Personality !

Energetic and clever, though slightly cautious. A bit of a minx, being playful and bothersome. Not mean or violent, but very curious. Honest appearance, possessing quick wit and livelihood. Fast learner, but terrified of the gate. Likes to race in the front and sets a good pace, comfortable at fast and slow tempos.


Breaks from the gate quickly, drops behind the leaders, will happily take the lead if only stalker. 

History !

Winning Touch has shifted many times between Witch Creek Stable and In Stride Racing. Her career was often interrupted by the varying barns though, to her credit, Winning Touch did manage to get all the way to the grade one level. Winning Touch was bred to Ashes to Ashes first time out, but aborted the foal after an intense session of colic. Transferred to Blue Cross Estates to serve as a Brood Mare.
