Ghast, as she is known around the yard, is a quietly confident filly. She doesn't show off, she doesn't expend unnecessary energy, she just gets on with life. This filly isn't particularly phased by people, a lot of the time she just seems to look through them and she has never been known to lash out. She is the same way about other horses, a lot of the time. As long as they don't bump her she's relaxed around them. Keeping her and her sharp mind busy is the most challenging thing - she quickly tires if her routine becomes too sameish and will lose some of her bounce and so it is important to shake things up often. The one thing she has never tired of is the racetrack.

Racing style: Progressive Closer
This intelligent filly loves the track and can be a little excitable when it comes to loading. With a firm hand, however, she isn't too much trouble and enters the stalls with little trouble. She fidgets in the stalls, leading to a slow break but this suits her style of racing. We describe Ghast as a progressive closer. She starts out the race at the back of the pack, creeping up to the middle of the group as they reach the final turn before going wide and pressing forward. Her speed builds well, and while not explosive it doesn't take long for her to be at full tilt. She steams down the stretch tirelessly and just keeps giving. |
