Like A Lioness
"Lila"

#1502 Y13 3yo 16.2hh Filly

---

Lila is the lionhearted filly everyone wishes they had. She holds herself in high esteem and has a strong will to win, meaning she runs as fast as she can until she can't run anymore. She's feisty, and seems to be a bit of a feminist seeing as she completely detests the male species. On the track Lila will even work harder to beat the colts, but this is barely noticeable as she has a competitive nature and will try to beat every horse she faces. Off the track Lila can be a little tough to handle, but she's not aggressive at all - just forward moving and eager to get everywhere as quickly as possible.

Race Record: 13-4-5-4 (Grade Four)
Preferences: 7-10 Furlongs, Dirt / Stalker


Just like a lion, Lila stalks the leaders. She breaks quickly and takes position behind at least one other horse, and not more than four. After the halfway mark passes Lila likes to pressure the leaders for more speed, just like a huntress chasing her prey. In the final furlongs she goes for the gaps and turns on the speed handed down from her sire - Cheetah speed - and sprints for the finish.
