Personality
Royal Assault is a very interesting filly. She has an unusual amount of bi-polarness to her. One minute she is calm and quiet and the next people have better start ducking. Her moodiness is a reason why her past owners were selling her and now her newest trainer is determined to work her way through the layers. The heart that Royal Assault shows is rarely seen accept when she runs. It was the first thing that caught Ripley's eyes and now she is determined to make it last. The filly seems as intelligent as anything and is often the one figuring out how to race, ignoring the jockey completely upon her back.
Royal Assault has returned to Witch Creek Stable to continue her career as a broodmare. She is more mellow these days and seems extremely willing to please. If only she'd been that way when she had raced. But being a mother seems to suit her more than racing ever did. She would have raced longer had she not come down with a career ending injury. Who knows what the large filly could have done? Ripely hopes the big girl passes on her fire and her bravery in battle. Those aspects always endeared her to Ripley whether she finished well in a race or not.
