I have just recently bought a horse running in England called MARIA BONITA , she is a 3 year old filly and in my opinion highly likely to win a race or 2. ( prize money is not fantastic
)
She is out of the mare NIGHTITUDE and is her only daughter. The mare has produced 4 colts , 2 of which were poor.
MOUNT JOY is her son out of MTOTO and he raced once for Barry Hills at 2 before being sold to GODOLPHIN (rated 103 and thought good enough to run in a GROUP 1) the horse clearly had physical problems and has since regressed.
GOLDEN CAVERN is her son out of LION CAVERN , he won at 2 and won LISTED rcaes in ITALY at 3.
What i would like to know as a gambling man but an ill educated person on breeding :
Is MARIA BONITA likely to or even is it possible/probable that she might pass on to her progency some of the ability that her mother clearly managed to 2 of her sons ?
She is the only daughter of NIGHTITUDE and is she a speculative punt , a waste of time, a risky proposition or has an outside chance of making it as a reasonable/useful mare ???
As you can see form my post i am clueless in this area but keen to learn !
The dilema i have is that although unraced for me as yet , i may have an offer on the table for MARIA BONITA at a small profit. Ordinarily my pleasure would come from placing her to win , but certain circumstances have made me curious.
All replies greatly received and welcomed.
Good Luck
Andy
