the information
Personality
This boy needs his own barn and paddock with Fort Knox type security on it. Despite being rarely raced Diesel is worldwide infamous for his temperament. He is the most dominant, headstrong, bad tempered horse anyone has ever known. Then again with his sire being Admiral's Revenge, his grandsire being War Admiral, and his dam being All Smiles who is well known for producing "spirited" foals his temperament isn't surprising. Diesel does what he wants to do, and if that means trampling a few horses in his way then so be it. He has been known to take it too far when he's fighting, which most of the time is when someone provokes him, and does have a habit of escaping since he is really intelligent. However he is maturing as he has aged over the years.

Workouts
Diesel starts incredibly quickly, but can settle almost anywhere in the field. He is a speedy stallion, who with a bit of work would make it as a super stud. We rests along the rail, not charging off at high speeds, but saving his stamina to power over his obstacles and fight his way to victory. He will rally along the rail or come to the outside and come down the centre of the track.
