I had to have one more Mclean’s Music. I wanted a filly so I can run the babies for the next 20 years. Can you say delusions of grandeur?
#334 was a MM filly. The dam was by Arch out and AP Indy mare, once again pure stamina. The dam had a brief 3 race career, but did win a MSW. The second dam was a G3 winner and produced a stakes winner. Even with all that distance pedigree, the work was an outstanding 21.0.
That kind of work comes at a cost. The filly went for $110,000 or 5.5x the stud fee.
In the real world the buyer was Ralph Evans, who ran campaigned Upstart to a great career.
I am running out of cute names, let’s call her:
Quixote’s Music
