Big class dropping claimers....

What would you say an Unusual Heat daughter that made 137K might be worth as a broodmare?

5 to 8K?

She could be worth a little more than that or she could be worth a little less. It depends what her bottom side looks like. The market is just so dead right now that it's tough to get anything close to a fair price for a broodmare unless it's upper-end. The upper-end market is still ok. Don't get me wrong, the upper-end has dropped but just not nearly as much as the lower-end.

Her dam has dropped five horses - all multiple winners - 3 of the five made at least 100K and one of the ones who didn't was 4-2-1-0 and had some promise. However, none of the five are black type.

Looks like an honest - if unspectacular female family.

As you said, the key is the black-type. For the most part, that's what really matters to people.

The market is so bad right now, that you literally can't give away some of these mares. There are mares that you might have been able to get $7k for a few years ago and now you'd have a hard time getting someone to take the horse for free.

If she was made well she might have been worth 3 or 4k for someone who bred to race.
