Chestnut mare 2001
by Swing Time Band - Promising Princess, by Dark Shadows

Quite the amazon, this mare is a rough player on the track and will use her formidable size to intimidate her competition -- and sometimes, she'll even bump them out of the way! CCF jockey Danny Gallagher calls controlling this mare on the track one of the greatest challenges he ever faced as a rider.

    G.O.T. REPORT

    Gets caught napping at the starting line.
    Well, her running gait seems about right.
    Nice speed burst when you ask for it! A darn good sign.
    Nice filly- has some stamina to spare. Should go the distance for you.
    Not the most consistent. Has quite a few off-days.
    Train this one for steeplechase immediately! Just loves the hurdles!
    Seems to run like a sprinter, though I'm not completely sure.
    Seems to run competitively enough. Can't be sure yet though.
