The Lazy King
by Lisa Harkema
He was the undisputed French emperor for several years, and only illness prevented him from winning an unprecedented five Prix d’Amerique-wins in a row. As tough off the track and he was on the track, Ourasi was a handful for those around him. He was more than a handful for his competitors, who simply couldn’t resist the complete package of strength , speed and an insane will to win. In one race the other competitors even colluded to prevent the chestnut from winning, but Ourasi won anyway.
