This 16 YO mare's name is Coast Wind and she's listed on Starquine for $750.00. I wanted to point her out because even though she hasn't produced any real talent, there's a lot to like about her pedigree.

Her dam Blue Wind (IRE) was a 3YO Champion in England and Ireland. Her female family produced Wilko, Taiki Treasure ($2.8M earnings, by Miswaki) Happy Path ($2.0M, by Sunday Silence), Taiki Marshall ($1.9M, Dance of Life), Taiki El Dorado ($1.2M, Theatrical) and many, many, many other stakes horses. (There are so many blacktype horses under the 2nd dam that the 3rd and 4th aren't even listed. Coast Wind's GSV is 74.44!
She's a gamble, but with the right stallion....who knows. The genetic potential certainly seems to be there. Ad says she has no vices and is sound. Interesting...

I wanted her ... BAD... to breed to Perfect Circle (proven nick Unbridled X Chief's Crown) but am lacking extra money for a mare...
If she is still available that is really scary
...
She is WELL worth the gamble for $750!
Somebody buy her and I'll give you a free breeding to Perfect Circle for her!!

I have seen that mare on the market for a while- she was for sale a two/three years ago for 5k I think --- but I thought she was infoal- looks tough to get into foal, but I don't know if it is a common thing because I had a Chiefs crown mare, that slipped continually for everyone that had her about the same age, bought her for 800 infoal slipped two weeks later, and the next year I got her pregnant she held it had the most beautiful filly I sold the pair and she hasn't even gotten pregnant since! With her it was just a lot of molly coddling, and she carried past term, and was real healthy.
Personally if I was in US, I would obviously take the gamble, as I was thinking about it at 5k!

I called the owner, she was still available as of last week.
Karie, if you're really interested, PM me, and if some how we can work out some sort of boarding arrangement, let me know. As I said before, I'm not too concern about the initial investment, it is more the monthly up keep that I'm concern about.

I called over three weeks ago and never got a call back...figured she must be sold, I called a couple of times. That will p me off (excuse my language) because i just bought that Latin American mare to breed to Karie's stud instead!
