She really stood out to me too, so I'm glad someone mentioned her. There was a recent article interviewing her owners (https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/a ... ong-mares/). I understand wanting to maximize value and selling her in order to support other ventures, but I agree that her import/exports and sale of choice is odd. In 2020 she was imported to the US while in foal to Gleneagles. The filly resulting from that breeding sold this year at Arqana (so the filly was obviously sent to Europe). Then in 2021 Onshore was bred to American Pharoah, then at some point was sent back to Europe since she's currently in foal to Wootton Bassett, and then had to have been brought back to the US, and now is selling at Fasig Tipton.Flanders wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 7:26 pm Hip 216 - Onshore - unraced, young G1 producer(dam of Onesto), in foal to Wootton Bassett. Her dam is a full sister to TWO English Broodmares of the Year, in Hasili and Arrive. Kind of strange to see her in this sale as opposed to the Tattersalls December Mare Sale. But have to imagine she'll bring a fair bit, either going back to Europe or to Japan.
If they knew they were going to sell her this fall/winter I think they would have left in Europe to sell at Tattersalls. So I'm thinking that they brought her back to breed her to someone in the US, then she became a G1 producer and they decided to cash out, but didn't want to ship her back to Europe?
