Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

I'm currently compiling a list of the best active broodmares located (or primarily located) in North America, Europe, and Japan. The mares I'm putting on these lists are either mares with 3+ GSWs or mares with 2 G1Ws among their productions

I'm only adding active mares to these lists, so it's a bit slower of a process going through and verifying if they're still producing or not. If anyone has any mares from these regions that they'd like to offer up for my lists, that'd be great! It can include mares who are still being bred but have been barren or slipped the last few seasons, as long as they are still trying with her.

Thank you!

Also feel free to use this as a place to discuss some of the industry's most consistent/attention-worthy mares, I love when the girls get the attention they deserve (Including pensioners)!

Justwhistledixie, Catch the Moon, and Dream of Summer are probably the biggest 3 that come to mind. Charming, Serena's Cat, and Littleprincessemma are up there as well.

In Japan:

Cesario
Halwa Sweet
Loves Only Me
Chronologist

There must be others but they are the first that I thought about

Cesario passed away so she isnt an active producer.

Ireland:
You'resothrilling
Prudenzia
Green Room
Polished Gem
Alpha Lupi
Hveger

England:
Shastye
Dar Re Mi
Rumh

Is Letgomyecho still alive?

There's also Mary's Follies - Regal Glory, Cafe Pharoah, Night Prowler.

I had most of these down, but there were a couple I could add. Thanks for the help so far, everyone!

Does anyone know the status of Holy Moon (IRE) and Butterfly Cove (USA)? I assume they're either pensioned or deceased, but not certain

Green Room (by Theatrical) has a 2022 colt by Waldgeist.
Polished Gem was bred in 2020 for a 2021(didn't have a foal). No one posted a 2021 breeding but doesn't mean she wasn't bred. There isn't an easy way to check EU breedings as there is with NA.

These are who I currently have down for each region, if any of these mares are pensioned or deceased please lmk!

Also, if you happen to know when the European mares were last bred, that'd also help!

Marion Ravenwood (dam of G1SWs Nest and Idol) was bred for 2022

Mining My Own would be another. She had Mine that Bird and Dullahan

A few others:
USA: Liscanna (dam of Brave Anna and Hit It a Bomb, due this year to Justify), Loving Vindication (dam of Wonder Gadot and Hard Not to Love, due this year to Medaglia d'Oro), Shandra Smiles (dam of Smiling Tiger and She's a Tiger, she was bred to Nyquist for a 2021 foal but I can't find anything since?), Summer Raven (produced a colt in 2020, can't find anything since).
Europe: Remember When (not sure if alive/still producing).

Dream Rush (if she counts, dam of G1 winner Dreaming of Julia, GSW Dream Pauline & SW + sire Atreides)
Goldfield (technically not a producer of two G1 winners but G1 placed Valadorna, G1 winner Complexity, and has a multiple stakes winner in Japan)
Above Perfection (Always Dreaming & Hot Dixie Chick)
Appealing Zophie is close (Tapwrit, GSW Ride a Comet, and SW Inject)
Letgomyecho (I think she’s still being bred, last foal was 2020. G1 winners Echo Zulu and Echo Town, GSW J Boys Echo)

Letgomyecho died after foaling her American Pharoah

North America - Mining My Own, Marion Ravenwood, Liscanna, Shandra Smiles, Summer Raven all added, thank you guys!

Europe - Added Remember When for now unless someone can verify her being pensioned/deceased


I thought I read something about Above Perfection passing away, was that a different mare?

Alright, that's what I thought. Had me worried I was mixing mares up there for a moment

Spanish Bunny is knocking on the door of making your list - she has had Spanish Loveaffair who was GSP (last raced in October 2021, not sure if she's retired); Spanish Queen (G1W); and she has currently undefeated 3-year-old Spendarella (G2W).
