Personality

Billy is moody, arrogant and outgoing, yet sweet and affectionate to those closest to him. He has always been a stunner since the day he was born - always the most striking colt in the field, the most elegant and well put together, the most well behaved yet fiesty horse of the lot. Billy has many of the qualities his older full brother Impressario has, including amazing speed and great stamina. He gets his 'nice' side from his dam Bank On Silver, and his fire and unruly arrogance from his sire, Merry Bay King. Billy is a trickster, too - he takes after the stable clown Split Second in his delight for agitating his handlers. He is pleasantly focused and enthusiastic in workouts, and incredibly determined to win once faced with an opponent. His racing style is pretty versatile, but he runs best behind the leaders until the final one and a half furlongs. As for his relationships, Billy has a special bond with rider Sarah Star, who has been there for him since the day he was born. As far as horses go, he's secretly always had a crush on the temperamental filly Vindictive Fury (we think).
