Lulu is a real show off before a race, head held up and looking around in the parade ring before being taken up to the track. She moves well when cantering to the gates, requiring no lead pony, and gates with very few hiccups - the one issue you might have is that she is over-eager and need to be slowed before entering the contraption. She starts with gusto, often at or close to the front of the field, but drops back quickly. It is perhaps not surprising that a horse like Lulu gravitates to the center of the field and stays there, neither too close to the leaders nor trailing at the back. It is easy to forget she is there, and that is something that she will take advantage of - lurking where she does not seem to be a threat. Lulu starts to slowly build pace throughout the second half of a race, finding herself with the preceders as they come out of the final turn and into the stretch. This is where she comes into her own. The gaps which invariable open up are perfect for her to run through, fueling her competitive drive and (in turn) her impressive burst of speed. While she isn't quite the closer her spurt in the stretch is noticeable and relentless. She has the speed and stamina of her parents, the desire to win, and the talent to bring victory home.
