The horse who just barely beat him, Grand Sonata (Medaglia d'Oro), is pretty blueblooded himself. His dam, A.P. Sonata was a $1.1 mil yearling and half to Wilburn, plus 2 other graded stakes performers and to the dam of Moonlight d'Oro, who runs in the G3 La Canada today. The 2nd dam, GSW Moonlight Sonata, is half to the dam of Abel Tasman, as well.
Siblings (and offspring) of well-known horses

As Time Goes By (AP x Take Charge Lady) runs off to win the G3 La Canada, providing a wonderful day for the great TCL; her daughter, Take Charge Brandi, was the dam of today's Jerome winner, Courvoisier.

Take Charge Brandi is out of Charming (TCL's daughter) though which makes her a half sister to Omaha Beach

While I am so glad that she is still racing, I am surprised as well, but not going to argue

She doesn't have a death certificate at the Jockey Club but that doesn't mean much. Horse Racing Nation lists her as deceased, not sure where they got the info though.

Its on here somewhere, from multiple sources. I'd try to find it but I don't feel like searching through probably hundreds of pages to try and find it. She died in 2018. Coolmore rarely ever does death reports so she wont have one. They also rarely ever say anything about their broodmares passing.
This page says she died of foaling complications in 2018. The foal didn't survive, it would have been a full sibling to As Time Goes By.

I never saw that page before either until I just found it, or heard why she died. Just that she had passed in 2018.sweettalk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 9:45 pmthanks flanders. not sure how i missed that, but i appreciate you getting back to me =)Flanders wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 9:21 pmIts on here somewhere, from multiple sources.

Honestly I can see both sides of the Coolmore not sharing her passing. On one hand, it would be nice for the fans to know. But on the other a lot of people would have been calling them up and saying blah blah blah, she shouldn't have been bred, etc, etc, etc, etc. We've seen it before and I think they experienced it before when Vertigineux died.

I'm glad she's bounced back with some good performances after it looked like she might be done with racing. Of course softer competition helped!
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

Well if Baffert hasn't found one already in the ultra weak western conference, chances are there isn't. Hell, he even found a win and a placing for AP's sister, and she was a far cry from a G1 runner.

I guess selling off a 19 year old mare is usually a wise move even if she is the dam of a champion, but the buyer sure got a bargain for $40,000.Starine wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 10:04 am Munnings Half-Sister To Lookin At Lucky Becomes ‘Rising Star’
