Registered Name: Everyday Hero
Nickname: Hero
Registration Number: #1026
Age: 13 Year Old
Breed: Thoroughbred
Color/Markings: Bay/Star, 2 socks
Height: 16.2hh
Gender: Stallion
Personality: Although back in his day Hero was a feisty colt he has now matured into a much more placid creature. Well, until breeding season anyway. He mostly enjoys human attention, with a truly soft nature and a love for peppermint, but once a mare is in his paddock he is a different horse - he becomes territorial, protective and much more like the horse he once was.
Pedigree: Created X Created
Pedigree Comments: Hero was imported with unknown lines.
Race Record: 51-18-15-9
Grade: G1
Dirt: Great
Turf: Great
Distance: 5-11 Furlongs
Leg Type: Mid
Racing Comments: Hero broke well from the gates but would be slow to pick up the pace, dropping into the pack and seeming to disappear for most of the race. He was a quiet but focused racer, filled with heart and determination and happy to have dirt kicked in his face. He would press up a little in the middle section of a race, often finding himself beside the preceders when they came into the stretch when he would just run. In the stretch, Hero had sheer presence and showed himself to have the speed and stamina of a champion.
