General Information
"Passion" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Y18 Born Bay 15.3hh |
Sweet Passion is as sweet as her name suggests. With a kind eye and a gentle soul, this filly is probably one of the easiest going gals that we've had the pleasure of training. Passion is not one to get into fights or pick on others, but rather welcomes both humans and horses into her circle of affection. Passion has a natural motherly instinct, even at such a young age, and makes herself available to nurture those who need it. One thing she doesn't do is say no - everything she is asked of is done without a fuss, almost as if she says "Okay! I got this and I trust you!" Passion is also quite the comedian when she wants attention or food, often flipping her lip up and "smiling". Her favourite rewards are peaches and apples, always begging for more by flapping her tongue around making funny faces, which never fails to put a smile on the staff's faces. Under saddle, Passion is probably one of the easiest rides on the property. She's not a dirty horse by nature, only acting up when extremely excited or when it gets cold out (which is not very often), but never does anything more than a few crow-hops while throwing in a spin or two. She takes to her job like butter and enjoys every minute of flexing her muscles on the track.

Racing InformationBettors often overlook Passion because of her height, many not expecting her to move the way she does which is what makes Passion a sneaky little bugger on the track. The way she covers ground is incredible and something not everyone sees every day. Her breaks are clean, albeit not always fast, but 9/10 times Passion always sticks the landing. She's not a horse that likes to be in the front, and definitely not the type of horse that likes to be in the back. Passion likes the "company" of other horses and will often pick one or two that she sticks to like glue while she calculates her next move. Once you figure out her buttons, Passion is a very autopilot kind of ride. The jockey only has one job - find a hole in the crowd and let the tigress pounce on her prey. Passion will easily kick into third gear, her little legs moving a thousand kilometers a minute while she opens up her stride in the final stretch, bounding for home against the unsuspecting victims.
