Registered Name: Tears Of An Angel

Breed: Thoroughbred

Height: 15.2hh
Gender: Mare
Personality: Lucy is a very willing individual. She has a heart of solid gold and wouldn't harm a fly, unlike her aggressive mother. She is a blunt but very straight forward risk-taker, who will plunge into any task her jockey asks her. Lucy is the kind of horse that will try anything new, she will respond to everything and anything with quick, effective decisions. Her intelligence gets her quite far on the track. She is very responsive and quick-witted - in most cases she can't take no for an answer. She has a habit of rubbing her bridle on any near by post, which can often mean spending countless dollars on a new bridle. On the track, Lucy is focused, stern, and stays that all the way through the race. She likes to break fast and relax behind the leaders. She doesn't have the dominant vibe of a traditional front runner, so if she does end up going for the lead, she would either go too fast, or go too slow, which is why she likes to relax behind the front runners. She isn't the traditional mare, she won't launch for you, or get all 'overprotective' like her mother was, she will relax, and go with the flow.
Pedigree: Cryin' Out Loud X Blood Of The Angel
Pedigree Comments: Cryin' Out Loud is an impressive stallion, having reached Grade One status on the track before retiring within seventeen wins. As a sire, Cryin' Out Loud has a number of foals the same age as Lucy including the impressive Sophie's Voice. Blood Of The Angel was unraced due to a fracture and so went straight to brood at the age of four. As such, there is little to be said about her. She has a twin brother, Tears Of Blood, owned by Silver Stride Stables.

Leg Type: Preceder
Racing Comments: Lucy is a stalker. She likes to stalk the leader, stay at her pace and leapt at the home stretch. She likes to build momentum, and tends to gain a lot of potential from staying at her pace and letting the front runners run on. Lucy is very easy to gate, and very quick to get away from the gate. She likes to position herself a couple of lengths behind the front runner. She doesn't have the dominant vibe of her father to set the pace of the race as she'd move too quickly or too slowly. Lucy is over responsive so uses the leaders to shadow the pace.
