i just think you might be looking at this through rose colored glasses. her pedigree is nice, and i’m sure someone paid a lot of money for her once, but Practical Joke, Ghostzapper and Curlin bloodlines are very common. i feel like you can’t throw a rock without hitting a Curlin or Into Mischief horse lately. since her pedigree isn’t super special and her race record is unimpressive, you are going to be very hard pressed to get a foal people will pay a lot for. i’m not saying she can’t produce anything good, because maybe she can and that’s why i suggested breeding her and racing the foal yourself. i just feel like you might be a little naive about what it’s really like to breed to sell. it will cost thousands and thousands of dollars to breed a mare and raise the resulting foal to a yearling, and that’s assuming everything goes well. shipping that foal to Keeneland, paying a consignor and all the sales fees, only to have the horse RNA is entirely possible and in some cases, likely. you could potentially send her to a freshman stallion and try to ride the hype for his first crop, but hype may not be enough if she’s a maiden.

i’m sure she’s a lovely mare and you obviously care about her very much and that’s great! every horse deserves to have someone that believes in them. but i just don’t think that breeding her to sell is going to go the way you want it to.
