Mourning Passion

Horse Information
Registered Number: 1429
Nickname: Mourn
Age: Three (Y11)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Black
Height: 16 hands
Gender: Colt
Personality: Mourn takes after both of his grandsires, Impassioned Wind and Augusto. Overall, Mourn is a high energy dominator. He's cruel, but not vicious. However, it wouldn't be smart to turn your back on him if you were handling him. He always seems to be plotting simply because of the look in his eyes. Once he gets on the track he can barely restrain himself from charging after the first horse he spots just because he's so competitive. Racing is more than just a sport for him, it's a passion. He is always the type to be very serious but on the track it's different. His seriousness becomes pure concentration. He can't stand when other horses don't take a race seriously so he won't hold himself back from teaching them a lesson and absolutely destroying them in the race. Mourn doesn't take loosing easily and will stop at nothing to crush any challenger when they come into sight. Due to his serious behavior, Mourn does not act up before a race but instead is quiet and focused. He brings a hushed silence to the paddock and moves that to the track.

Pedigree: Tempered Passion x Requiem
Pedigree Comments: Tempered Passion retired as a grade one racehorse with a record of 33-13-9-6. Mourn is Tempered Passion's first foal. Requiem retired as a grade four racehorse with a record of 6-4-2-0. Requiem has turned into a prolific broodmare for Intrepid Racing Stables. She is dam of Hall of Fame mare Deadly Desires, grade one runner and Witch Creek broodmare, Screaming Mimi, grade one Triple Tiara contender, Seraphim, sensational two year old filly Nightshade and grade three Canjun Moon. Mourning Passion is her most recent foal. Mourn should be a very impressive colt if he's anything like his siblings, parents, and especially his grandsires, Impassioned Wind who retired with a record of 92-15-12-23 or Augusto, sire of Bucephalus.

Racing Information

Prospect Record: 1-0-0-0
Race Record: 8-3-2-2
Consistency: 88%
Dirt: Great
Turf: Good
Distance: 7-10
Leg Type: Front/Preceder
Racing Style: He doesn't mess around in the gate and waits for the break patiently. Mourn charges from the gate and pushes hard for the first hundred yards before letting up and letting the the other front runners go up in front. Mourn doesn't tolerate pushing by stalkers and will drop back beside them if they attempt to do so. Mourn likes to start gaining ground around the turn and by the time they have entered the homestretch, he has taken off and is surging away from all competitors. If a horse comes up and challenges him, Mourn has enough will and drive to push off and get away from them gamely.
