[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]

Akuma is usually quiet. Not quiet as in easy to ride, friendly or laid back, but quiet as in he doesn't have much to say. That's about all the 'quiet' word applies to with Akuma. This colt has a silent, deadly air about him that has the ability to send full grown men and stallions running. There's a lot more to Akuma than meets the eye, though. He has a soft spot for his the humans of the female gender, but never men. Until this brawny colt suffered an injury that nearly ended his career, Akuma didn't put out a great deal in his racing. He was usually more interested in taking down any horse that tried to past him, which usually resulted in a top four placing. But sometime during his recovery, Akuma seemed to realise who he was, and what he could achieve if he put in the necessary effort. He's still a brawny beast, but now he realises that racing isn't just about who is fastest, or strongest, but who comes out in first.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]WHY THE HALL OF FAME?

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]

Akuma has sired four foals to date and all of them have been grade one winners. He's batting 100% for all of his progeny and they have shown that even under adverse or unusual conditions, they have what it takes to make their mark. I definitely think that this guy's nomination has been long overdue.
