In the horse racing world, many horses attempt to write history, but very few are actually able to do that. Many have been seen as having the potential to break old records. One of the horses with immense potential for the same is “Balletic”. This 3-year-old, who has participated in very few starts as of yet, has performed phenomenally enough for people to be drawn to her.

Trained by Multiple Stakes Graded Winning Trainer Todd A. Pletcher, this racehorse has been very versatile, as she has performed greatly on multiple distances and on a variety of surfaces. Her being a rising star in the world of thoroughbred racing is not only due to her being a very talented athlete but also to her hard work and great temperament. In a recent tweet by Sarah Horsegirl Friesen, the filly is seen practicing. Possessing such potential, what pedigree does she own?

Balletic’s immense potential and exceptional traits can be traced back to her parents. The veteran horse racer Into Mischief sired the filly out of Ricketyracketyruss. Her well-known father, who has a great track record in horse racing as well as siring great racehorses, is one of the leading sires in North America. Her mother, Ricketyracketyruss, is a stakes-winning horse and passed on her remarkable traits to Balletic.

 

In the recent post by Sarah Horsegirl Friesen on X, Balletic is seen jogging. Balletic is observed to be happily crossing distances on the sand. A voice was heard on the video, which, from the opinions provided, was assumed to be that of her trainer, Todd. In the post, the location of the training ground is mentioned as Silver Springs. It also mentions that jogging was a daily routine for her.

Balletic’s good performance in her training is praised by the caption “doing well throughout the early stages of her training”. In the video, the voice, which is assumed to be Todd, mentions that she has been improving, surpassing herself day by day. While he does mention that she is still jogging, by which he supposedly meant that she needs to be good enough to run, he also mentions that she has been increasing the distance.
