Along with her less than regal pedigree, does she have a fertility problem. She got te black type early . Wondering why they waited untill now to make her a broodmare. Wouldnt her age take away from her value. What would be the Max number of foals posible? I read recently where the top notch[maybe the best of here generation] broodmare, Personal Ensign ,was pensioned this year. She was 22.

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).
