Island Fashion

[almar3t]

Island Fashion is going to be sold after the BC Distaff. Anyone from the ESPN board knows this is one of my favorites. She was not a coddled one either. Her race record is 30 6-5-4. She ran well on dirt and turf. She won short, she won long in Graded stakes. Three grade 1's. She ran against everyone, even the boys.

In my opinion she was mismanaged after the Santa Anita Handicap in 2004. She gave her all in that race and I thought she should have been given a break instead of sending her to the Apple Blossum against Azeri. She hasn't won the last two year's but has come close losing by a length or less this year in her graded stakes starts. I wish her the best of luck in the Breeder's Cup.

Any idea of what she will bring at the November sale in Kentucky? I think she has won or placed in 15 graded or black type races. Over $2 million in earnings. I don't think her pedigree is considered to be that desirable (no storm cat). If you bought her who would you breed her too? Petionville is a Seeking the Gold and she is a great granddaughter of Danzig.
