Jockey: Violet Mereficus
Last Ran: August Week One Leg Type: Front Runner/Closer Wrath does not shed his aggressive demeanor on the track, though with his jockey keeping him under control he typically toes the line between manageable and too-scary-to-deal-with. Regardless, he is not tolerant of having a track pony accompany him during warm-up or to the gate. Gate handlers are warned not to touch this colt when he's loading; he'll take care of himself. Once those gates close, Wrath aggressively rockets out of them and typically finds himself in one of two places. If the race is six furlongs or shorter, Wrath will bullet to the front and stay there. He will control the pace of the race from start to to finish, turning down challengers as they come in with his blitzy speed. If the race is seven furlongs or longer, though, Wrath is taken to the back to close from behind. All of his speed is carefully contained until the final two furlongs. Then, Wrath is let loose. He is known for running his final quarters as his fastest times, because once he's told to go Wrath does not look back. He goes, relishes the feeling of passing others, and lives to be alone in front at the wire. |
it's a haunting sort of furyThough Wrathful Curse isn't tall and scary like big sister Amaris, he is terrifying in his own special way. Wrath is quiet and proud. If you don't mess with his space, then he'll leave you be, but territorial incursions get met with bared teeth and a truly ferocious temper. You would never expect it from his small, lithe build, but Wrath is aggressive. He doesn't take kindly to horses or humans getting on the wrong side of him and resorts to pinned ears and then teeth in quick succession if ever challenged or annoyed by those around him. As such, Wrath is a loner. He prefers his own company over all others, but will occasionally tolerate an anti-social pasture companion or two. He appreciates quiet attention from those he's gotten acclimated to, such as jockey Violet Mereficus or one of his daily groomers, but strangers are met with inherent suspicion bordering on aggression. Wrath is not brawn lacking brains, though. He is fiercely intelligent, a trademark of granddam Little Miss Innocent's line. Despite his aggression, he was a quick learner under saddle and took to the track like a fish to water.
