Greatness's sire, Merry Bay King, was the first champion stallion ever to race on Green Horse Fields' tracks. He was a big fan of the turf, and won races such as the Cox Plate*, Unicorn Horn Classic* and Breeder's Cup Turf*. He was crowned Racehorse Of The Year in Y3 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame, having retired with an amazing record of 106-34-25-21. Bank On Silver was the first champion mare to ever to race on Green Horse Fields' tracks. She loved the dirt, and won races such as the Golden Opportunity Stakes, Championship Stakes, Filly Cup, and Zodiac Stakes. Silver was crown Racehorse of The Year when she retired in Y2 and was inducted into the Hall Of Fame with a record of 69-28-11-9.
Greatness is moody, arrogant and outgoing, yet sweet and affectionate to those closest to him. He has always been a stunner since the day he was born - always the most striking colt in the field, the most elegant and well put together, the most well behaved yet fiesty horse of the lot. Greatness has many of the qualities his older full brother Impressario has, including amazing speed and great stamina. He gets his 'nice' side from his dam Bank On Silver, and his fire and arrogance from his sire, Merry Bay King. He is pleasantly focused and enthusiastic in workouts, and incredibly determined to win once faced with an opponent. His racing style is pretty versatile, but he runs best behind the leaders until the final one and a half furlongs. As for his relationships, Greatness has a special bond with rider Sarah Star, who has been there for him since the day he was born. As far as horses go, he's secretly always had a crush on the temperamental filly Vindictive Fury (we think).
Leg Type: Preceder
No matter the distance, the surface or the pace, Billy remains a true behind the leaders runner. He breaks well, then assumes a second place, third place or fourth place position, depending on the field size, and then runs according to the pace. He makes his move when the frontrunners begin to tire and drop back.
