Ok day. We seem to do the best with claiming races these days. We picked up Shimmering as a broodmare prospect. She was pretty lightly raced over the years, but has a few siblings that are MSW. I also liked how she has some different bloodlines than the rest of my barn (Sea The Stars sire, and BM sire is Fire ‘n’ Smoke).

Good luck with her. It pains me to sell them but I’ve made a general rule on my breeding stock that you have to be at least stakes placed. It’s a great family as evidenced by Cricket’s stallion Palermo.
Funny day for me, there was 1 diamond in a big pile of rocks with the Stakes runners.
