Precieux has the distinct honour of being one of the final Positively Precious foals to hit the track. She is likely the strongest looking animal to come from the chestnut creature with a stout frame and powerful muscles that are passed down from the Touch Up line. At times people mistake her for a male and her behaviour does nothing to help the situation. She is a strong willed filly, often challenging her handlers with outright misbehaviour. She doesn't kick, nor, does she bite, but Prey makes it clear that she isn't quite convinced the humans know what they're doing with a clear side-eyed look or snort. She can be hyper in the paddock and during morning training hours and must be escorted by a track pony if her hooves are to be kept on the ground before she begins her work. She is a naturally athletic being and doesn't require a lot of training to get into shape. She puts her heart and soul into running, stretching that gorgeous form out until it's nearly parallel with the ground. There is nothing arrogant about this pretty filly.
On the track in the afternoon, Prey zones in on her job and puts all her focus toward taking care of her body. She is surprisingly quite confident when submerged into the crowded environment of the track and keeps her cool unlike most of her cohorts. If she does prance or pull her handlers about, it's only because she cannot wait to get out into the open air of the track. She gates fairly well and breaks evenly, if not on top. Not one to run like her tail is on fire, Prey will often settle in fourth or fifth and seems to relish the kickback of the dirt. The filly loves a challenge and to her mind, chasing the front runners is all the challenge she needs. Her internal fractions tend to be quicker toward the end of the race, where she must call upon all her speed to run down the horses before her. She'll pin her ears back against her neck, wheel inside or outside of the fading front runners and turn on the afterburners. While she doesn't win by open lengths, Prey's late drive is relentless and her courage undeniable. If anyone is going to go with her or beat her, they need their very best game to do so. |
