Registered Name: Flashabelle
Nickname: Belle
Age: Two Years (Y7)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings:Black (see image)
Height: 15.3hh
Gender: Filly
Personality:

Belle is spunky like her sire, and sassy like her dam. She has very distinct likes and dislikes; she likes racing, hates the gate, likes people, but hates crowds. When she moves, its like she's just dancing, because it's effortless, graceful, and each of her paces just flow so easily. On the track, she's a little fireball. She dances on her toes in the gate, and is usually last out because of it. But it doesn't bother her, she is naturally a closer, and she takes a little while to get really going. She's not hard to handle; in fact, she very much detests mishbehaving, but when she gets excited, it can take a little while to get through to her.

Discipline/s: Flat racing
Pedigree: News Flash xDeabuelle
Pedigree Comments:

News Flash was a very versatile racehorse able to run from five to fifteen furlongs on both the turf and dirt. While he wasn't particularly successful, he did compete in a number of large races, and won both his first race, an unrandomized maiden series, and his last race, the Palm Tree Paradise Invitational, a *HOTY selection race. Belle's dam, Deabuelle, was unfortunately retired at age three due to a career ending injury. She was nonetheless a very spirited racehorse, who put her heart out in every race. As a daughter of Hall of Famer True Enough, who has produced many grade one dirt runners (Euphoria [also HOF], Lusitania and Radiance etc), we have reason to believe Flashabelle will also make the grade as a successful racehorse on the dirt.

Racing Style:

Belle is slow to break, which doesn't bother her at all because she is naturally a closer and likes to just chill at the back of the back until the homestretch. She takes her position in last to second last place, just cruising behind the rest until about three furlongs, when she begins to creep up on the leaders. The pack then usually spreads out on the final turn, and she takes her position right on the outside, the unseen threat. She has one heck of a drive, and powerfully closes in as the finish draws closer, using every last bit of energy she has until she's over the line.
