R.I.P. to a gallant mare, can't believe any horse that ran as well as she did in the'88 BC Distaff could get beat.

I remember working out at Santa Anita when she was running.. What a great looking mare she was!! Had a huge rear end almost like a quarter horse.. Too bad she never produced anything like her. From what I remember hearing was she only had one or two babies but I could be mistaken.

Rest in Peace pretty girl.

I think she had at least 6 or 7 foals. A number of them were winners too, but I don't think she ever produced a stakes winner.
She wasn't great for a prolonged period, but man in the spring of her 3yo year - during that SA Oaks, SA Derby, KY Derby time - she was sure a good one.
She was fun to watch, and I'm sure she will be missed.
