Personality
When one looks at a Rosalind foal, most have the temperament of a snake, but then looking the type of sires explains a lot too. So we decided to take a less serious tempered stallion and matched him with our mature Rosalind and what you get is Acantha. Acantha is a filly that has inherited her dam's seriousness, but also possessing the life of her sire, Like a Cheetah. Her sire's nature of being flighty and easily spooked was counteracted with Rosalind's confident and steady persona. When one approaches her, she will immediately focus her full attention on you, but makes no rash moves. Her eyes will quickly take everything in and process it her steel-trap of a mind. Her intimidating assessment can leave a person feeling that she is indifferent or a prick, as though she's too good to give you her time out of her day. When handled, it takes an expert hand to think ahead of this cunning gal, but she shows no ill-will or malicious intent to her handlers. On the track however, she can get edgy. In some sense, she is a loner and she definitely prefers it that way on the track. She is notorious for her lightning quick breaks (inherited from her sire) and it is all for the sense of getting rid of what she deems as unworthy competition. When running with the leaders, she has a cool, calm calculating aura about her. She isn't given to rash reactions, but deliberate action and usually isn't intimidated by the leaders and bides her time to deal a death blow finish (stamina that is a gift from her dam's side), eager to leave her company in her dust. If it comes down to a wire finish, she doesn't get frustrated, but will throw in her everything to do her best. With the staying power and speed from her breeding, she will probably make an excellent mile runner and a confident mid-distance runner.
Pedigree and History[/sub][/color]
Acantha's sire, Like a Cheetah is a dual surfaced G1 racer from Akita Rose Stables. Cheetah is a BC Sprint and Mile winner with an amazing range. He's known for his lightning quick breaks from the starting gates. He currently only has one other foal on the ground besides Acantha, Sweeto Cheeto, a Y8 black colt out of HOF Sweet Stalker.
Acantha's dam, Rosalind is a dual surfaced broodmare owned by Intrepid Racing. She didn't have much of a racing record due to an injury in her 3yo career. She is a proven producer, being the dam of Triple Crown Winner Admiral's Revenge (G1), Admirable (G2), Bucephlaus and Requiem (dam of HOF Deadly Desires, Nightshade, Carmilla, Seraphim and Canjun Moon). All of these amazing horses descend from her bloodlines and lots of them are BC and TC competitors.
