Red Herring- adult ref

Description

Red Herring was not a large mare, she was actually very small for a thoroughbred and often was dwarfed in comparison to larger mares like She's a Rat. She wasn't fiery either, she was sweet, gently and willing. She did have drive, but did not have the capacity for blazing speed like Lord Northwest or She's a Rat because of her slightly bent back legs. When she was a foal she had surgery on her legs to straighten them and then wore braces for them for awhile, the problems stemmed from the fact that she was cramped in the womb, as she is a twin. Her larger brother, Infallible, took up most of the space inside of Butter Battle, so poor little Red Herring was squished until she was foaled.

Matt was her jockey, and although she managed to pull off a few graded stakes wins, she was not a spectacular racer that went onto races like the Triple Crown, Triple Tiara, or Breeder's Cup. She was however, better than average. She would have been brilliant if she didn't have trouble with her back legs, it's not possible for her to preform a ground-eating stride like is required by spectacular thoroughbreds. Our plans for her include racing through her four year old season, and perhaps her five year old season but she will definitley contribute a lot to her foals when she becomes a broodmare. Her slightly crooked legs are not heriditary, and had she not been squished would have had perfect conformation.

She is a stunning girl though, beautiful inside and out. She is a real sweetheart- it's hard to believe she is a hotblooded thoroughbred and not a kitten. She'd never hurt a fly. She'll probably be better suited to her career as a broodmare when she gets older than she is to racing now.
