. He loves to run just as his sire did and packs the talent of both of his parents. When Nero starts to race, he really begins to shine like the full moon against a clear sky. He accelerates rapidly and just keeps on getting faster and faster. Nothing stops Nero once he gets going. He comes on like a black wave and people always realize how they missed this shining star before. Nero is like a phantom at the start of a race and a brilliant comet by the end of it. In the heat of battle, Nero becomes aware of the world. He duels his opponents into submission one-by-one or even in groups - it doesn't matter to Nero, because no matter the field size he will come out on top or go down dueling his hardest.
