I love this mare ! She is an excellent prospect ! Also, there is a sentimental angle to this broodmare .

My first broodmare , Wasted Words , is from the same female family as Minado . Wasted Words 4th dam was Miss Carmie :)

Dam, Minifa, ran 5 times with a 2nd and 3rd at 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 M-charts suggest that she had't much ability...Minado's Lion Heart and Smoke Glacken brought 50 and 65K respectively-quite decent prices. Minado herself was unraced and her only runner is certainly cheap. So, at least on the surface, Minado seems an unlikely candidate to produce good runners and, if true, her produces' future sales appeal is very questionable, even should she and they be lookers. I feel she's worth less than Bluegrass Cat's stud fee.

When I saw her pedigree, my first thoughtt was 'Big Brown'. True Nicks gives that match an A+, but he stands for $55,000. At this point in her broodmare career, that wouldn't make much sense. But Boundary has some other sons at stud that might work out better. Pomeroy stands for $5,000 and he has winners in his first crop of 2 year olds. Or another one closer to home is Straight Line. I actually like him better because it brings in Strawberry Road. What does that sound like?
