FLIGHT OF THE VICTOR X FANCY INTUITION |
Personality: The last foal out of the breeding hall of fame mare, Flight of Fancy, definitely turned out to be quite the looker. With nothing but proven and G1 winning siblings, Rhea has a legacy to live up to and quite the shoes to fill - which she fully intends to. The grey filly is loud and outspoken, demanding respect. She isn't mean by any means, but she is not easily controlled or manipulated. She stands her ground and she will happily steamroll over whoever she pleases if they lack a firm hand. She is a confident filly and therefore she excels with confident riders and hands. When paired correctly, she can put out the most breathtaking of performances. Rhea is the queen of speed and has the muscle and stamina to deliver in a race. She excels at long distance and is a sight to behold in the post parade. She's definitely a big crowd favorite based on her appearance alone, as she is always the first to display just how much of a powerhouse she is out on the track. She likes to show off and definitely knows how to win over a crowd at the end of the day.
RACE INFORMATIONGrade 2
9-12 furlongs Turf [Great] Dirt [Great] Race Results: 47 | 11-15-11 | 80% Running Style: Front Runner Rhea loads fairly well into the gates and will stand patiently for the gate to open. However, as soon as she is freed she soars to the front of the pack to snatch the lead. She is comfortable in the lead and rates herself extremely well. She can bit hardheaded when it comes to other horses and refuses to be forced off her pace easily. She knows how to control the race and is cunning enough to use the field to her advantage. She leaves the right amount in the tank to take on all challengers to the finish. |
