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)!

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

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.

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?

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).
