Takes more than G1 wins to make a mare whose yearlings will sell for multiple millions - which is what those million-dollar broodmares are purchased for. Island Fashion has a distinctly unfashionably pedigree. Her sire is reliable but not top drawer; her damsire is downright obscure; her dam is the only black type under the second dam; only black type under the third dam is regional California stuff. I am not saying that she can't produce a good runner - with the right mating, she very likely will - but am looking at her catalogue page, which is what counts for many commercial breeders (and broodmare buyers).
