Birth name: Flea
Profile: More of a "hopper" than a sprinter, Chicken has historically excelled in the high jump. This means though that he has tremendous natural strength in his hind quarters. His results last season demonstrate that he has been able to harness this power and employ it effectively in his acceleration. Some people however, attribute this to his change in diet which now features the flavoursome curried kibble, kidney of duck and ostrich heart.
Race chances: Not one to be discounted in the right field, especially if up against Egg having finished before him the last 4 times they have raced head to head.
