I think that is more true for the boys than the girls...a colt with a grade one can potentially make a fat paycheck in the first year that he goes to stud...a filly on the other hand won't earn a thing for close to 2 years...lets assume this filly gets in foal on the first or second cover...that sets her up for a feb foal in 08...the earliest that they might sell the foal is in the November sales...but more likely not til the yearling sales of 09...in the meantime you have stud fees vet fees and care for both mare and foal...personally I think that for a filly it makes more financial sense to run her if she is able
