DREAMING OF GLORY
THE BASICS[/u]
Registered Name: Dreaming Of Glory
Barn Name: Glory
Registration Number: #1277
Age: Two [2011]
Gender: Colt
Height: 16.1hh
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour: Chestnut
Personality: Glory is a spirited colt. He is a lively, bold character and you always know when he is around. He is cheeky and loud, whether he is neighing or kicking at his stall door. After his birth he was up on his feet within no time and was running around the paddocks showing everyone his talent from a young age. He is a mischief maker and seems to annoy the other horses in the field, whoever we put him with. He likes to run with the other colts and always makes sure he is ahead. He hates to lose and has a little temper when he does. Hopefully this will show in his racing career and his fight to win will shine through. Glory is headstrong and likes to think he knows best. He needs a firm hand to set him straight, but once he knows he can’t get his own way all the time he is respectable and responsive. This is why Millie is the only person who rides Glory. Glory is determined and fiery. He knows what he wants and will do whatever he needs to do to get there and Millie loves the colt for this. He has a special place at Oak Hill, Once Upon A Dream is his dam and she is the light of the stable. Millie has very big hopes for Glory and works with him endlessly, hoping he will turn out just as his dam did, if not better.
Discipline: Flat Racing
PEDIGREE & PROGENCY[/u]
Pedigree: Bank On Glory x Once Upon A Dream
Offspring: None
Reserves: Star Thoroughbreds [x1; Unknown]
Stud Book: Closed
Pedigree Comments: Glory has excellent bloodlines with the likes of: Once Upon A Dream, Bank On Glory, Bank On Silver, Merry Bay King, Livin’ The Dream and Armidale blood in him! A real blue blooded colt! His dam, Once Upon A Dream, is arguably the best racer Oak Hill and her abilities will hopefully be passed down to her offspring. She was awarded with Y6 Best 2 Year Old Filly and Y7 Best 3 Year Old Filly. Dream won many major races, including: Dubai Filly Cup, Blue Grass Stakes, Unicorn Horn Turf, Breeder’s Cup Juvenile Fillies, Eagle Cup, Summer Cup, Winter Cup and Alzea Cup. She also placed in races such as: Seaspray Cup, Dubai World Cup, Winter Cup, A-Lot-To-Live-Up-To Stakes, Queen Cup, Spring Cup, Girls Festival and Unicorn Horn Maiden. She showed in major races such as: Autumn Cup, Breeder’s Cup Mile, Belmont Stakes, Kentucky Derby, Climax Cup, Florida Derby, and Seaspray Cup. Dream also participated in races such as: Full Moon Derby, Universal Cup and Unicorn Horn Dirt. Dream ran well on both surfaces and Glory has picked up great dirt influences from both her and his sire. His sire, Bank On Glory, was a magnificent grade one race horse. He was awarded with Y6 Best Prospect Colt, Y7 Best 2 Year Old Colt, Y8 Best 3 Year Old Colt and Y8 Encouragement Award. He won many major races such as: Unicorn Horn Juvenile, A-Lot-To-Live-Up-To Stakes, Unicorn Horn Mile, Blue Grass Stakes, Louisiana Stakes, Autumn Cup, Kentucky Derby, Dubai World Cup, Spring Cup and Palm Tree Paradise Invitational. He placed in races such as: Azalea Cup, Boys Festival, Seaspray Cup, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes, Breeder’s Cup Classic and Palm Tree Invitational. Bank On Glory also showed in: Autumn Cup, Breeder’s Cup Juvenile, Winter Cup, Summer Cup, Climax Cup, Dubai Colt Cup, Autumn Cup, Breeder’s Cup Classic and Unicorn Horn Dirt. It is clear to see that both parents dominated over the dirt and between them they seem to have won all of the dirt races going on the GHF circuit. If his parents are anything to go by, Dreaming Of Glory has a huge future ahead of him!

RACING
Racing Style: Glory is a fierce and competitive racer. He breaks quickly out of the gates quickly and fights to secure his place as a front runner. Glory leads from the front and never looks back. He fights off any competition that may arise and will not back down. The moment he senses another horse on his track he quickens his speed and pulls away once again. Glory’s adrenaline pushes him through the races without him tiring in the last straight, where every second really matters.
