Personality.
Intelligence, strength, and incredible speed - just three words to describe the heir of two great sprinting legacies. Winnie is a very smart girl, and that can both be a very good thing and a bad one. On one hand, she picks up the skills trainers are tying to teach her in record time, accelerating her through her training incredibly quickly. On the other hand, it's easy to teach her something you may not have intended. And also for other horses to teach her bad habits. She was around a nurse mare once that chewed wood, and within an hour she'd picked up the destructive habit. Her stall has signs of wear from her chewing, something that drives Mae up a wall because it ruins the nice look. She also get at pasture boards, even trees... luckily she doesn't crib, she just chews. She doesn't have to have her teeth floated often, at least. When she was younger, Winnie was a very clumsy creature - running into things, tripping over her own feet constantly. She was a clown, which just led to more falling over. As she's grown older, though, she's gotten a whole lot more graceful. Winnie is generally a pretty steadfast animal. She doesn't really spook at noises or quick movements. The only thing that really gets her white-eyed and terrified is dogs. If they're quiet, she can be convinced to stand and tolerate them, but she's completely unhappy while doing so. However, if they're barking or otherwise acting aggressively toward her, she's out. No consoling her, no convincing her otherwise. She's dumped more than one rider this way, and it took over an hour to chase her down. She might grow out of the fear, but it's hard saying. When she's under saddle, Winnie is pretty hard to contain because of her excitement. With ears pricked and neck arched, she wants nothing more than to let loose and blow off some steam. She puts as much into her works as she does in a race. It doesn't take much to get this filly to sweat, so she tends to go into the gate already darkened. After works she looks like she ran a mile rather than three furlongs. However, she still runs a rocket pace and it doesn't seem to affect her performance any. Just a quirk of genetics. Winnie runs very well in company, and therefore perfectly in a race - she hates having other horses on her tail, so once she's ahead of them, she does her best to get as far away from them as possible. All in all, Winnie has a great personality and enough talent to make it big.

Winnie is often already lathered when she goes into the gate, but still exudes eager energy. When she breaks, her jockey keeps her to the very back of the pack. Due to her hatred of horses being on her heels, the best way to keep her reined in is to keep her behind them all. For the first three furlongs of the race, she stays put. However, about two furlongs from the finish, she's let go. Winnie has a great turn of foot and more speed than any horse Valkyrie has ever known - she flies past horses, picking them off quickly and efficiently. The more she puts behind her, the faster she goes - if they come up behind to challenge, she finds even more to try and turn them off. Once she's in front of the pack, Winnie doesn't stop until she's put as much distance between as she possibly can.
