"Vera"
Y16 Chestnut Thoroughbred Filly 16.3 HH Earnings: $36,000 Lifetime HoTY Leased from Aurelia |
Vera takes after both her friendly sire and her sassy dam - making her a tricky one to deal with at the stables. It is impossible to predict what her next move will be, and she always has a new trick up her sleeve. Whether she's desperately begging for treats, or kicking out as her girth is tightened, it's very important for her handlers to keep their eyes open when around Vera. On her good days, she is a pleasure to be around, even with her mischievous attitude. She is eager to work and can be handled with no issues. However, when she gets upset, all Hell breaks loose. You know what they say about chestnut mares, so don't mess with this one.

Grade 5: 5-1-2-0
Prospect Record: 2-1-1-0 Surface/Distance: Dual, 7-12 Furlongs Leg Type: Stalker Jockey: Lillian Howe Vera only runs when she decides to run. Catch her on a bad day, and she won't budge. If she doesn't want to get in the gate, you're screwed. But when she's ready and motivated, she can overtake nearly any other horse. After a smooth and efficient break, Vera slides up to the front of the pack, fighting for a solid spot for herself before allowing herself to slip back just a bit. She hangs just behind the leaders for the majority of the race, taunting them and threatening to take their place. She has no problem if she's forced to be a front runner, as it was found in her workouts. Along the backstretch, Vera explodes, sprinting past the leaders and into first place.
