Personality: Chay is an absolute sweetheart and has a genuine love for people and horses alike. She is almost like a dog, in that if allowed, she will totally just follow you around, waiting for you to give her some form of affection. She was one of the easiest yearlings to train with a natural inclination to please and work hard. Not to mention, she is also extremely quick witted. She has an affinity for head scratches and baths and will race through her work, knowing she's going to be receiving both at the end of a long day. She works well with all the horses in her crop and is known for being a bit of the peacekeeper in a rowdy bunch of horses. All in all, Chay is a filly that works hard because she has the largest heart of them all. She's sweet and passionate, a great combination and something rare for a horse like her in the racing industry. There's no other way to put it, Chay is simply one of a kind.
RACE INFORMATION
Grade 3
7-10 furlongs Turf [Okay] Dirt [Great] Race Results: 38 | 7-11-9 | 71% Running Style: Mid Pack Chay usually handles race day with a calm, but eager demeanor. She handles pretty well and is alert and waiting for her next orders or instructions. Once saddled, she's on her toes and ready to go. She'll eye the competition a bit, but she never loses that calm, cool nature. She may be sweet, but that doesn't make her uncompetitive or a pushover. Once loaded into the gates, she's like a coiled spring ready to go. The gates open and usually she will rally behind the pack leaders and settle in on the outside. There she'll bide her time, saving her speed and stamina for the final battle and boy does she fly then. Her turn of foot towards the finish is breathtaking and astonishing as she charges for home, coming from the outside and making paths to bring home the win. WORKOUTS
