PERSONALITY
Star has about as good a disposition as one could ask for in a racehorse. She's smart and willing when worked with, and never lashes out against her handlers. She enjoys the comfortable company of other horses, enjoying being with the herd but not fighting for leadership. She doesn't rise to a fight on the ground - if another horse confronts her, she just leaves the area. If that's not possible, she just submits, and it doesn't become an issue. This doesn't mean she's a totally submissive animal, though - while she's not confrontational, she is competitive, and someone encouraging her only brings it out more. She gets attached to humans and other horses very easily, and has some trouble with change. She gets upset when, for example, her stall is changed or she or another horse leaves the farm. For this reason, she's taken to the track a few days before she needs to run, because she's invariably a headcase for a day or so until she settles in. Having someone nearby that she trusts helps. Clarimonde spends a lot of time just sitting and reading outside of her stall after she's stalled at the track, and it calms her immensely. She's the sort that really is easy to love, and her flashy appearance draws attention when she's out on the track. She doesn't mind people touching her, even if she doesn't know them, so she's good for meetings with the public. When she's being worked, Star just adds a mode of excitement, but all other things still hold true. She's so willing and driven that she's definitely got big things ahead of here.
LEG TYPE: MID-PACK
Star likes to run amongst the other horses, as she's most comfortable in a group. Getting dirt in her face doesn't seem to bother her at all. She is not quick out of the gate so she usually settles towards the back and slowly moves up as the race goes on. She saves most of her energy for the final stretch, kicking in when her jockey asks and driving toward the leaders. This is when she lets her competitive drive kick in, once she starts picking off the horses in front of her. Once she starts her drive, it's hard to stop her, because she won't let off the gas until her jockey implicitly makes her. She seems to like winning by lengths more than inches.
