Sweet Stalker ("Sweetie") was a champion since the day she was born. She has always been the horse that had been the limelight of Akita Rose Stables. She is stubborn and loves to win. She had a strong bond with her rider that was visible any time she raced. There is no doubt that she loved the track.
She broke her maiden on the first time on the track and Kirsten knew from then on that Sweetie would carry her father's legacy and speed on the racetrack. With $26 676 500 in prize earnings Sweetie did just that. Her final record ended up at 62-16-15-17 which means that out of 62 starts she only failed to show in 14 races (that gives her a 77% win/place/show percentage). She ran in plenty of important race such as the Triple Crown, Breeder's Cup Distaff, Breeder's Cup Classic, Climax Cup, Unicorn Horn Dirt and the Dubai World Cup.
She received awards on GHF for her racing career as well such as an Encouragement Award in Y5 and won Best Dirt Horse in Y6.
Soon she will be passing on her talent to her offspring. Her first colt, Pride Stalker has just been born in Y7 and we look forward to the day he will be running on the same track his dam had won on.
