Violet's sweetly named relatives!


Violet has some sweet names in her family tree. In her Red God line, she has an 1875 filly named Mint Sauce who was bred to Marcion to produce the 1895 filly, Mintcake. Mintcake was bred to Spendthrift's son, Kingston, to produce the 1902 colt, Wild Mint, who was bred to Pink Domino to produce the 1908 filly, Sweepaway, who was bred to the Belmont Stakes winning, Hall of Fame champion, Peter Pan. I just love those names -- Mint Sauce, Mintcake, Wild Mint, Sweepaway!!! Total sweetness.
