Akita Rose Stables was looking to breed Like A Cheetah to a special turfing mare. They were looking for good caliber but when they found Glorious Storm they just couldn't resist. Glorious Storm had never raced and was not well known at all but that didn't matter. Kirsten remembered the day the mare was born, the cutest little gray fluff-ball ever. It just so happened that Cheetah and Gloria had been both been at Sunshine Paradise Farm at the same time and it just seemed like a romantic fit. So it was settled and voila! Towering Tempest was born. He was transferred to Blue Cross Estates in Y14 as a yearling to finish off his Prospect career.

Race Record: 0-0-0-0 Dirt: Good Turf: Great Distance: 8-12 Furlongs Leg Type: Closer Personality !
The original saying goes, "Tempest in A Teapot," meaning a lot of noise in a small enclosed space. That particular saying fits this colt to a "T." Anything, but a quiet and respectful colt. Throws tantrums often, gets into trouble easily. Social with other horses, but dominant. He hovers over his food just so that he can brag when everyone else is finished with theirs. His overall toughness carries over the to the track and makes him a very volatile contender in most every spot you place him in. Likes to lurk in wait when racing, keeping to the pack of the pack. Needs the perfect moment to move, or won't be able to make it.
Breaks from the gate slowly, lies in wait at back, makes move around the far turn, can't have momentum thrown off or will lose, a lot of speed and stamina put into the move to propel him forward like a storm. Achievement !
