Sunline's first foal
 
Sunstrike, the first foal of champion racemare Sunline (sire - Rock Of Gibraltar) had her 2nd race start yesterday at Whangarei, NZ. Finished well back (2nd last), dead track. Previous start ran last at Pukekohe, slow track. Let's hope she will improve heaps with age & experience!

Interesting comment pharfromoz. Not heard that before. Whats your basis if you dont mind sharing?

Don't know why, but as a rule, great mares usually don't produce anything outstanding.

I vaguely remember reading something related, every 2nd generation thing, i.e. Sunline’s daughters may produce some good gallopers!?

Opinion shared by Lee Freedman. He believes Makybe Diva is more likely to star as a grand dam.
