The filly is the first surviving foal of Winx (champion race mare). Her first foal was a stillbirth, so this one is a bit of a miracle as mares that have raced a LOT often have trouble reproducing. And Winx raced a LOT. Still, this filly will be completely eclipsed if Winx produces a son. Male horses don’t have trouble reproducing even after a LOT of racing, and a son from her will be incredibly valuable as a sire, especially if such a son has a good racing career. Think 80 plus foals per year at $500,000 minimum stud fee per foal. Per year. For 20 plus years. Ignore the patriotism, look at the dollarydoos.
