Registered Name: Summer Romance
Nickname: Ro
Age: 2 years
Gender: Filly
Registration Number: #1485
DOB: Y12
Color: Bay
Markings: White Star on forehead, one white stocking on right hind leg
Personality: Ro is a lot like her sire in conformation and stature. Where her dam, Ashanti, is lean and willowy, Summer Romance is built like a freight train. Her shoulders are made exactly like her sire's, tough and hard as iron. Even though she is young, Ro definitely looks a lot like the boys. She's a bit of a tom boy always purposely rushing the fence and racing the colts. Like her dam, Summer Romance is very high spirited. She needs a chain already and can be a bit of a bully to her human handlers. Ro seems to enjoy being a heartthrob and a flirt. She calls sweetly to the human males and to the stallions on the property. She's a boss everywhere she goes. With such a bossy and charming attitude, Summer Romance is bound to capture a few hearts on and off the track. Because of the filly's body type, we're sure that she will be able to handle the dirt particularly well, as well as the rough-and-tumble boys when the time comes. Her pedigree sure seems to emphasize dirt handling better than turf. Ro is a dynamite filly out on the track, in the paddock, post parade, race, gallop out, winner's circle... She has a brilliant mind and an attitude made for racing. Her eyes watch everything and she virtually demands that everyone take notice of her. She is more like Ashanti and her half-brother Ashes to Ashes in this way. She carries herself with arrogance and confidence and has the tendency to intimidate even the larger of the fillies and colts. A photographer's dream, Summer Romance will stand all day, posing for just the perfect shot. She loves to get out, stretching her legs and is more patient during the running of a race than Ashes was. She is more focused and takes advantage of her cruising stride without being over the top. She is made for the classic distances and seems to have a lot of potential.
Pedigree: By "DW Flamekissed", out of "Ashanti"

Racing Style: Ro is pretty patient and easygoing when it comes to the gates. She settles in while other horses are loaded, seeming not to really care about them or the confined space. When the gates open, she doesn't break the fastest, but she's generally not the slowest either - this puts her off the pace where she likes to settle pretty easily. She plows along like an immovable train, and even other horses bouncing into or off of her doesn't faze her or cause her to break stride for more than a second. She's pretty placid for most of the race - until she's asked to put on the back-burners. The filly doesn't need to be asked twice, and coming out of the far turn she's beginning to surge, powerful strides carrying her forward in a flashy manner. She runs with ease, and never seems to be trying especially hard, even when she clenches the victory in a show-stopping charge. After the race, she always looks like she's ready to go again - it's just the type of horse she is.
