Personality: King has an unpredictable attitude. One minute he will be a total sweetheart the next he is mean tempered. He has a close bond with his jockey but, around strangers he feels most uncomfortable. Once on the track King shows his true colors. He has no fear of the gate in fact he is seen dashing his head side to side to show the gate who's boss. He can also be a bit loud which drives others insane sometimes. He does love a little attention now and then but, this colt drives to win. He has been debated whether to begin his steeplechase career or continue his flat racing career. He is madly a charmer and does not like to be in his stable and so he spends most of his treasuring time out in the paddock where he throws his attention to show off alone. He doesn't mind a rider on his back but, if he chooses he may also buck his rider off just to show who has the control. He has his own paddock because he tends to bite other horses no matter how fond he is to them. He has the attitude of any adolescent. Taming him is not an option he chooses to be ridden.

Racing Comments: King is always in the middle of the pack. When first starting out he always takes the lead to show he is not kidding around. As, the race moves forward he ends up in the middle challenging his competitors moving from the inside out all the way through until the last furlong where King seems to pick up more speed. Near the end he ends up near the front yet again and always seems to hold his ground fighting for first place.
