She won well, well done to the connections however she still has a lot of wins to achieve in order to recoup her purchase price. 'Very well bred' or 'fashinably bred' whatever you want to call it. Thoroughbreds are all 'very well bred' as the studbook is closed and they all descend from 21 mares and 3 Arabian stallions and heavily inbred to each other. With the norm of knee chip surgery, tie back ops etc, surely we should move away from selecting horses of 'in fashion pedigrees' and rather look at soundness and race track performance when evaluating pedigrees.

Stick to breeding the Toyotas Summerhill!!! This is what has made you champion breeders for so mnay years unlike many of your peers who used to dominate SA breeding and dropped down the log in recent years....
