Year Eighteen Encouragement Award
Great Revenge is a colt hell bent on winning. He's inherited his dam's and granddam's tendency to be crazy and quite aggressive, as well as their desire to lead races wire to wire. From his sire's side, Rev inherited real arrogance and treats himself as though he's king of the world. Rev is never an easy horse to handle. He gives every horse and human a tough time, biting or standing on toes and baring his teeth at horses as he pleases. He is strong and willful and does not bend in the face of command. Any person that deals with him needs to be supremely confident or will risk being hurt by this aggressive colt. Any person that thinks they've gotten the better of Rev will then discover the frightful intelligence that lurks beneath the surface. Rev is a hothead with the capability to be tactical when the situation calls for it. He can come up with plans and execute in a vicious manner. The colt is brutishly strong and prone to being a bully, but he certainly isn't all brawn. While Rev may not necessarily be anybody's friend, he commands respect and does respect those that respect him.
Leg Type: Front Runner
Any horse looking to beat Rev to the punch better get a new goal in life, as Rev is simply too on his game on the racetrack to let that happen. Rev is a professional on the racetrack. He warms up well, gates even better and breaks like a bullet shot out of a gun. He goes right for that lead just like grand-dam Rising Fury did, and he does not let that lead go for any horse that challenges. He can't stand to be behind another horse and feels the need to be least a full length ahead. If he's not running in full flight, he'll lash out at horses that come too close, but when racing he shuts them down with a spurt of competitive speed and the deadly look in his eye. Rev rides the rail around that track and never slows. He only gets faster with every passing furlong. He never stops fighting for the win and will look defeat square in the face, never accepting it. As soon as the stretch is straight out in front of him, Rev will leave it all on the track and go for it. He is speed on speed and runs distance races like a quick sprinter, but ends up having the stamina required to back him up.
