Well, upon further inspection, this is a rare property as a broodmare prospect..

Grace's Valentine is out of Roberto's Plenty of Grace, the Galbraith-bred, Darby Dan-campaigned, John Veitch-trained 5X Graded Stakes winner. She has been more productive producing producers than runners so far. She got Bonnie Byerly (dam of Diabolical) and Propriety (dam of Grace Anatomy).

She herself is out of Wings of Grace, a daughter of Key to the Mint produced from a mating with Far Beyond, a daughter of.. Nijinsky! In addition to Plenty of Grace, Wings of Grace produced.. Soaring Softly.

Obviously, no matter how slow she looks so far, I doubt we'll see Grace's Valentine in a claimer any time soon...
