"Rose" is a tough ol' bird and as her coat fades, her potential only seems to be growing. Every time she routes the circuit at The Wire for her morning work, her trainer is left smiling. It's like whittling wood, every little sliver may seem small but it only brings the project closer and closer to the masterpiece it was meant to be. For GCT, Rose may just be that once in a lifetime filly it has been waiting for. She's high strung and a little hardheaded, likes to pull her rider around the track and refuses to let her workout partner stick even a nostril in front. Seems to have the makings of a front runner and her stamina has been rated for up to a mile and a quarter. As both her sire and dam were dirt horses, Rose has not been tested on the grass and seems to like deeper, softer going. She's very obedient, speeding up when pushed and slowing up when pulled, she doesn't like to open up daylight when leading the pack and usually settles to run half a length in front until called on for more to burn her reserves in the stretch. Usual tack; rubber jointed Dexter ring bit, shadow roll, hood with French cup blinkers.
