Take the dams of the last twenty horses of the year.
2 were unraced
2 were maidens
5 were winners
8 were stakes winners
1 G1 winner
1 G2 winner
1 G3 winner

Over half of these broodmares were stakes winners. Stakes winning broodmares are outnumbered at least 10-1 by all broodmares yet over half of the last twenty HOY are represented by stakes winning mares.

The lone Grade 1 winner was Mineshaft's dam Prospector's Deelite?



Glenn Wismer trained Luv Me Luv Me Not beat her in the Kentucky Oaks with Fabio riding.

Glenn's the only trainer who ever made me breakfest before - and the one time he did, it resulted in the only time I can ever remember literally sh!tting my pants in my life.
