His name was Malicious, and you can look it up in the American Racing Manual: from ages 2 to 4, he won 5 of his 46 starts, had seven different owners, and never changed hands for more than $800.
His method of running was simple and to the point: he was usually last out of the gate, last on the backstretch, last around the far turn, and last at the finish wire. He didn't have a nickname back then, either. Exterminator may have been Old Bones, and Man o' War was Big Red, and of course Equipoise was the Chocolate Soldier, but Malicious was just plain Malicious. Turns out he was pretty well-named, after all.
