NMVIP GRADUATE
While she took a little longer to mature than some, Dela has a very level head and kind demeanor that makes her a pleasure to work with. She is a tall filly, with a deep chest and strong hip, with the highly muscled power of a sprinter. Off the track she's the first to meet you at the gate, always having a pleasant attitude as long as she's well-fed. Where some get sour over being groomed or fussed with, she seems perfectly content will being scratched on and loved. Indeed, she seems to enjoy it and seek it out. When it's time to work, she does tend to get excitable, but she's nowhere near as green as the juvenile horses. While she's late to the track, she's been schooled in the fuss and hubbub of race day paddocks and she's traveled to do morning works with the horses running. She's very been there, done that, and is hardly ever scared of anything. She'd be a calming influence on even the greenest of riders, and she's going to make a splash in the ranks very soon.

Racing style: Front-Runner/Preceder
Dela is comfortable enough early in a race that she can either lead or sit just behind the leaders very easily. She's got very good early speed, and settles easily ones the gates open. She rolls with momentum on the front, and doesn't need great acceleration to win a race. She has great stamina and sets her pace however she chooses, and kicks off toward the end for the wire. |
