the information
Personality
So far the pairings with Touch Up and relatively any mare are turning into a success. The foals that come into the world are energetic with a clever nature. Winning Touch is no different from any of the other foals except she is a bit more cautious. Her nature is completely unlike her dam's. While Strike the Win possesses a calm and collected disposition, Winnie is a bit of a minx, meaning playful and a little bothersome. She isn't mean and violent like her sire, just very curious about the world around her. Winnie possesses a very honest look in her eyes when she is gazing at her grooms. She has taken a strong interest in watching the trainers work with the older horses. As she is still young, the filly certainly possesses that quick wit any kid would have. She brings plenty of life to the barn with her playful calls. Winnie has shown she has the ability to learn. Winnie used to have a huge hatrid of the gate, but with bit’s of training, she has managed to overcome that fear, though it’s naturally easier to be handled by her jockey, no one else. Winnie now has a Year 13 born full brother owned by Debar Racing, Strike It Rich.
History
Battle Brook went out of business and Akita Rose sold the filly to In Stride Racing. She went on lease to Witch Creek, but she's back at In Stride now.

Honors TW Y12 February Horse of the Month. 1st in Y12 Autumn Cup Grade Three Dirt. 2nd in Y11 Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. 2nd in Y12 Alabama Stakes, 2nd in Y12 Kentucky Oaks. 3rd in Y12 Coaching Club American Oaks and 3rd in Y12 Acorn Stakes.
Workouts
Racing style Stalker
Winnie will break from the gate quickly, but drop back to just behind the leaders, settling in around third or fourth, depending on the amount of horses in the race. If she is the only horse that likes to race at the front, she will happily take the lead but only by a length or two and she won’t set a furious pace. She can travel with just about all paces. She can race quickly, or slowly, depending on the ground. If it’s sloppy, she prefers to go slightly slower than if it’s dry and fast.
