On the Button
Grade III stakes winner

Gray mare 2002
by Flander's Field - Highland Piper, by Highland Rogue

Well-muscled and beautifully conformed, On the Button is the picture of what a well-made Thoroughbred should be! She had a kind, gentle personality and can be trusted around children. On the Button became a grade III stakes winner at two but never recaptured that brilliant early form, retiring at the conclusion of her four-year-old season with four victories and $157,500.

    G.O.T. REPORT

    This filly breaks so fast that the jockey'll get whiplash!
    Well, her running gait seems about right.
    Errr... I hope you didn't pay too much for this horse.
    Appears to have plenty left after workouts. Looks good to me.
    Not the most consistent. Has quite a few off-days.
    This filly might show some improvement over jumps.
    This filly wants to get the lead early, from what I've seen.
    Has spunk. May have a competitive edge during real races.
