the information
Personality
In the yard, Jackie is known to be a bit of handful. Bright and energetic, she loves to be outdoors, and to feel free. She is always on the move, and does not cope well with being penned up for long periods of time. Jackie is one of those horses that will barge through the door as soon as it's open and then play a game of catch me if you can with her handlers.
Jackie isn't happy unless she is the best at every game she plays, and to her racing is a game. She enjoys running, she enjoys being put against the other horses, and she is highly competitive due to her desire to win. She will put her all into every race but is currently a little immature and hasn't really recognised the serious side of racing.
The fact is that Jackie has a good head on her shoulders. She is creative, and she learns fast. Her desire to always improve has led to her being able to analyse situations and she realises that every player has their part and this includes in races.

Racing style Closer
Before a race, Jackie tends to be quite excitable. She will practically prance beside her handlers and her ears flick to every sound. She isn't afraid of the atmosphere at the track, in fact she loves it. During the pre-race parades she will be full of life and although she might have moments where she pulls away from the handlers she seems to know that there is a race coming.
if there is one thing about racing Jackie doesn't like, it's the starting gate. It freaks her out, the idea of being in such a small space where she can't move does not sit well with her and she will make a real song and dance about being put into the box. Even once she is in, and the shutters are closed, she doesn't settle and her starts tend to be quite slow because of this.
The fact she starts at the back of the group, however, does not phase the filly. In fact, she would rather be at the back of the group. Having dirt being kicked into her face doesn't phase her and she is able to reserve her energy. She listens well to her jockey, and can be quite responsive. All in all, she just enjoys the game for the most part. It isn't really until later on in the race that her competitive nature shows through.
She will start to rally when her jockey instructs her to, usually around four to five furlongs from the end of the race, in order to close the gap between her and the front runners. Although she does not gain great deals of speed she is usually up with the bulk of the pack when they start their moves in the stretch. Here, the stamina that she saved up earlier in the race comes into play as she makes a great burst of speed. This powerful filly will usually make her move from the outside of the group and move quickly down the stretch. Her highly competitive nature, as well as her love of the game she finds in racing, power her on and she will fight in every last stride until she passes the post.
