Crimson Saint is Terlingua's dam... which is why in my original post I said Crimson Saint is partly responsible for some of the fastest "blood" in today's horses.

For those who don't remember Melair.....
She raced only in 1986, winning all five of her lifetime starts, three of them in Graded Stake races. Melair is most famous for taking on top males in a $400K Grade 2 Stake and DESTROYING them. She won it by 6 1/2 lengths over 8 time champion South American sire Southern Halo. Snow Cheif, who was Champion 3yo male that same year, finished 3rd beaten 11 lengths. The final time for the mile was a supersonic 1:32 4/5. She was just 3/5ths of Dr. Fager's world record. She also beat Hidden Light in another Stake that year. Those not fimilar with Hidden Light, she won the Gr 1 Santa Anita Oaks, Gr 1 Hollywood Oaks, and Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks that same year, and she's also the dam of Artie Schiller. While I was only 5 years old when Melair raced...I have seen film of three of her races...and she was an absolute freak.

Looking at her pedigree, its pretty interesting. There are lines of some of the best blood of her time, but through individuals that were considered subpar representatives of that blood. She's tail-female to Admiration who produced the incredible Pretty Polly. Amazing how true class will rise out of no where when the blood is there. Raja Baba is such an underestimated source of class and speed... that family can sure produce a sire.

If you think Capote Belle was good, and she was, what about Danseuse who drowned her in their respective debuts and went on to run, unfortunately, only once more?

Are you picking Crimison Saint because of her steller produce record...or do you really believe she be justified as an all-time fastest filly based upon what she did on the race track? I've seen a lot of film of a lot of great fillies---but never seen any of her races. All I know, about her as a race horse is that she was 7-for-11 and made 91K with one graded stake win. A horse like Spectacular Bid was 24-for-24 lifetime, between the distances of 7 furlong to 1 1/4 miles, setting MANY track records, and overcoming tremendous adversity in some of those wins (Florida Derby etc.) Yet, he was a rather weak stallion. Would you hold the fact that he was so bad in the breeding shed against him as a race horse?
