Personality
Reggie is a playful tomboy. Full of life and zest, she is the perfect combination of her sire and dam. There isn't a moment when she can't be seen playing games, exasperating her dam and play-mates or running like the wind in her pasture. Her mother had a hard time keeping up with her firstborn. There is literally nothing that this filly fears. She's bold, determined and passionate. Her naturally inquisitive and bold nature makes her the perfect race horse.
There isn't a horse alive that can intimidate this dark bay wonder. She holds her own when she gets into scrapes, her major downfall is not knowing her limits. If let unchecked, she could get herself into a world of trouble, not from being malicious, but just pushing herself into others business.
On the track, Reggie is a true thoroughbred. She puts quite the show on in the schooling ring, usually huffing and puffing at the competition. In the parade however, you can see her visibly calm down, eyes focused on the job at hand, which of course is winning. This is a filly that is full of drive and competition. Once loaded into the gate, she's more than ready to go and when those gates fly open she usually flies to 2nd or 3rd to pressure the leaders, but if it's two crowded there she's more than happy to run mid-pack. She likes the thrill of hustling bodies, dodging bodies and zipping through holes. She's quick and intelligent, so either position suits her well. When the final stretch comes, Reggie isn't afraid to throw her weight, slip through a hole or swing wide to challenge for the win. She thrives off of this thrill and with her, it's always an exciting race.
History and Pedigree Information
[X] Seattle Song is a retired Grade Five stallion, owned by Intrepid Racing. Sired by Seattle Slew and out of Sweet Melody, this bay half-brother to Hall of Fame mare, Sweet Stalker, was raced lightly, but has proven his worth, taking a second in the Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile. Originally owned by Akita Rose Stables, the bay stallion was sold to Intrepid to begin his career as a stud. Song currently has three foals on the ground. Mystical Melody (G1), Coco Cabana (P), and now Rigoletta's Song (P). Intrepid is excited about Song's stud career. His oldest foal is a proven Grade One and the two other prospect foals are showing great promise.
[X] Italian Lover is a retired Grade Five mare owned and bred by Intrepid. She is a well-bred mare, that had a mild show record, due to an unforeseen injury late in her juvenile year, but she never finished outside of the money. Solely raced on MHS, she isn't as well-known, but we are certain she will make an excellent brood. Rigoletta is her first foal and we are certain that she will be a credit to her dam's name. Sired by When in Rome and out of Valentine, Izzy descends from the likes of Twilight Stakes Winner, Spotted By a Star, War Child and dam of Grade One stallion Authur's Excaliber, Shooting Star, and Matabon's Man O'War. Izzy is pure goodness in a pedigree with proven talent. She's not just for looks and neither will her foals.
