How did I read the stars so wrong...
The Basics
Registered Name: Glory Bell
Registered Number: 1254
Nickname: Leo
Age: Three [Y11]
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Grey
Height: 16.0hh
Gender: Colt
Personality: Leo has definitely inherited his father's love of running, and never seems to be happy unless he is running. It is his one true love and he seems to have little interest in anything else. Grooming bores him, as does this whole bonding lark, and he has no intention of letting anyone get close to him. Due to his love of running he has to be watched closely in the paddock and not let out for too long as he will just run and run until you bring him in. It's almost as if an open space equals run in his mind. He never seems to run out of
energy, either. He can go all out in a race and still be practically bouncing as you take him back to the barn. It is almost as if he is showing off his youth and boundless energy. At the track he becomes much more sociable than at the
yard - probably because he knows that he is going to be running and that there will be competition. He will flaunt his good looks with a flawless gait and a love of the camera. However when he sees the other horses he becomes more focussed and less sociable again. After all, he hates to lose in any way and sees showing off and playfulness as a sign of weakness. But it is this competitive edge that really gives him something special, and no one can find fault in this. Leo doesn't misbehave very often, mainly because he sees it as a waste of time. It would be wasting energy he could be using doing more interesting and important things - like running - and he knows that the humans are just trying to help him be the best. As if he needs help, but he won't turn his nose up at it.
Pedigree: Bank On Glory x Flashabelle
Pedigree Comments: This colt has amazing lines, with Hall Of Fame Horses on both sides of his family tree. His sire, Bank On Glory, was a grade one dirt horse with some very impressive wins to his name including the Unicorn Horn Juvenile, the Unicorn Horn Mile, the Kentucky Derby, the Dubai World Cup and the Palm Tree Paradise Invitational. Glory Bell is one of Bank On Glory's first foals, being born in the stallion's first year at stud. Bank On Glory is the son of Armidale and HoF Bank On Silver - long esteemed as one of the most successful broodmares on GHF and mother of names such as HoF Euphoria and HoF Impressario. Flashabelle was not a very sucessful racehorse however comes from impressive lines. The daughter of Deabuelle, who unfortunately had to retire due to injury, and News Flash - a grade one stallion she certainly had potential. Her dam, Deabuelle, is the daughter of HoF True Enough and out of Palisades Silver, mother of Grade 1 Silver Stalker, her blood lines are full of talent. We have high hopes that Glory Bell will live up to his lines.

Leo is not sure of the gates and can act nervously around them. On a good day, he will conquer his fears but on a bad day gating him can be difficult as he will just plant his feet and refuse to budge. Once gated he will strike out a few times before realising the gate will not hurt him and settling down. When the gates open he breaks at a decent pace, though not as fast as some, and will place himself in second or third place, usually running slightly slower than the front runner. He likes to take the rail for the corners and will push forwards in these. Leo likes to push in the last corner and runs better than usual if he is leading as they come out of the last corner. He has a lot of speed for the straight which is matched to a high level of spirit and competitiveness. His will to win is huge and he will give the race his all.
