What would be your plans for her foals? Breeding to race or breeding to sell - and, if so, in what market? Do you already own her or are you considering her to purchase?

The dam is a 1/2 sis to MSW UNCLE PUNK ($100k), but she herself did not win and earned only $3k and she has produced nothing of note, yet. She has been bred to some nice stallions, but nothing seems to have run. She's got a 4yo by Yes Its True and a 3yo by Full Mandate, but I'm not seeing any starts for either.

Her sire isn't well known in the US, but he's a useful stallion with a good pedigree.

The pedigree gets nice under the third dam with GrSWs CONQUISTAROSE ($487k) and DE LA DEVIL ($180k) stks pl MARATHA and Planet Earth ($250k) who is standing in La. and has some nice foals.


It's not a bad pedigree, but it's not a terribly commercial one. The good thing is that it's a young pedigree and it has the potential to improve. However, I personally wouldn't breed this mare with the hopes of making a killing selling the foal at a major sale. I think she could be a useful mare and you could get some nice foals out of her if you pick your matings carefully.

Good luck with it.
