Personality
Lil is one of the sweetest horses here at Intrepid Racing. Her parents were both even keeled, but this doesn't mean she doesn't have a spirit. She's intelligent and quick, with instant reflexes. She enjoys the company of people, but like her sire isn't a huge fan of treats, though she's not against an occasional carrot. Though sweet natured, Lil isn't a push over. (It's a must for horses here at Intrepid). Being turned out with the likes of Lissome and Calypso's Fury, she learned at a young age to assert herself. The trio of fillies have seemed to of formed a camaraderie and we jokingly call them the three musketeers. Being around the mischievous Lissome and the demanding Calypso's Fury, Lil had to learn quickly to stand her ground. This cultivated determination has become apart of the chestnut's nature and she doesn't do anything she doesn't want to. Lil is determined and fast. A deadly combination for a racehorse and she has no problems flaunting her skills. It always fun to watch the trio galloping in their paddocks and you can guarantee that at the start of their jaunts it's Lil leading the charge and when Lissome rallies to her it's a fierce show down and one that the staff of Intrepid enjoys watching unfold.
On the tracks Lil is hyper sensitively aware of the competition. If you want to see a spitfire, then come watch Lil on race day. She loves posing for the cameras and the attention, but don't be deceived, that's not all she's doing. Often times she'll push her competitors in the schooling yard to see how they'll react...as if she's testing the waters to see what she's up against and the competition's reactions only fuel her determined spirit. Loading in the gates isn't a problem for the filly, but if it takes too long she can get impatient. As soon as the gates fly open though, she off like a shot and though she could easily take the front, she seems to prefer the stalker position. She likes having something to focus on and challenge her, so really anywhere behind a horse is her element. In the final stretch though is where the filly really shines. After running behind her competition, her determination inflamed, she needs only the cue and she will swing past the horses like they're standing still with her eyes fixed on the prize and it is darn near impossible to catch this demon of the wind. Like her namesake, she likes to run unseen, but the evidence of her success is reflected in the winner's circle. Though you can't see the wind...no one question's its effects and its speed and power.
History and Pedigree Information
[X] Speed Demon is a retired Grade One GHF Hall of Fame Stallion owned by Akita Rose Stables. Speed Demon won the Boys Festival two years in a row, the Star Festival, the Starshine Sprint, two runnings of the Buttercup Sprint, the Unicorn Horn Sprint, the Flying Colours Memorial Stakes and the Breeder's Cup Sprint. He also throughout his career won Y5 Best 2 Year Old Colt Award,Y6 Encouragement Award, Y7 Best Sprinter Award and Y12 GHF January Top Sire Honors. A dual surfaced sprinter, Demon wowed the tracks back in his day and is now making a name for himself as a sire. Through her sire, Lilith Wind is half siblings with the likes of Popcorn Blitz (G5), two year old Speed Rush (G5) and Mastermind (G5), and prospect colt Demonic Desires (P). Lilith Wind is this HoF'ers first filly and we couldn't be more excited.
[X] Windbreaker is a retired Grade One sprinter mare from Star Thoroughbreds. She ran solely on the turf, but that didn't limit the chestnut mare. Sired by none other than the proven sprinter stallion Sweet Sugar Cane and out of the mare Heartbreaker, Windbreaker is purely lined sprinter mare. She was the winner of the Azalea Cup Fillies, the BC Juveniles Fillies Turf, the Girl's Festival and the Unicorn Horn Sprint. Lilith Wind is her first foal and we couldn't be more excited to see how she carries on the legacy of her sprinter lines. Through her dam, Lil is also distantly related to HoF'er mare Deadly Desires, Sugar Jayde (G3), Afterglow (G2) and younger prospect horses.
