Broodmares
“In that uplifting ritual of seeking to breed a nobler member of an already noble breed,
we chance upon the exceptional.
The jargon of the Turf styles them first as producers, then stakes producers,
then blue hens. Some few give their genes to prosperity,
and in so doing command an enduring reverence.”
(Edward Bowen quoted in Matriarchs, Great Mares of the 20th Century)
