This month we wanted to feature one of our retired mares that, certainly, deserves some recognition. The 23-year-old Winning Missbrenda, is one our last surviving American Winner sired broodmares. No slouch on the track, "Brenda" earned more than $100,000 and won a mark of 1:57.4.

She lived up to her real potential as a broodmare, foaling 11 babies with earnings over $3.1 million, including Win Missy B (1:52, $1,599,436) and Winning Mister (1:51.3, $1,116,484).

Preferring the company of other horses over people, she's living her best life as a cantankerous old lady in a field of other retired mares. We love you, Brenda!!
