Dauntless
17.2hh 5yo Black Thoroughbred Mare
Dirt: Great Turf: Okay Distance: 5-10 Furlongs
Dauntless is a terrifying horse. At seventeen and a half hands high, out of a cold and terrifying mare herself, there is nothing about Dauntless that is not scary. She does not have the not-in-this-world attitude that Incognito does, nor the coldly domineering attitude of her half-sister Battle Wings; Dauntless just has that look in her eye like a horse about to explode. She is an incredibly powerful horse, quick as a snake, and she does not let herself be controlled by anybody. She is a bully to the other horses and tolerates humans for grooming, feeding and working out. Affection is not called for by this horse; strength is. Dauntless has a strength of will and a determination to get what she wants. Luckily, typically all she wants is solitude or a herd of horses that pander to her every whim. Dauntless appears to enjoy the power she exploits to control other horses, but beneath this power hides a stunning amount of intelligence. This filly just knows how to figure things out and was one of the quickest horse to break and train for James Greyson.
Leg Type: Closer
Dauntless is the horse that shows up on the track like a battleship leaving port and heading out to sea. She appears powerful and controlled at all times, even when she canters out her warm-up, jockey barely moving on her back. She gates like a pro and once those gates open she takes a spot right at the back. At first, it may be surprising to see her back there, given the easy power she commands, but throughout the race every member of the crowd waits for this filly to explode. The explosion doesn't happen until the final turn; then, Dauntless sets the track on fire. She goes from an easy lope to an all-out sprint in a fashion reminiscent of Infinite Warcry, but all too devastating given the sprinter-miler races she runs. Dauntless sweeps up the outside of the field and heads for that lead like her tail is on fire. She has a way of making her speed seem easy and her wins effortless that gets the crowd eager for more. This filly is easily one of the most powerful closers to ride, and her explosive kick is sure to leave others hard-trying to keep up.
