His PersonalityRoy acts like a king - he is the boss and if anyone dares to question that then they best be prepared to deal with a violent reaction. There is no denying that he is highly dominant and not afraid to put his point across in whatever way he deems necessary. He thrives in a competitive environment and is full of enthusiasm for racing. He never backs down from a challenge, has an awful lot of determination and a heart which cannot be denied.
Truly, he seems at his happiest at the track and often becomes surly and moody if kept away for too long. Unlike some horses, Legacy is not motivated by treats. It's not that he doesn't want them, but that this quick-minded colt seems to realize that they won't last very long. The best way to motivate him is to make everything a challenge or contest, then he will give his all. He isn't all about the track, however. He enjoys spending time with people who care for him and running without a challenge. |
His StyleAfter a long shot at first as a closer the staff team had retrained the stallion to push for the lead after leaving the gate. Roy is the last out of the gate finding it difficult to find his strides at first but now once the retraining started the stallion is now pushing forward right when the back stretch appears. Roy has been quite the sneaky horse recently and when the middle of the stretch comes near he backs off before again pushing forward to head into the lead as the home stretch appears.

His Progeny
A Royal Legacy comes from impeccable lines even though Roy did not meet high HOTY races he is surely to produce future G1 racers. He is a very dominant stallion and with his well toned muscles and agile strides, he prefers well behaved mares with the same height. Sprinters are not suitable for Roy, he is a router and would prefer milers and routers. He is also a Dual surfaced stallion, while he would prefer turf over dirt he favors both. Here is your chance to get Merry Bay King Lines.
