So, the farm that owned Better than Honour decided to focus their work on race-horse development, so they made an agreement to disperse their broodmares. Well, among their herd, they had Better than Honour, Kentucky Broodmare of the Year who is the mother of Casino Drive and the mother of back-to-back Belmont Stakes winners Jazil and Rags to Riches. Mind you, Rags was the first filly to win the Belmont in 105 years! Anyway, she went in the Fasig-Tipton November Sale and she sold to the fellow who wanted to keep her from this dispersal for $14million. Everyone interviewed said that she is worth every penny. She is leaving a genetic heritage which will run like a river through the thoroughbred pedigree -- a blue, blue, royal blue hen. Namaste!
