Kiss is a small, slim filly with the grace of a predator. DW Flamekissed, her sire, was known for his extreme heart, and Kiss has inherited this from him. From her dam, Hall of Fame inductee Wild Flower, Kiss has gotten her slim build and easy grace, as well as her love of the turf. Her entire coat is meticulous and smooth, satin soft with black highlights in just the right places. She's a beautiful filly with a heart of gold and a sweet expression on her face. Her half sister Wildly Natural is a grade one, extremely successful award winning Hall Of Fame inductee. Kiss herself is a very unique horse, different from her sister in many ways, but we think she has the potential to go just as far.
Kiss is sweet but sly. She'll be there for you and will be a loyal friend if she has to, but usually it's all a trick to get under your skin so she can get what she wants. A smart person is the one that needs to rider, mainly Amber Black. Amber doesn't let this side of Kiss get to her, and has learned just how to harness this side so that Kiss's immense power can be revealed. Though she doesn't look it, Kiss has muscles of steel and the brains of Einstein, and she knows how to use it all to her advantage. She doesn't particularly need to be doing something in her spare time, but when she does find something that she's interested in doing and that suits her abilities she goes for it. In this case, racing is what suits her. She works at it, and during our workouts shows off that huge heart she inherited from her sire. Against all odds, she will work to finish that race, and to do as well as she can at all times is not something you have to make Kiss do. Kiss cannot imagine performing below par in anything she attempts to do - she must do her best, no less, or she will not be a happy filly. Her determination is legendary around our stables, and will give her a huge edge in races. Kiss hates to have to work with someone else as well to accomplish her goals. She feels that this other person will mess up her meticulous plan to take over the world. In the case of Amber Black, she is learning very slowly to make an exception. When truly united as one, they will make an amazing team.
Leg Type: Closer
Kiss is a closer. She doesn't like to break very fast, as the huge amount of horses breaking out on either side of her at the exact same time is accident prone, but she does break quickly enough to steal a place at the back. No matter how swift the pace, Kiss will be able to catch up and win. She has proven this through her various trackworks, where she just hits the flames with gas and burns up the track in her quest for first place. She will break out of those gates, take up a position in the back, and then begin to move up selectively throughout the backstretch. Kiss knows how to thread her way in between horses in even the smallest of spaces, and is canny at predicting what the horses around her will do next and then use her knowledge to her advantage. No matter the result, Kiss will continue trying to get that win under her belt, if only to be pleased with herself and her purpose in life.
