THE RACEHORSES #12: No.092 
This is actually another Gold Allure kid, but this time a filly bought through Carrot Club, and with Agua De Beber as the dam. Having just written about Gold Allure only yesterday, there's little point in going over his details again, but Agua De Beber is a real wildcard, with no race record of her own, and this being her first foal, so nothing to judge her by there either.

However, Agua De Beber can boast Kurofune as her sire (a dirt racing legend, with Deputy Minister as his grandsire, and Roberto and Never Bend blood in the dam's DNA make-up), plus Tony Bin as the damsire. As a dirt racer in the NAR arena, the bloodlines are full of potential, and I like these untried mares, as one never knows what's going to happen - she may produce something exceptional, or something that simply makes up the numbers. But if Agua De Beber gives the world a brilliant performer, you can guarantee her next foal won't be as reasonably priced as this one was, and the gamble will have paid off handsomely... 

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see what name people come up with for this little lady, given the exotic moniker of her mother. One thing's for sure, it's bound to be more inventive than anything I'd put forward - my father and I have a reputation for having a distinct lack of imagination when it comes to naming animals!
