Havre de Grace retired

They said she had some heat in her ankle. That's disappointing.

She was an outstanding mare. Good enough to beat the boys and tough enough to successfully do battle with Blind Luck.

I believe I may be off but my personal opinion is because of her HOY, her class, and in particular because she is the best offspring out of a very limited sire who came from a world class family himself, Rick Porter is about to get paid on this one. Thinking playful act Territory. Maybe not THAT high but in that ballpark.

Just because Saint Liam died young, and is a "very limited sire", I don't think that is what makes her valuable at all.
