Interesting filly for sale

Charming Court

IF I were looking for a young mare, this one would catch my eye. Now, her first dam is light in black type (deal breaker for many I realize) but her 2nd dam is the stakes winning dam of Golden Missile.

She's by Silver Charm and out of Catalina Court, by Forty Niner. Trainer is trying to sell her as an eventer - seems a bit of a waste for such a nice pedigree.

$2000 OBO.

Nice shoulder, but she her cannons are too fine for my taste and her hindquarters lack depth. The camera angle could be deceptive, though.

Its really hard to take into account many things that come from Suffolk as being the next bighorse... I'm sure it has happen once or twice, but I would think someone would have grabbed her before breeding season if she was such a catch.

It is the thought of many that it is a perfectly effecient horse world where any mare worth breeding is snatched up at her value. I find this not to be the case, and see many mares in claiming races that are well worth the price or more just for their broodmare value.
I saw a mare race a few days ago at Gulfstream in a 25,000 claiming race, she is out of a full sister to Lakeway, her unraced half sister(not as well bred) sold at Nov. Keeneland 3 years ago for $350,000 in foal to her first foal. There are bargains to be found if you look for them.
