personality
Destiny is quite like her dam, Dynasty. She is very quiet and reserved and does not bother anyone. She is quite laidback, but can be spooky and skittish at times. She has her days where she is rather lazy, but with a little encouragement after you get her out on the track she is like a lightning bolt. She tends to keep herself to herself most of the time. She is very good to handle and to deal with, she does not pull or get anxious when she is being brought to or from the field. Generally she is a very nice horse to be around, she is genuinely friendly and laid back.
history
Pedigree:
Dynasty (dam) x Cynical (sire) [Century [Mercury Rising x Enchanted Mist] x Fly High Silver [Fly High [Stormwing x Crescendo] x Muskhari Silver [Muskhari x Silver Rhapsody]]
First Year at Close: Destiny is a recent addition to the Close Racing string, bought under the advice of her new trainer, Elisabeth Harper.
3yo Season: Destiny had a fairly fantastic three year old run, progressing from a G5 level to a G3 level in less than a year, and when she wasn't winning she was placing soundly in most of her races. There is a very promising career as a four year old ahead of this young mare.
4yo Season: coming!
