Broodmare of the year dark horse sleeper?
I nominate a daughter of Housebuster named Calculating Lady for this honor. She wasn't much as a race horse, she made just one lifetime start and was beaten 40 lengths and regestered a Beyer of -0.
However, as a broodmare, she's been rock solid.
* first foal: Calculating Man (sired by Cozar) was 2-for-2 lifetime on synthetic tracks. Won an alw race at Turfway Park at 6/1 - and ended his career with a 93 Beyer win in a 54K alw race win at Keeneland in track record time at 33/1 odds. Sadly, died after the race.
* second foal: Calculating Jimmy (sired by Cozar) He's made over 142K in earnings and just missed winning a 39K alw race tonight.
* Third foal: Call Me Cal (sired by Cozar) Broke his maiden in a MSW race at Presque Isle at 32/1 odds ... he's made over 100K in earnings.
Breed the worst you have (or in this trainers case - everything you have) to the rare ungelded former 5K claimer turned best house sire you can afford - and get runners.
