Personality: She's here, the filly of a lifetime and there will perhaps no others to rival her classic looks and lineage. The daughter of excellent race mare Faith In Shadows, Nora will have a lot to live up to being GS Ultimate Challenge's daughter. Never will be there be a filly with this much talent and promise. She is incredibly sweet just like her dam with her sire's gentleness. Already at this young age you can tell she has the good straight leg that will help her in the jumping rings. She's very flashy and boy does she know it showing off for the colts. Her strides are the smoothest I have ever seen. Her ability to run on any type of ground comes from Faith In Shadows as Faith ran on many different types of ground in races. Sister to GM Imperial and Silver Tide, this girl is not something to pass as another horse. A great filly with a wonderful personality Nora will become an amazing racer and later on eventer with the blood of Fly High Silver, Smiles Boo, Determination, and Stormwing in her blood.

Dirt: Great
Turf: Great
Distance: 8-12 Furlongs (1 Furlong Extension)
Leg Type: Versatile
Racing Comments: Nora has a habit of being awfully very quiet in the gate. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if she is awake. But, once the bell rings Nora is off into the front line but, as the first start of the race she will begin to stalk the leader of the pack. She will hold through all the way throughout the race staying among her stalking target. While stalking she is all over the place tending to make others nervous until the last furlong where she will take off within a heartbeat proving her blood worthy not backing down from the races ahead of her.
