personality
El Sol del Mar is a prideful young horse that is basically the boss in any herd she exists in. Her attitude with people however changes and she is the kindest and one of the most well-behaved horses Ripley Marsh has ever owned. She is powerful when running and enjoys it just as much as everyone else around her and always put her heart into whatever she does. She's never been known to enjoy a vacation and gives anyone a rough time around the barn if not let loose for a gallop around the track for at least five minutes. El Sol Del Mar fights every inch during a race and gives both her jockey, owner, and the other horses in the field a run for their money. Recently, El Sol del Mar is becoming a very interesting horse. Ever since she started racing grade ones her grit has increased. She is more focused on works than ever before and is determined to prove that no one can count her out just yet. Around the barn she is among the sweetest of horses. She is kind to the other grooms, but is mostly bonded to Ripley. Sunny is the boss around the barn and she is the judge between the two year olds. Ripley uses her for workouts with the most ill-tempered of horses because she won't take other horses nastiness or cause a fight to occur. Ripley is determined to make the new gear of iron will Sunny is showing into something that can destroy the other fields on the track.

Retired Grade One Racing Earnings:$29,167,000 El Sol del Mar had the most impressive racing career of any race horse Ripley has ever met or seen. The chestnut filly went from a mediocre two year old season to top honors of Horse of the Year as a three year old filly. Her most notable wins are the Preakness, the Belmont, and The Breeder's Cup Classic. She has finished first 22 times and is well on her way for making herself immortal in the Hall of Fame. When El Sol del Mar runs she burns the feet off her opponents until the end where a powerful gear waits. She usually draws off, but even in the most grueling of races this filly still is up for a challenge of a duel. Her best competitor has been the grade one racer Euphoria who has provided an intense rivalry since the word go. As the third year in her racing progresses people will be left to wonder how much more this red magician can pull off in a career fit for a legend. After two years of racing El Sol del Mar has pulled off the biggest honor, a position in the Green Horse Fields hall of fame.

WRITTEN BY RIPLEY MARSH
For one final appearance,
I've come to take back my throne,
To show the doubters I've not lost my touch,
To make my presence known,
With undying speed,
I'll let those newcomers know,
That the throne belongs to me,
And me alone.
Here I go,
Off like a bullet from a silver gun,
Now watch as I roll,
Here I go,
Out with my final bang,
With a long overdue standing ovation,
All my own.
