Paramount Offers Promising Broodmare Prospects

During the second and final day of Keeneland’s January Horses of All Ages Sale, Paramount Sales will offer two broodmare prospects out of grade 1-winning dams—Flawless Quality (Hip 706) and Legacy Defined (Hip 783). Legacy Defined is by the great broodmare sire Uncle Mo, and out of the Tiznow mare Tiz Miz Sue, a multiple graded stakes winner and millionaire. Her most notable win came in the 2013 Ogden Phipps Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park. Tiz Miz Sue is the dam of seven other horses to race, six of them winners, including a full sister to Legacy Defined, Serein, who was third in the 2020 U.A.E. Oaks (G3), and the multiple stakes-placed Surfer Dude (Curlin). "I think she'll be very well-received," said Paramount Sales' Paddy Campion about Legacy Defined. "There's a very hot commodity for Uncle Mo mares. Two dams on the page with plenty of black type. "I was just looking at some standouts in 2025 for progeny of daughters of Uncle Mo, like Journalism, Thorpedo Anna, and Nitrogen." Lesley Campion said the mare has been very popular amongst prospective buyers. "She's a big scopey filly, with a lot of quality, very correct," she said. "Good bone, straightforward type. You're not limited to who you can breed her to." Flawless Quality, a 5-year-old daughter of Quality Road, was bred in Kentucky by Charles Fipke and is out of the Giant’s Causeway mare Internally Flawless, who won the 2009 Del Mar Oaks (G1). She is a half sister to stakes winner Internal Bourbon. "She is a good-sized, correct filly," Lesley Campion said. "The pedigree is quite exciting so far, as she has a 2-year-old half brother by Gun Runner, and the mare is being bred back to Gun Runner. It's a lovely producing family that is young and active. "Her half sister, Internal Bourbon, has a just-turned-3-year-old Gun Runner filly (Guns N Bourbon). The bases are quite loaded on that family." The market for well-bred broodmare prospects continues to be in high demand as the breeding stock sales near the end of the season. "Certainly, November (Sale) has carried over; the market is very strong," she said. "What you're appraising in the back walking ring is breezing past what you thought it would bring. It is definitely a seller's market."
