pedigree
personality
Noc is some kind of unusual for Witch Creek Stable. She has a unique attitude, one that is very much human in quality. Her behavior is constantly shifting and she can be a bit bi-polar. Noc can be sweet one moment, terrifying the next and brooding minutes after that. Consistency is what the filly needed and consistency is what she didn't get until she came to Witch Creek Stable. She was a bit of a wanderer going through several barns from her yearling season to midway her two year old season. When she first came to Witch Creek, she had a defeated aura about her. There was no fight, no defiance. She just walked into a stall and brooded. She gets that way after her defeats, depressed almost. There is a fighter inside Nocturnal Runaway and it truly came out in her workouts. After so many losses, Noc became savage in her workouts. She wouldn't stop for anything and would try to latch onto any opponent that came to her. Her furious attitude is a reflection of her past.
Noc is absolutely vibrant when she nails down a win. Her energy is so vibrant it is nearly tangible. She bounces from toe to toe and simply cannot be held down by gravity. Her confidence is always high at these points and she seems to do everything correctly and perfectly. In a race, the filly breaks from the gate well and runs right up just behind the stalkers. She enjoys going fast from point A to point B, but her intelligence keeps her in mid-pack where she can't be killed off by a furious pace. She will track the leaders into the far turn, but really doesn't turn on the afterburners until the homestretch. Noc will demonstrate her heart by staving off all challenges with every last bit of that energy. She'll do anything to get that picture taken in the winner's circle.
