Personality
Ice, Seeking Stardom, is a very interesting filly. Usually she prefers to stand on her own and pretty much tolerates any horse she is turned out with. When she's bored, she's about as warm as ice to anyone who's nearby, but get her on a good day or show her her racing gear and her cold and distant personality simply melts. On the track, it's hard to believe that she'd much rather roll in her own paddock away from all interaction, because she has such a sense of extreme focus about the job at hand, racing. She knows her job and does it well, and she has the stamina to go the distance and close in the finish. IGS has come to love her duality and gives her a fresh bath (another favorite) and free reign in her own private paddock after each race. She is the very last Regency daughter and descends from the SS lines stallion, Spotted By a Star, so needless to say she carries her head high and temperamental mood swings aren't totally out of character for this quirky filly. Regency's sire is none other than San Diego Starr who is also a Twilight's Stakes Winner, so you can see that Ice has rare and royal blood racing through her veins.
On the race track, you can see the life dancing in her eyes and feel it in her motion. She is like fluid moving on the track, Ice has the look of royalty and she races with a cool fiery spirit. A rare trait that she possesses is the ability to run either right behind the leaders or close from the back, regardless Ice likes to take a observe from behind approach to sweep by in the final furlongs for the win. She gets a sick thrill waiting to the last final furlongs to suddenly burst forward like a freight train. She gives her jockey a sick twist in their gut with her last minute style, but she never looses her cool and loves the thrill. She is definitely the filly to give her audience the show of a lifetime.
