Unless there is really solid pedigree there, she's not worth anything as a broodmare as that $5k to $20k marketplace is really dead.

One thing I always point out to my readers is that a decent racemare need not have a stellar sire to produce well; she's demonstrated on the track that she has good running genes. So many examples - Jameela, Likely Exchange, Lady Shirl - just to name a few. If the racetrack success is lacking, then you need to worry about her sire's prowess. As it is, this gal's family is more blue-collar than gilt-edged, although her dam is a half to a G1-placed SW in Britain and a SP $1 million-earner in Japan. More breed-to-race than breed-to-sell.
