2004 bay mare by SMART STRIKE, broodmare sire of the 2009 Ky Derby winner and 2008 Canadian Champion 2 yo colt MINE THAT BIRD.

By leading sire SMART STRIKE, (sire of SOARING FREE, ENGLISH CHANNEL, and CURLIN), sire SMART STRIKE is also a half brother to Canadian Triple Crown winner DANCE SMARTLY. SMART STRIKE is standing for $125k at Lane's End Farm and currently sits on TOP of the LEADING BROODMARE SIRE list. http://www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/breviewr ... PI&dir=Bms

Smart Gossip is out of first dam Suzy, a BROAD BRUSH mare who is a half sister to TOPICOUNT ($600k earner, multiple stakes and Grade 2 Winner, multiple Grade 1 placed), GSW 2 yo JAHID ($200k yearling), and staked placed Gone West Super Special ($360k yearling).

Second dam Hot Topic (1979 mare by THE MINSTREL - English HOY of 1977) is a half sis to stakes winner ELNAWAAGI, by Roberto & stakes placed Ambuscade by Roberto, a $375k yearling.

Third dam GURKHAS BAND (11x stakes winner, 22 lifetime wins from 45 starts), is a half sis to CUT THE TALK, multiple stakes winner of 25 lifetime races, SW GOLDEN GOSSIP, & SP winner Saucy Singer.

This is an exceptional chance to get some of the hottest current, proven bloodlines at a great price. This mare will go quickly!

Smart Strike, rising broodmare sire: http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/market-w ... -sire.aspx

MarketWatch associate editor Scot Gillies wrote in an analysis: While stock in Smart Strike has shot skyward in the wake of Curlin's repeated Horse of the Year seasons, the son of Mr. Prospector is also making a name for himself through the progeny of his daughters. He makes this year's broodmare sire list despite having less than 10% producers from fillies, one of only two stallions [of 404 on the list] to do so.

Smart Gossip is 15.3 1/2" barefoot. She does not crib, weave or stall walk. She is a class act all the way. This mare is sold as a broodmare prospect only, not to be raced. Album of pics at http://community.webshots.com/album/573403837vWfvis

gosh, Jessi.... you have sorely tempted me with this offering. I have to admit, she certainly seems a bargain at that price.

I peeked at her dam's produce record to see why there were so few offspring - she had some problems early on with a 2001 American Chance that died, and then two barren years. After that, however, it appears she only missed in 2008. The Indian Charlie gelding is 1 1 2 from 5 starts and has earnings of $32,000.

Folks, I don't need to advertise for Jessi, but here is a Smart Strike filly from a solid stakes producing family.

Thanks for the nice comments - she is indeed a super nice gal.

Adding:

Please direct all inquiries to Jessi at the above email address. Mike doesn't want to be bothered with the phone calls & the whole selling process. "That's what I've got you for," he says lol.

She has been running unsuccessfully for $5k. If I add another zero to her price perhaps she will sell more quickly. :lol:

Has anyone checked to see if she is reproductively sound?

Good point

Geez, Jessi - I loved Tipping & now this one . . . and that gorgeous & flashy TB gelding (several of them, now that I think about it)

Downsizing . . . we are downsizing . . . I will be repeating that to myself.

Still, I want to visit YOU when I next come to Pittsburgh!

(But I really have to do it without the trailer . . .)

Hoop King Jr Smarty was examined this past weekend by Dr J Weir (NOT my personal vet), does indeed have ovaries, and was certified as breeding sound.

KB Tipping is one of Jenarby's horses but thank you for the nice compliments.

When you do come visit our neck of the woods you better bring your trailer, I will find something spectacular for you to take home in it.

Sorry for confusing you :oops:

but I DO always like your horses -

Fortunately for me, I need to drive something that'll fit in those underground parking garages in Pittsburgh with the corkscrew entrances . . . I'm good with a trailer, but not THAT good! :lol:

If I had a trailer, this mare would be in it.

the ad states she's for broodmare purposes only. is she sound for other riding disciplines besides racing?
