Bay Colt 16.3 Hands High Registered Thoroughbred "GRADE FIVE" |
PersonalityMixing the lines of The Underdog and Dark Sunrise was something many had not anticipated in the result they received Taro. Taro is an intelligent animal to the point where training this colt has been nothing but a joy as he is aware of what is going on around him. Don't let this intelligence fool you however, Taro is nothing but arrogant and defiant when things are not run to his accord. Like his sire, his ego can go checked if the proper measures are in order but unlike his sire he has his mother's determination to keep him busy. My Secretariat is a horse that holds great stature and when the horse wins it seems he is calm and collected however when he loses, Taro becomes a bit of a jerk and doesn't let anyone get off easy. Taro is similar to Dark Sunrise in agile and his slick movements on the track while like his sire he can be a bit pushy to get what he wants.

StyleTaro is not one to play nice at the gate which is why he is the last to enter it. Metal cages are something the colt fights constantly but within reason he enters it with the thrashing of his tail and the digging into the ground. Once out of the gate, Taro tends to hang back behind the pack allowing to hold off his energy it drives his owners nuts. Once Taro has had a chance to examine his field the colt takes off with tremendous speed riding the rail to get the best of his opponents he seeks through and when the final turn comes around you can guarantee Taro will push for another level of speed and head towards the wire until the win is his and his alone.
