Personality
Mirage is such a sweet girl. She absolutely loves attention and will do anything to be in the spotlight. A real angel she would run herself in the ground to please her rider. Mirage is very spirited and loves to race. She comes alive on the racetrack. A lot like her sire Admiral's Revenge Mirage is very fast and isn't afraid to show it off. However unlike her sire Mirage loves to be around other horses and is incredibly sweet. We have big plans for this pretty gal. In her first start at the racetrack she finished a close second to Contessa, the classy Spartan and Augusta daughter.
After an year of intensive race training Mirage has come back up to racing shape and we hope to have an awesome final year with this girl. She got off to a slow start in racing but we expect she'll carry on the Admiral's Revenge lines with her own set of success. Mirage has lovely movements and is quite a pleasure to ride, everybody battles for the opportunity to ride her.
History and Pedigree Information
This mare was bred by Whitebrook and Intrepid and was a huge success. Intrepid found this mare in a pasture at Avalon with a foal at her side. We looked into the sire and found that the sire of her first foal was none other than AR Jury Duty - sire of Grade One Stallion Jazzman from ARS.
Her pedigree is interesting, but would be good for a starting stable to bring a touch of class with a tinge of uniqueness.
[X] Admiral's Revenge - Reve is Intrepid's own homebred stallion that achieved great acclaim and success. He's known for his fiery spirit and fierce determination on the track, given the nick name "the Iron Man" by his fellow competitors. He's stand-offish to everyone except his handler, Nick Landing. In his racing career, he was nearly perfect. Reve is a Twilight Stakes Competitor and has beaten out legendary horses like: Djerbas Comet, Canned Heat, Augusto (SS Legend, Twilight Stakes Winner), GS Gallant Prince (BC Winner, Twilight Stakes Winner), Valentino, Possible Star, No Two Snowflakes, Fly High Silver (SS Legend, Twilight Stakes Winner) and Xenophon (Preakness Winner and Barbaro Stakes Place). He's had multiple places in the Kentucky Derby, Belmont stakes and the Preakness Stakes, but Reve's ultimate achievement was winning the MHS Triple Crown. He went down in the books and to this day is the sole holder of this title. Reve retired with a record of 91-38-25-23 (94.50%). Now retired he currently has two recognized foals on the ground, retired G3 racer, Akuma Battlecry, owned by Star Thoroughbreds, who had to retire early due to an injury (83% consistency in placement) and Heartless Revenge, a current three year old colt owned by Akita Rose Stables that is racing on the GHF tracks. Needless to say, Reve is an impressive stallion.
[X] Summer Holiday is a mare that never broke her maiden, but comes from proven foreign lines. A fiesty mare Holly is difficult to handle even for the most experienced of handlers. A gorgeous looker she's loaded with racing talent and would rather race her heart than raise her foals and graze on Whitebrook's lush paddocks. Stubborn as a mule she'll do things when she feels like doing it. Holly comes from one of the most influential broodmares lines. Her dam Personal Ensign won the BC Distaff and Holly's half-sister My Flag won the Juvenile Filles and Storm Flag Flying, My Flag's daughter won the Juvenile Fillies as well. Her only foal is Admiral's Holiday.
