Every now and then i drink too much caffeine and my brain goes into overdrive, with the results often being bonkers and/or hilarious. I have recently had one such episode, so here is one for you guys to poke a little fun at yourselves and each other!!

If YOU (or anyone else you can think of) were a racehorse, who would you be and why??

Think about it for a second, racehorses have as much individual character as us humans, some being intelligent, others showing heart and determination, some just live to dominate others and be as successful as they can be. There are horses that thrive in the spotlight, and others that seem to shy away from attention. And of course there are a handful that (like me) are triers, but often get no-where!! :lol:

TBH i'm not hugely familiar with many racehorses, but do know of the more famous ones. Feel free to label me based on this article, safe in the knowledge that i would take no offense, after all, this is just a fun exercise that should produce some interesting theories!!

Have fun, and let your imagination run wild! :)

I would be like Challenger Du Luc, a frustrating type that oozes class but never goes through with his effort.

Watching him outsmart Tony McCoy every time was a joy to watch.

Well, I may be in the gutter but I can....

No actually, I think I'd rather be Comply or Die. Anyone who saw him stalk into the parade ring before last year's Eider, sneering down his nose at the merely mortal competitors will know what I mean.

Not at all like me in real life of course.

Judging from my username you can see which horse suits me the most. I always give 110%, you can never rule me out even when i look beaten and fearless in a battle!

A few years R Alner trained a horse called Harwell Lad.he would never do anything he didnt want to do,he might stop mid race or win.Very Unpredictable.

That was a real class animal. Such a shame he did before we saw the peak of his powers on the track.

Class yes. Tempermental bugger yes. Top athletes in any sport can be volatile, just look at Ronnie O'Sullivan.
