As a racehorse, this Thoroughbred mare was a Grade I winner with lifetime earnings in excess of $700K [USD]. As a broodmare, she founded a dynasty that includes a two time Breeders Cup Champion. Now? At the age of 28 years old, she has been a pensioner for several years but still has the look of eagles. Along with a couple of pasture buddies, she spends her days grazing in the sun. She deserves it :)
[Oh, yeah, she loves peppermints, too! lol]
