Dare to Impress

Dare To Impress

Horse Information
Registered Number: 1276
Nickname: Imp
Age: Three (Y11)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Black
Height: 16.1 hands
Gender: Filly
Personality: Imp is a lively filly who has passion to burn and a constant desire to be in the spotlight. She is a spirited little filly whether it be when she is being led to and from the paddock or when she is out on the practice track. She has a lot of energy, and shows it by picking fights with the other fillies in the paddock. She’s always creating a cheeky stir in the field by winding the others up. Whether it be by nipping the others and then running off or just running fakes at them, turning at the last second. There is always a buzz around this filly. Imp has a great presence, the air of a winner. Whether it is her champion bloodlines, the expectations she was born with, her lovable personality, or something special which she possesses herself, it is unknown what, but there is definitely something about her. She likes to show off, as if she knows she’s special. She prances down the track with grace, but runs with meaning and purpose. She is a lovable filly, she is never nasty or sorry, she is just always excited and ready to go. She is sweet and kind, though sometimes she doesn't realize her size and gets on top of people and throws her lanky legs around. Imp is easily bored and always likes something to do or she will start kicking at her door and creating a racket. She doesn't handle being indoors at all, really, unless there's food in front of her. She has uncountable items and toys in her stall to distract her, from salt licks to treat balls, but they don't do much for her. The only time she stands still is when she is being groomed. It seems to calm her before the race, and it becomes a time for everyone to get focused.

Racing Information
Grade: Four
Prospect Record: 6-2-2-0
Race Record: 10-4-3-1
Consistency: 80%
Dirt: Good
Turf: Great
Distance: 9-12
Leg Type: Midpack
Racing Style: Imp breaks out of the gate and settles mid pack. She likes to run within the main group for the first stages of the race. She gradually targets each horse in front of her and picks them off one at a time just before the final turn. She continue to accelerate around the final turn even if it takes her wide, though it doesn't seem to bother her - this fantastic filly just keeps on coming, reaching the leaders in the final furlong. From there she digs in even harder, rallying and charging, only getting more competitive if someone tries to beat her out. Adversity only makes this filly kick in harder, and it's not surprising to see her come out in front.
