Born at our sister stabe, FCM, Cynical was the result of the genius crossing of Century and Fly Hg Silver. Both sire and dam are legendary in their own right, but despte this, Cyn sn't expected to live up to much. He's a handsoms colt, with lineage to die for, but like Axel Rhose, Cyn never stood out on th track. Cyn thinks everyone is out to get him. It took almost a month before we could get him from a round pen into an actual stall, and a half year before we even attempted to put a rider on him, even though he was broken before he came. Cyn does not like many people, so his fear has also led him to become a bit ill-tempered. He's not yet to the point where he acts out of aggression, but he knows how to throw you. Cynical was blessed with speed, probably from chasing his dam around her paddock when he was a foal, and he's one of our top sprinters, even going stride for stride with Augusta. Cynical has gotten a lot better, and has calmed down quite a lot. If you take it slow with him, he doesn't shy or lash out. He's even become attached to a few of the barn cats, and they curl up with him at night to keep warm. Cyn has recently suffered a fracture in his right fore cannon bone in the Wire Finish Cup Sprint, and has been retired from the injury. Though he will never race again, he can still gallop, but not at high speeds.
