Trying to uncover the strategies behind Group One, State Champion, or Sale Race breeders can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Yet, every now and then, the evidence is laid out clearly — pedigrees, performance, and proven crosses aligned in a way that gives both confidence and clarity.
That’s exactly what the Baring Bloodstock QBRED Reduction Sale represents: a showcase of mares bred with precision, backed by data, and carrying foals by the most influential stallions of our time.
Highlights from the Draft
- Lot 15 – Allspark (IF Stay Hungry): A Western Terror mare from the famed U5 family of Sweet Lou, Captain Crunch, and Bettor Sweet. This is the same cross that produced Hunger Strike, the 2024 Sales Race winner with earnings already north of $140,000.
- Lot 16 – Dance With Sombody (IF Always B Miki): A Somebeachsomewhere daughter tracing directly to Rich N Elegant, U20 Family, one of the greatest broodmares in history. She produced Hall of Famer Rocknroll Hanover ($3,069,093), Royal Flush Hanover ($2,153,893), Red River Hanover ($1,394,626), and more. The blueprint here is undeniable — 37 of the top 42 performers from Somebeach mares were bred exactly this way.
- Lot 17 – Dahrlinn (IF Always B Miki): A Sweet Lou mare from his own powerful U5 family. Always B Miki is already proving Lou’s best match, highlighted by his $758,102 earner Direction
- Lot 18 – Spirit Of Fun (IF Art Major): Already the dam of almost four six-figure winners ($140K, $117K, $102K, $97K), she is from the Lady Antrim (N31/Q1) family — the same maternal line as Spankem ($1,868,078), None Bettor ($1,279,765), Ohoka Punter ($1,175,322), and Colt Thirty One ($1,087,535).
- Lot 19 – Vista Bella (IF Art Major): A proven producer of three winners, including $138K, $100K, and $46K earners. From the U8 family of Gallo Blue Chip ($4,260,957), her page also features Voelz Hanover ($1,755,254) and Hypnotic Blue Chip ($1,794,973).
- Lot 20 – Half Moon Bromac (IF Bettors Wish): A Cullen mare with family ties to Bay of Biscay ($1,838,830) and Beach Towel ($2,570,357). Bettors Wish is screaming out for mares like this, with two of his top three performers out of Direct Scooter-line mares.
- Lot 21 – Reaza Grunter (IF Bettors Wish): The fastest Cullen mare ever in the Southern Hemisphere. This cross of his father has already produced the majority of Cullen’s best broodmare credits — and it’s hard to see it being challenged any time soon.
- Lot 22 – Chevrons Reward (IF Captaintreacherous): A 19-time winner in 1:51.1, this Rocknroll Hanover mare comes from the U133 family of Hall of Famer Jate Lobell ($2,231,402). Captaintreacherous has already sired stars like Rocknificent ($1,184,514), bred on this exact pattern.
- Lot 23 – New York Fashion (IF Confederate): A Group 1-winning mare from the N21 family, which recently produced Victorian star Maajida ($684,518). Confederate himself hails from the mighty U6 family of Nihilator and Albatross.
- Lot 24 – Charms On A Roll (IF Huntsville): A Heaven mare, sister to Colt Thirty One ($1,087,535) and dam of 2YO Australian Pacing Filly of the Year Cool And Classy. Huntsville has already sired The Last Martini ($965,491 from just 17 starts) from a Heaven mare.
- Lot 25 – Tori Artist (IF Huntsville): A Western Terror mare from the powerhouse U7 family that produced Captaintreacherous, Art Major, American Ideal, Bettors Wish, and Tall Dark Stranger. A family of stallion-makers.
- Lot 26 – Tanamay (IF Rock N Roll Heaven): From the same N77 family as modern-day giants Leap To Fame ($4,600,000+) and Swayzee ($2,243,143). This mating is right at the cutting edge of commercial crosses.
