Personality
† This girl is like on speed or something, she barely sits still for more than two seconds. The only time she's somewhat calm is when she's sleeping and even then some part of her is moving whether it be her ears or her tail. Rain looks more like her dam but definitely has that eye-popping closing speed from her sire. She is a very dominant filly and will often throw a huge princess tantrum if she can't get her way. When spectators come around to look at her she always has to give them a show. She loves to stand tall and prance around the paddocks as though she owns the place. History & Breeding
†We bought Rain as a yearling from Whitebrook Farm. We bought her because we were impressed with her bloodlines. Hopefully she'll race up to her potential. She had immediately settled in at our farm and started to boss the other yearlings around. She was not the only headstrong filly in the batch however and has gotten in many fights with our other headstrong filly named Mischief Maker. Eventually they had gotten in a big enough fight that Rain had been injured bad enough to be out of racing for a month. That made our decision to sell Mischief Maker. Ever since she had left the farm Rain has been our most dominant filly at Akita Rose Stables. Rain had been a great racehorse and had won many big races. As a four year old she had won big race such as the Seaspray Cup, Dubai Filly Cup and the Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile. She will now be retiring and trying her luck as a broodmare. |

† Rain is very competitive and loves to win her races. She has a big closing kick and her big thrill is putting all her energy into outdistancing her rivals on the track in the final stretch. If you try to stop her then she gets frustrated and fights you until you let her have her way. She is very energetic on the track and puts a lot of her energy into racing. She likes to run on dirt tracks most but will run on turf as well. Turf is not her favorite surface however and will not do that well on it. She does not mind a sloppy track once in awhile either. She is used to running with mud in her face since she usually comes from behind. |
