Ummmm..... I want an aggressive race horse. Maybe you don't. I prefer mine to dig in when the tough gets going, not back down when challenged. When I say "aggressive" I am not implying the horse needs to savage the other horse. That's called a savage, not an aggressive race horse. And a horse that is interested in the other horses for other things than racing is usually called "studish" not aggressive.
