Daughterofthewoods raced three times in her career and each time, the pint-sized chestnut broke like a bullet and was quickly in front of her rivals.
She was bred to be speedy too, as a daughter of leading Canadian stallion Old Forester and from a dam, Avenging Kat, who was a quick 2-year-old stakes winner in British Columbia.
Alas, Daughterofthewoods could not keep that power going for more than a furlong or two and owner and breeder Robert Heggie and trainer Stuart Simon realized racing was not the little speedster’s strong suit.
