General Information
"Allie" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Y19 Born Gray (Bay) 15.3hh |
If you were asked to define the word vain, Astraea would be the first thing that pops into the minds of the staff. Named after the Goddess Astraea, this filly is certainly a deity in her own. Allie knows she's the most beautiful horse on the property, even from a very young age when her coat wasn't showing signs of greying. When this horse moves, she holds herself high and mighty and never looks down on anyone or anything. Much like the deity, Allie is a pretty innocent horse. She never puts a foot wrong and is the best student an owner or trainer could ask for. She keeps her stall as clean as possible; we have never caught her trying to dump her grain or throw hay around for shits and gigs. Allie always has a positive energy around her no matter where life takes her; she attracts all kinds of wildlife around the farm, especially when she's turned out for longer days in the summer. They all seem to flock around her paddock while she munches away on grass, not caring that they're around so long as they don't try to interrupt her mid-day siesta. When it's time to go to work, Allie always performs with a positive attitude and makes sure she shows off for the crowd whenever possible.

RACING INFORMATIONAllie runs like no other horse we've seen in a while, and sometimes it gives us a heart attack. She's not a big horse by any means, but she uses that to her advantage. Astraea is a relatively calm horse on the track and always needs to be the first one prepped and warmed up for her race, well before anyone else. The first time we saw her really go for the first time, it blew us away. There is no other definition for her running style other than 'hybrid'. Allie uses the three running styles all in one race, hence why it gives us a heart attack. When she breaks from the gates, she's seeking the front and staying there, for now. Allie tends to stay at the front until at least the first furlong or two, until she slows herself down just enough that the challenging horses beside her can slide past. Allie plays mental games with her opponents, giving them the hope of her dropping out of the race because she's "losing steam". When Allie drops slightly to the back, it seems a little bit redundant that she loses ground and ends up closer to the tail end of the middle runners. With an unsuspecting burst of violent energy, something that we haven't quite figured out the mechanics for, Allie unleashes her power and lets her legs unfurl. Her jockey really doesn't need to do much other than keep her straight and give her constant encouragement to give more, which she gladly does.
