What's this mare worth?

Postby Camish » Sun Jan 29, 2006 3:56 pm

I'm considering an older mare to add to my broodmare band...she's 22, a G1 winner, earned almost $400,000, and has had 13 foals, 2 SW and 2 SP. She is currently open. She didn't have a foal in 04, had one in 05, and didn't get preg again. What's she worth? Thanks!

Its truly difficult to say without knowing her female family. But on a related tangent, when im looking at an old mare from a family I want, I personally put much more emphasis on who her daughters are sired by and what they have produced and to whom, than what the mare in question has produced. I want to see a solid production record from the mare, but like I said, her daughters are going to make her foal's page (and most hope for a filly), since she's pretty much done all she can to improve it.
