personality
Xal is one amazing filly. She has a gorgeous long and narrow head, with such large and expressive eyes that simply just draw you in. She's very friendly, but knows how to be a diva and won't hesitate to get the way she wants. She is a very proportionally correct filly, much in thanks to her famous sire, GS Ultimate Challenge. From her dam, however, Xal gets an amazing drive for speed. Much like a female replica of her grandsire, GS Gallant Prince, this filly has racing written all over her. Xal is a filly that thrives upon interaction and will fight with any horse to get attention. She's pure thoroughbred through and through and will one day make a fine stakes winner and champion. In the gate she is very calm, but tends to snap and kick at other horses as an attempt to discipline them when they start to freak out next to her. On the track she can be on the harder side to slow down. She must use blinkers because she can get distracted when other horses start gaining on her and she may swerve out as to 'discipline' them in some way. Without any problems on the track she runs perfectly and is happy to obey.

Pedigree: GS Ultimate Challenge x TizNow

First Year at Close: Xal is the newest addition to the Close Racing string, purchased from Riverwood Acres.

3yo Season: Xal's three year old season was definitely a good one, with the young mare progressing to a G4 level of racing and adding a good amount of races under her belt, placing well in the majority of them with stiff competition on all sides. There are high hopes that she will only progress further in her four year old season.

4yo Season: coming!
