Swing Dancer is a little vixen. Swing Dancer likes to get her way. Swing Dancer is not above biting, kicking, rearing, and pawing in order to get her way. She will use all of those tactics and more if she does not get her way. She is a pure troublemaker, a minx and absolutely one of the most fascinating horses the Witch Creek Staff has come across. She has a sparkle in the eye and is an extremely attractive horse to bettors and horse fans alike. Danny is flirtatious and cute until you tick her off. Simply by placing a saddle on her back is enough to set this slim gray horse off. She'll paw and bolt while staring daggers at the people who are attempting to tack her up. The only way to get her to calm back down is to run her in tight circles and while she is dizzy, tighten the saddle. It is not a fear thing, it is a dominance thing. Swing Dancer will test her rider to no end and virtually picked Maggie as the least intolerable human. Basically, Maggie got stuck with the minx and now she has to put up with the filly for the rest of her career.
Swing Dancer makes a wonderful picture out on the track, prancing and playing. She does not need any warming up, just a simple light jog will do. The filly is clear-minded on the track, focused to a fault and doesn't even mind the gate-workers crawling all over her in the gate. She is an extremely quiet horse and when the gates fly open, she just stands there stunned for a brief minute. One would think Danny would settle at the back of the pack, but no, the silver bullet launches right past the entire field and to the lead or just off the lead within a furlong. Her early move is practically her trademark. When most bettors and rivals think Danny can take no more, the gray filly keeps giving more, demonstrating her immense courage and the inherited bull-doggedness of her sire.
