ARMADAYOB: Y17
Gender: Filly Color: Black Height: 17hh SPANISH ARRAY (CR) X WARALLY (CR)Personality: This gorgeous jet black filly definitely has the looks and class to turn into something special. Alexandria decided to purchase the young filly due to her intelligent eye and regal aura about her. In an atmosphere where a young horse should have been frisky and skittish, Armada stood unmoved, carefully observing the sights and sounds of the auction ring. However, the black filly's unusually calm and collected demeanor was not the only thing that drew Alexandria to her. The beautifully elegant filly absolutely towered over all of the other two year olds. Her stride was larger and therefore longer than all of the others. While that extra height may have meant she was going to take a bit longer to mature, Alexandria knew it was going to be hard to catch a horse with a stride like that once she finally came into her own. When she was brought home to Winchester Racing, she further impressed Alexandria with her impeccable manners and extremely sweet demeanor in the barn. Her calm aura has proved to transfer to the track in her workouts, but in a more serious manner. She has an intensity on the track and in her morning workouts that shows that she will be all business when it comes down to the wire.

RACE INFORMATIONGrade 3
9-12 furlongs Turf [Great] Dirt [Okay] Race Results: 26 | 7-8-3 | 78% Running Style: Mid-Pack Armada breaks at a comfortable pace and settles mid-pack where she prefers to run among horses. Depending on the pace of her competition, she may move up in placings throughout the entirety of the race. However, she will always save her top speed and energy for the homestretch, not passing other horses if the pace is too hot. She is definitely built for long distance and if ridden correctly, can preserve quite a bit of energy for the final bid down the homestretch. As they enter the stretch, her jockey will give her the queue - with her long sweeping strides, she makes it almost look too easy as she strolls past her competition. WORKOUTS
