This mare intrigues me - should I buy?

[Avila Acres]

I saw this mare for sale on an equestrian site and would be curious to hear your opinions. Her name is Cross Creek

What has caught my eye is the 3x3 to Inca Queen and that female family. Any thoughts on her pedigree along with a mating to my stallion Ingot?

I personally think the Cross Creek/Igot breeding would actually make a pretty decent horse.

Thanks!

Cross Creek made 6 starts over two years of racing and had one place and one show. It might be reasonable to make an excuse for her, but what about her siblings? Moving up one level, there is only one "good" horse, by Run Dusty Run. Since Cross Creek seems to have been from a family of very questionable soundness and ability, I don't think she would bring Ingot what he might need.

Thanks for the feedback Madelyn. I ended up passing on this mare as the owner wanted way too much for her - probably a blessing in disguise!
