Fleet Goddess
Visit her stall.† Goddess is a sweetheart just like her dam with a very competitive spirit. She is beautiful and knows it. She loves to show off her perfect racing conformation and beautiful dark bay coat with her unique half-heart star. She always loves to be better than everyone else. She just has to be the best. She is picky though and only does things her way.
† Goddess was bred and raised on our farm. She has pretty rare bloodlines since her sire, Jet Ski, is going to have a limited amount of foals. She is the first born from G1 racer, Queen of Hearts. Goddess has a lot of potential from both sides of her lineage and should do very well on the track. Jet Ski was a great horse with not enough credit to his name but Kirsten just knows that Fleet Goddess will show the world what good lineage she has. She was entered in the first yearling training camp that Akita Rose Stables has made and had been thriving since then. It helped create a very special bond between Kirsten and Goddess.
Now Goddess' racing career is coming to an end. She had a great racing career. As a two year old she won the Breeder's Cup Juvenile and received an award for Best Grade Four horse. As a three year old she won top races like the Seaspray Cup, the first jewel of the filly triple crown: the Acorn Stakes and won the Breeder's Cup Distaff. She also won the Best Grade Two award. As a four year old she won the Dubai World Cup and the Breeder's Cup Distaff for the second year in a row. She has always been an amazing race horse and we look forward to seeing her foals in the future.

Another Note: This paragraph was written by Ripley in her Analysis of Hall of Fame Horses:
"Breeders Cup races matter more now than they did in the past. If that is the case, we need to look at several past horses that would stand quite proudly alongside our newest Hall of Famers. Our three year old champions should be considered for final rewards such as these because very rarely are schedules repeated by every three year old.
Horses That Should Be In The Hall of Fame and Are Not:
Fleet Goddess won three Breeders Cup Races, two Breeders Cup Distaffs and the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies. She won the Winter Cup and Summer Cup Grade Five Dirt as a juvenile against older horses, the Acorn Stakes, the Natural Memorial Stakes, and the Dubai World Cup. She ran 57 times and won 17 races. Her career would have gotten her to the Hall during the early years. She's ready to become a champion with a record comparable to many of her cohorts. She was denied once, but what other dirt champion has a record like hers?"
