Battle Angel

A David Cooperfield Princess

Battle Angel joined our family at an auction

She was chosen to complete the trio of musketeers alongside Bucephale and Babylon as they ventured into the racing world. She caught my attention the moment I saw her standing in her box, radiating the same arrogance and attitude I once admired in Baroness. And as we’ve learned, a little arrogance can be the mark of a great racing horse.

Her pedigree revealed what her presence had already suggested: she was royalty. As the daughter of one of Queen Elizabeth’s stallions, her blue blood shone through in every movement. Battle Angel is our princess, and it’s clear to anyone who meets her. Even her box reflects her elegance—it’s always clean and tidy, as if she holds herself to higher standards. When she moves, it’s not simply walking; she flows, light as a feather, carrying an effortless grace.
But beneath her regal demeanor is a mischievous and frighteningly clever mind. Battle Angel is a master of escape, with a talent for opening barn doors that would make any magician proud. Night after night, she takes secret strolls through the barn, visiting the other horses and returning to her stall by morning as though nothing happened. So far, she has outsmarted 24 of the 25 locking mechanisms we’ve tried, and we’re bracing for the day she unlocks her friends’ boxes for a midnight adventure.

When it comes to running, Battle Angel is in a league of her own. Once she starts, she doesn’t stop—her endurance and drive are unmatched. While her companions slow down, she keeps going, her spirit seemingly endless. Her natural ability makes her destined for the classics, with 2400 meters as her calling.
You have racing horses, and then you have Battle Angel. She’s beyond anything ordinary
— her trainer once said
Right now, she’s recovering at home after catching several viruses at the training center, but we’re confident in her bright future. Her strength, intelligence, and grace set her apart from the rest. Battle Angel isn’t just a princess; she’s a fighter, a runner, and a symbol of everything extraordinary. Her story is still unfolding, and we’re certain it will be as magnificent as she is.
