You know about the wonderful stallions and geldings who call Old Friends home, but you may be surprised to learn that we have been home to many amazing mares.
Old Friends started with a mare named Narrow Escape, who would go on to form the foundation of a small but accomplished group of mares who have called Old Friends home. At 21, the former allowance horse ended up in the sales ring at the 2004 Fasig-Tipton February Sale. When she failed to meet her $1,000 reserve, we rushed to make her our principal retiree. Not only was she a daughter of the ill-fated Exceller, but her name also reflected the possible destiny of future paddock-mates.
Eclipse Award winner, Hidden Lake; Silver Charm’s dam, Bonnie’s Poker; $2.2 million broodmare Saudi Poetry; Gold Round, a full sister to 3-time Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Goldikova; and Hay Jude, dam of Breeders’ Cup Turf Champ Little Mike are just a few of the notable mares we’ve come to know and love. The Old girlFriends Society is all about celebrating these wonderful girls.
