Personality: Know the saying that ginger's have no soul? Well Sophie is pure proof of that. The textbook definition of a "chestnut mare," Sophie has a flaming temper and she is not afraid to show it. Her uniquely striking looks are definitely not the only thing that draws people's attention to her. Whether attacking the nearest horse or flipping over on her jockey, Sophie is an eye catching devil in red. Not a lady in any respect of the word, Sophie is as savage as they come and usually acts like a colt. The tom boy of the barn, always getting into trouble and snatching anything she can get her teeth into - including her handlers. With such a massive frame, if she wants to do something badly enough its usually pretty hard to keep her from doing it. She is bossy, brutish, and always gets her way. One of her most prominent traits however is her absolute hatred of colts - and hate is most definitely not a strong enough word. Sophie would literally pulverize them in an instant if she was given the chance. She will literally run her heart out if it means she gets the opportunity to embarrass the opposite sex on the track. Some may think her nutcase demeanor is a sign that she's got one too many screws loose, however that's not exactly the case. Sophie is actually extremely intelligent, she knows just how to get her way and she knows just how to play the field on the track in order to come out on top. Competitive as they come, Sophie is determined to do anything to come out on top.
Grade 5
7-10 furlongs Turf [Good] Dirt [Great] Race Results: 2 | 1-1-0 | 100% Running Style: Closer Extremely hard to control in her morning workouts, Sophie is a completely different animal on race day. While an unpredictable fireball in the saddling paddock, her game face come on as soon as the girth tightens. She loads into the gates easily, her mind completely tuned into the task at hand. Impossibly hard to miss on the track, it's easy to see the red devil drop immediately drop to the back of the pack when the gates open. Sophie immediately settles well and enjoys bringing up the rear of the pack where she can get the best view of her competition. She eyes up her competition and bides her time until the final turn where she will begin to speed up, moving up the ranks with a ferocious hunger. Suddenly, she'll be up at the front and taking the lead as they drive into the final stretch. Driving all the way to the finish, she is intelligent enough to push for the wire with little to no urging, in fact she tends to perform better when she isn't pushed by her jockey. She likes to do things on her own terms, and that includes getting to the winner's circle by her own accord. WORKOUTS
