Description

A ¾ sister to multiple group 1 winning mare SNAPDANCER who only recently was sold for 3.2 Million making her one of the most valuable mares of 2023 and she won over 2 million in prize money.

Mission To Dance is out of a Galileo mare and we all know how good Galileo mares are as broodmare prospects, physically she is not unlike her older ¾ sister and will keep developing into a powerhouse when she is fully mature.

Mission To Dance had a late start to her career after being broken in as a 2 year old before being purchased to race by Snapdancers ownership group. She was really starting to hit her straps over recent weeks and Dave Eustice was getting very excited about her race track career unfolding as we moved forward but a week away from her main trial this time in she sustained a tendon injury and with the advice from vets have retired her.

Mission To Dane will be a welcome addition to anyone looking for a nice broodmare especially being so closely related to SNAPDANCER
