Hard Tack was inbred 3x2 to *Rock Sand, so he was even closer to the same sources of difficult temperament than War Relic.

I saw Foolish Pleasure in 1991, he was in the back of his stall and I was able to enter and quickly take his picture.

Reference Point, who stood at Dalham was a perfect gentleman most of the year but something would happen and he'd become a savage beast the rest of it. Then it would stop and without warning start again. He really hurt one of the grooms.

Marshua's Dancer had to have planks between his pasture and his neighbors (he didn't have anyone on the left side) or if he could see another stud he'd jump out and go after him.

I had heard Secreto could be temperamental too, but when I saw him at Calumet he had his head over the fence, ears pricked.

Alleged was another one who was mean, but I'm not sure if he mellowed with age.

That surprises me because I saw him out in his paddock and asked why there were boards at the back and one side and that's what they told me. There was an open space on the other side and at the front of the paddock, and I'm trying to remember who was his next door neighbor. Maybe he just didn't like that horse. His paddock was more towards the front of where all the paddocks were and I believe on the other side was where Manastash Ridge, Time for a Change and J.O. Tobin were.

Cormorant was easy to work with, however, out in his paddock watch out. If you dared go in with him he'd run you over and try to do some serious harm. He hated having horses next to him, they built a special paddock for him with 10 foot solid fences so he couldn't see Go and Go next to him. You still couldn't turn them out together because Cormorant would kick the boards to try to get to him.

In his stall he'd stick out his tongue and would go into a trance if you would hold it or stroke it. You could just about operate on him then. He is a neat horse....

Many years ago we had Bold Tack, a son of Bold Ruler out of a daughter of Hard Tack, great sprinter. Although he was a gelding he was really mean.

A local stallion in Ontario called Afleets Dancer savaged his owner. How I heard to story was that the owner went to get him out of his paddock and he attacked the owner had him pinned on the ground and the farrier showed up and drove his truck threw the fence toward to stallion to get him off. The owner was quite badly injured and hospitalized. Afleets Dancer was euthanized after that.

We had a stallion for 1 year who was vicious. I sold him to a vet for sporthorse breeding. I thought she could handle him. One day while walking past his stall (she had half doors) she turned and looked at him, reached to pet him and he grabbed her entire face in his mough and flung her across the barn aisle. The outcome was 248 stitches, 2 fractured orbits, a fractured jaw and a reattached nose. He got the death penalty.

That reminded me of Reggie, Don't know his registered name, doesn't matter though, he was a gelding. Anyway this shit went after everybody that walked by, we had all asked the owner/exercise girl to put up a full screen but she would not. The jerk grabed her by the breast one day and lifted her about 2 feet off the ground, held her a few seconds then droped her. Do you know the ignorant bitch still wouldn't put up the full screen :evil:

This is really fun/informative but isn't there a book somewhere??
