Appealing Kris hails from one of the most consistent families around, that of Judy Rae. Judy Rae is responsible for the whole Courtly Dee clan and she was also a half-sister to the granddam of Swaps among others. I should also note Appealing Kris was a very useful racemare and is now a stakes producer and being bred very well.
Forever Rainbows has been an interesting mare to watch from a racing perspective. She's a Deputy Minister half to Winning Colors which makes Miss Carmie her 2nd dam. She's also had two stakes-quality colts win tough allowances at major tracks, such as Saratoga, and I would imagine its only a matter of time before she gets that major stakes winner that can make her daughters REAL valuable.

I was disappointed in that Pulpit filly's price, but when you think about it, it's not a surprise. Winning Colors has been a bust as a broodmare and that family just hasn't had much, if any, success lately. The filly must not be very good looking, though, to bring that low a price.
The Sky Mesa -Darling My Darling filly has a wonderful pedigree and the looks to match. I was happy with the full to Purge as well.....Tomorrow, I'm especially anxious to see how the AP Indy-Macoumba filly (full to Malibu Moon) and the Mineshaft-Unbridled Lassie sell. Lane's End wants to get the buzz going on Mineshaft and Bill Farish seems to be very high on this filly. I'm crossing my fingers!
