Registered Name: Santana's Moment
Nickname: Tana
Age: Three Years (Y7)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Bay (see image)
Height: 17.0hh
Gender: Filly
Personality:At the beginning of her two year old season, Tana was unsure what racing was about, despite her excellent times working by herself. She seemed to dawdle in races, leading to bad placings. Then, we taught her how to win. In a mock race on our home track, she suddenly got it. As if someone set fire to her tail, she was off up the track and in the lead in an instant. Now, she is a big ball of fire on the track. Always dancing and prancing when she's supposed to be walking, and always over reacting to each and every cue. She'll go right into gallop when you just ask her to walk if you're not careful. When faced with an opponent, Tana has this focus that can't be penetrated. You wave a hand in front of her eyes and she just sees right through it, her eyes only on her opponent or on the finish line. Off the track though, whether she's in the barn or on galloping on the beach, Tana is just a sweetie. She's quiet and responsive - a little too forward moving at times, but for the most part she's a pretty good ride.

Racing Style:Tana is very powerful and agile too, despite her vast size, but it takes a while for her to get going. She breaks slowly, and brings up the rear of the pack until she gets her feet under her, and then she veers wide on the final turn, unleashing some serious speed and a ground eating stride. She puts on a final burst of speed in the final 1-200m, doing all in her power to get her nose over the wire first..
