Personality:

Juke is a very intelligent boy, he has the usual sparky, flighty and playful spirit about him as most foals do. But he's not at all clumsy. Since the day he was born he was able to tell what he should and shouldn't do. That has to be a good thing right? He is insanely graceful for such a tall and well built horse. He knows where he place his feet, when, and how. He knows how to get out of tough situations and how to sneak his way around. All the same, he is still extremely playful and absolutely a goof. He loves to just sprint around the field and track, challenging other colts and fillies for the fun of it. He does take races seriously, but he tries to look on them lightly so he doesn't become very stressed out about them. So far, his speed is promising and he's sure to be a stunner on the track.

Pedigree: The Natural X Warm Wishes

Racing Style:

Juke likes to break pretty fast from the gate. He doesn't like to lead, he begins to doubt himself when he takes the lead and may ignore his riders commands when in the lead. He really loves being behinds the leaders and annoying them. He follows their pace easily and keeps up with them really well. He can deal with any sort of surface in anyway possible. Once he takes the turn, he just bolts and leaves the leaders in his dust. He has a really strong final kick and has the stamina to keep running until he's the first to cross the finish line. He is perfectly fine with having dirt kicked in his face and is good with getting around it and seeing through it.
