Well, there ya go.

From him or from one of his assistants, I wonder? (I've seen him work in person - it's kinda like Koehler Method, but for horses, the horse has to fit into the "program" ...)

Yeah Hastings was supposed to be nasty. Fair Play still a bit bonkers (not sure if he was mean or mental). Walter Farley writes the fictionalized MOW book as Mahubah being brought in to that line because the Rock Sand influence would temper the Fair Play crazy if memory serves, but this is supposedly BS. Was Rock Sand a piece of work?

If we're talking about nuts then we have to include the brilliant and temperamental superstah, Rakti.

Remember Sunday Silence also gave Charlie a good kick to the head days before the Belmont too. Also heard he was a handful in Japan. Funny he is out of Halo and someone else on the thread said he was a hot head too.

The one that bit into my shoulder in 1985. I don't remember his name.

I guess there may be meaner horses, but he taught me a lesson I've never forgotten.

I've heard Blushing Groom was pretty nasty.

From what I've read, Hastings was genuinely viscious. Fair Play was not - Fair Play was a bit "off", but not like his sire. MOW was not a horse who necessarily liked to goof around, but he was not a mean horse at all. Thanks to Farley, MOW is my favorite horse of all time.......I always wanted to be that fake groom, Danny, who jumped on MOW and took off for a midnight ride.

Looks like Dynaformer hasn't lost a step. Still "mean as a snake." Rock on, old man.
