The lovely homebred filly “Rose” has been hanging on at a farm adjacent to Finger Lakes since her last race on 07/07/25, so this super-cute girl has already had some time to chill and begin to let-down. After four lifetime starts the conclusion is that she runs “slow, so slow that she could walk faster”. They say that she was always in the back of the pack and never really tried to race. As a result, her connections have decided to move her along. They’d love to see her happily well-placed as they say she is “socialized, beautiful, a really good girl, just not a runner”. We were told that she is sound, great in her stall with no vices, and easy-going about pretty much everything.

During our session, she was somewhat distracted by the horses turned out in the nearby round pens; her handler explained that Rose enjoys her somewhat currently limited turnout (an hour or so solo in a round pen), and that she probably thought that’s where she was going and was quite disappointed when that wasn’t the case. . In her photos you can see she was a bit antsy and appears to be wanting to be somewhere else- and that was the round pen. “Over there, people! I want to go over there!” During the winter, she enjoyed regular turnout and has turned out well with other mares in a larger paddock / pasture. We liked her very pretty dished face with just a touch of chrome. She is balanced and nicely proportioned with a longer body type build, which admittedly, often produces a smoother gait to ride. We were told that only a week after she came over to the farm, a farm employee who is working towards becoming a jockey started using her for practice and hopped on her to ride around bareback! We observed that her feet were overdue for a farrier appointment, she was missing three shoes and had one very loose one barely hanging on. We held our breath, uncertain we’d be able to get great jog video because of this, but she totally surprised us. We saw glimpses of a light, lofty, springy, and balanced movement. Wow. We can only image what a pretty mover she might be with a fresh pedicure and a new set of shoes! Rose was another nicely moving, lightly raced, lovely youngster to finish out the day.

Rose is obviously by Redesdale (with Speightstown, Gone West, Danzig) out of an Orientate mare (with Blushing Groom, Storm Bird, Gulch, Cox’s Ridge) in her pedigree.
