Gr3 winner Fair Point begins a new chapter in her broodmare career.
Saturday at Keeneland November, the 11yo Smart Strike mare was acquired by Blazing Forest Stable for $80,000 out of Claiborne Farm's Book 3 consignment.
Bred in partnership by Sam-Son & WinStar Farms, the daughter of Smart Strike was a $310,000 September yearling purchase by Stuart Janney.
Her dam Fair Rose (Harlan's Holiday) was one of 11 winners out of Elrose, a Deputy Minister 1/2 sister to Silver Charm, and 1/2 sister to Smart Strike's Gr3-winning/MGSP daughter Super Freaky.
Brought along with typical patience by Shug McGaughey, Fair Point proved adept sprinting on turf, winning Santa Anita's Gr3 Sen. Ken Maddy S. as a 4yo. She stretched out for her career finale and came a nose shy of adding the Gr3 Cardinal H. in the mud at Churchill Downs, retiring with earnings just shy of $500,000.
While not yet a black-type producer, Fair Point has been afforded a solid chance of emulating Fair Rose. She is dam of the Blame 2yo filly Take Your Point & colts by Street Sense & Justify. She is in foal to Maxfield.
