Aphrodite's Chant

Aphrodite's Chant

Horse Information
Registered Number: 1436
Nickname: Chance
Age: Yearling (Y13)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Rose Grey
Height: 16 hands
Gender: Filly
Personality: Out of all of the first Positively Precious yearlings, this filly has the most sane mindset and quite frankly that's still not too good. Aphrodite's Chant is a little princess and is quite a vindictive minx when pushed to her limit. She is jealous of all females, even humans. She never rests on her laurels and always attempts to nip or kick whenever either horse or human are around. She has a gentle eye up until that point and is quite nice to work with in the stall and cross ties. Chance is a little dervish out on the lead line or whenever she happens to be moving with a human attached in some way, shape or form. She never sits still and is always prancing or strutting about. She'll toss her head and mouth the bit eager to please and kick some butt. Chance loves the post parade for the attention and goes absolutely ballistic if an outrider is not beside her in the post parade. She loves the crowd, but the outrider's horse is a type of security blanket for the neurotic filly. She is quite nervy, constantly shakes and skitters about and it covers up her true gentle self. She squeals, neighs and whinnies and works the other horses in a race up into a frenzy. For some reason it does not quite damage Chance's overall racing performance. The rose grey filly has been known to get quite washed out during the post parade, but she runs to her 100% effort every single race she steps foot in.

As a young horse, Chance has just arrived at Valkyrie. She's feeling a little strange in her new environment, seeming to want other foals to pick on - however, she's doing well interacting with the humans. Well in that she interacts with them at all, even if it's sometimes in a negative way. She's grown especially attached to Tigrs, and because of that gets jealous when the girls are around him.

Pedigree: Positively Precious x Enchantress
Pedigree Comments: Chance is a first-time foal for both her sire and dam. Positively Precious is a stallion that reached grade four status on the track, with five wins in thirty-one starts. His biggest wins came in the Autumn and Hair Strengthener Cup in his three-year-old season. Chance is one of three foals born in his premiere season at stud, the others being Ares and Artemis' Glory.

Enchantress did little on the track, though she did break her maiden in the Seaspray Cup her three-year-old year. She was retired before her four-year-old season after it was discovered that she had some tendon damage.

Racing Information
Race Record: 0-0-0-0
Prospect Record: 3-0-1-0
Consistency: n/a
Dirt: Great
Turf: Good
Distance: 8-11
Leg Type: Mid-pack
Racing Style: She gates kindly and plays with the gate workers while standing in the gate. Sometimes it distracts her too much, but if she breaks a step slowly it is no matter. She is a true mid-pack runner and she is quite relaxed while in motion. She has a sweet gallop stride and she is always focused on the race at hand. She does not torment the other runners like Artemis. Her damage to the field is already done by her noisy parading before the race began. Chance is an agile filly and is quite ready for any road block that develops during the running of the race. She usually starts picking up the pace halfway up the backstretch. She is not dominating like Ares or Artemis' Glory. She is a gutsy grinder who always puts her heart on display during the running of the race. Her fan base can appreciate her every time because she never fails to show up.
