A 2017 filly that caught my eye in a sales catalog has been named.

Unbridled Huntress, Empire Maker x Hunter’s Mark by Titus Livius. Hunter’s Mark is a half-sister to King Kamehameha and The Deputy, and her sire Titus Livius is a MGSW. She looks a lot like Empire Maker.

She was bought by Ruis Racing for $125K, who in turn gave her a rather lame name. She’s entered to make her first start at Del Mar on Monday in Race 8.

May she run like the wind regardless.

I wonder if she has legs like a supermodel then :P

It's nice to see them trying to divert from the more obvious choices though!

As long as they avoid the horrible facebook recommendations like Zen D'Oro or Medagliayatta I'll be happy :lol: .

They've been pretty original with their names thus far... I didn't like Cozmic One or Ziconic, but at least they're... unique.

At least it’s not Jess’s Dream or Rachel’s Valentina.

I’ve noticed there’ll be this big “name the foal” internet contest and then the winner will be like “Dream’s Moon” or some other Thoroughbred book series-esque name.

I never had a problem with Jess's Dream and Rachel's Valentina.
I like those both better than Beholder's colt's name....

It's supposed to say 2016 filly instead of 2017. I guess I didn't notice it at the time.

If she is Germany, I am assuming/hoping she is with Peter Schiergen. Interesting that Nothing But Dreams went to Roger Varian, I totally missed that.
