So this isn't really a well-known mare, but I thought this was cool.
Verdana Bold (Rahy x True Legacy, by A.P. Indy) was a Grade 3 winner up at Woodbine back in '08. Her first foal, Copperplate (by Curlin), is raced by the partnership I'm involved in. He was only doing so-so at Churchill, Keeneland, Fair Grounds, Ellis, etc., so they decided "what the hell" and called his dam's trainer up at Woodbine. He agreed to take him, so Copperplate was shipped up north and has won both of his starts up there, an AOC in September and an allowance just yesterday--some of the guy's staff even worked with his dam.
Looks like mama has rubbed off on him
And they are both named after fonts, for any other word nerds out there

Here's one I've been waiting for to hit the work tab:
