Hip 027 - Summer Romance
b. f. by DW Flamekissed, out of Ashanti
IF to Popcorn Blitz

Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask for quiet in the ring. Please hold any and all applause until the mare has left the ring. Our next offering is Summer Romance, consigned by Battle Brook Stable. On the screen you can see her in her final start, winning the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf Sprint in commanding form. Her racing exploits alone are enough to get the blood pumping, with ten wins in her final season, eight of those being HOTY* races. She didn't finish out of the money all season. However, this mare isn't only her racing exploits, not in the least. Through her sire, Summer Romance is half to Breeders' Cup and classic winner Eternally Smoldering, excellent turf runner Refute, Breeders' Cup winner Wild Kiss, Ground Zero, and Incineration. Her dam's side finds her half to classic winner Cascabel, Dirt Horse of the Year and Dirt Male of the Year Ashes to Ashes, classic winner Justa Muffin, This Means War, and Fusillade. Seeing a trend? As if that's not enough, this exceptionally bred and raced mare is being offered confirmed in foal to rising stallion Popcorn Blitz, who has sired such progeny as grade one winners Fusillade and Swing Dancer and good sprinting colt The Good Fight, who finished most recently second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint and is very well poised to start strongly in the Sprinter Triple Crown later this year. If I haven't sold you on this hip yet, there's nothing more I can do for you.

Let's open up the bidding on Summer Romance at a well-earned $600,000!
