Impressionable
16hh 7yo Chestnut Thoroughbred Mare
Dirt: Great Turf: Good Distance: 9-12 Furlongs
Empress acts like a princess, twenty four seven. Whether it's strutting about or showing off her flashy gaits, this filly is nicknamed Empress for a reason. She's absolutely regal. A glance at her well muscled frame and you get the impression she's of nobility. Empress is an arrogant showoff who doesn't care if the eyes are on her twenty-four seven; it's all the same to her. But some attention is always appreciated! She carries herself proudly, with a surefire confidence that's sure to win your heart over. She's beautiful to look at and knows it too. She's built like a classic dirt filly, all legs and heart and chest. Empress is usually just an arrogant showoff who doesn't care if the eyes are on her or not - it's all the same to her. Even if she knows you, Empress remains cold and distant, though she is more likely to work with you than anybody else. Empress holds herself in high esteem and unless she holds you, too, in high esteem she's unlikely to like you. She has a streak of ambitiousness about her and doesn't like to be second-best. No, for Empress the one thing she loves is the royal treatment in the winners' circle, where she is acknowledged as the champion she already feels she is. There, she's all detached coldness, but secretly reveling in the feeling of glory winning brings to her.
Leg Type: Stalker
Empress is cold out there on the track. She draws herself up even more regally and every movement that is not fast is a drawn-out strut. She treats herself as though she's above it all and lets every person out there watching know it. From the post parade to loading, she's got all eyes on her due to her cool-as-a-cucumber attitude. From the moment Empress breaks, she adopts a position just behind the leaders. She likes to be near her competition. Being too far off is bad for her. Empress's favorite strategy is to press the leaders into faster and faster paces. She's an effective presser and knows just what buttons to push and moves to make to get what she wants to happen happening. As time passes during a race she just keeps pushing and pushing, trying to get her competition to crack, before sweeping forward in a bold move to make her own bid fort he win. Her jockey is allowed to sit on for the ride because rider or not Empress is out for glory and the win.
