She won a race, the dam was G1 placed.
There are tons of winners under the first 3 dams, whats not to like about her?

Her dam is also half-sister to a multi-graded stakes winner of nearly half a million dollars. She looks like a better prospect than many.

On the plus side, her female family is NICE and while it's not ticking out stakes winners as much as it used to (see 3rd dam), it's still producing very well.

On the minus side, she got her wins in cheap claimers at Suffolk, and the Red Bullet frankly scares me. He's not exactly known for his front-end correctness and this mare pulled a suspensory after only a few starts.

Here's a page for Boken Lady's 2006 Macho Uno sibling:

And here is another of her dam's half-sister's production:

She's showing as 'Sold' now at the Canter site - just curious if you were the one who purchased her Altanbarr?

No. Not me. I do think she has a lot of breeding potential as a breed-to-race mare, given her family and size. But I've got a couple of breed-to-race prospects in the pipeline and the expense is getting a bit much.
