Best Broodmare
 

Since I am just getting into breeding, and was thinking about it, I came up with a fun topic.

Who was (is) the best broodmare ever? Not just who gave birth to the best horse, but as in general what mare has had the best racers?

So far Toussaud comes to mind for me. Are there any others out there? We always talk about who are the best sires. Lets talk about mommas for a change. :)

Weekend Surprise.

What a nice mare! That is a good one. Two triple crown races from her offspring. Sad that she died.

Here is a list of all the mares named Kentucky's "Broodmare of the year". This might help you narrow it down.

I think her name is Sharon Brown. Holy Bull and few others out her could run a little.

Let's end the silliness here ...

... the best broodmare ever was Mumtaz Mahal ... second was La Troienne ... the rest ... nowhere.

I'll take La Troienne on top..

But ... she was usually on the bottom.

BB,

I don't know.. I could see her and Blue Larkspur rolling around and her getting on top now and then...

THIS IS A SILLY TOPIC? But beating poor LITF up is a great way to spend the last couple of days...

Sorry, Buffy ... you missed the point.

This is a great topic ... the silliness occurs when anyone mentions a broodmare whose name isn't Mumtaz Mahal or La Troienne.

Was there one? LOL

I haven't followed the breeding aspect that much. Just now beginning to learn slowly. Just thinking of horses that I knew of.

Yes ... that was a big event ... though I understand they were both businesslike.

You'll learn a lot faster if you pay very close attention to my posts.

For example ... see if you can figure out the meaning of my last response to Kasept.

I'm pretty sure you can't teach Buffy anything regarding THAT aspect...

Possibly ... but can you figure out what my response to Kasept meant?

Besides Mumtaz Mahal, I'd include Miss Disco, the dam of Bold Ruler and another mare named Geisha, the dam of Native Dancer.

for them only? :cool:

They have ten minutes from ........... NOW!

Then you can go.
