You've got to be pretty happy if you're bringing a Bernardini to the sale with Sheik Mo in town.

I loved Chilli Cat thought she had a real future ,but then again I love all the Phipps stock. Anyway they decided to cull Chilli Cat and whoever bought her (I think 600k) is getting a payday today.

I think this filly is gorgeous:
