Aneighzing Grace $2500 - 2008 chestnut Thoroughbred yearling. This beautiful Thoroughbred filly is from a fantastic family. She is from the 2nd crop of her sire, Montbretia, a winning son of Meadowlake who is out of a stakes placed full sister to champion Cherokee Run. Her dam, S. M. Fran, is a daughter of Dr. Carter and is out of an In Reality mare. There is black type throughout Grace's catalog page including a half brother to her first dam who earned nearly $600,000. Grace is a half sister to multiple winners. Grace toe's out on her right front. She was born straight but started turning out at about 3 months of age. We are keeping a shoe on that foot and it is improving as her chest widens out. The leg turns from the shoulder down, so it should continue to improve as her elbow is pushed out by her widening chest, but I do not know that she will ever be 100% straight. As one vet who looked at her said, he has seen horses with much worse run just fine and he is not concerned about her going to the track, but it is a definite conformation flaw. Grace has the sweetest disposition and loves people, but she is the boss in her field, even over the yearling colts. She has no vices and is easy to handle and work around.
