Personality
Addie is a very aggressive filly, on and off the track. She's bucked off anyone who's graced her back. She's arrogant, self-centered, and bossy. But there is a reason we keep her around; she's incredibly sly and surprisingly, she's incredibly smart. Addie knows just when to annoy her working partner, when to back off, and in what way will annoy him most. She's the only full sibling to Triple Crown winner Admiral's Revenge, at the moment. She's inherited her sire's foul temper, but thankfully, her conformation from her dam and speed make up for anything she does. Addie must be the center of attention, so she acts up quite a bit; any attention is good attention.
Addie is usually the pace-setter for a few furlongs before being pulled in by her jockey to settle in a stalking position. If she gets in the gates, that is. Normally halfway around the final turn, Addie begins to get impatient and will ineviatbly start creeping up on the leaders. A quarter down the final stretch, she's finally given her head and gallops into the lead.
History
In early 2005, when Augusta was impregnated by War Admiral, both IGS and RS were pleasantly surprised to find that she was carrying twins. Almost immediately, Imperial Glory Studs proposed a deal; in trade for one of the twins, Rockstar could have a breeding to any stallion or mare of our choosing. We set to work, thinking of possible pairings, but only one cross stood out among the rest; War Admiral with Rosalind. We already had a War Admiral breeding in reserve, and IGS warily gave us permission to breed the two together. But they had a right to be reluctant. The oal would be a full sibling to Triple Crown winner Admira's Revenge. Recently, "Reve" had been forgotten among the elite, and IGS already had plans to cross the Admiral and Rosalind to bring the focus back to the stunning bay. So, the task was given to Rockstar, and we eagerly awaited the foal's arrival as Rosalind moved steadily toward her due date. In February 2006, our long wait was over. Rosalind birthed a healthy and lively little filly. The name Admirable had already been picked prior to her birth, and Addie was intent on being the complete opposite.
Addie was reclaimed when Soliel went on hiatus. She now resides at Intrepeid Racing, Inc.
