I need help remembering the name of a tough as nails mare that retired about 7 or 8 years ago. She was bred before she retired and then ran a few more times.

The joke on this forum was that her foal was in the winners circle before even being born. I could be wrong, but I remember her being gray and racing mostly on the east coast circuit…

Her name is on the tip of my tongue but for the life of me I can’t remember it. I wanted to follow up and find out if that foal did become a winner.

Oleksandra raced in foal but that was 3 years ago. She wasn't grey though. The other ones I can think of were way too long ago.

Was it Snow Top Mountain?

Maybe, but I remember that her name was “tougher” if that makes sense, and I think she ran more than once while in foal.

Always feels like the end of an era when big mares are pensioned; it was bittersweet when they pensioned Leslie's Lady and Take Charge Lady, too. It's nice to know that Emma will live out the rest of her days adored by everyone around her!

Take Charge Lady was never pensioned.

I mean they lied and said she was. Until the truth eventually came out but it never came out officially.

Thanks, Flanders. That's what I meant.

So...what actually happened to Take Charge Lady? I do not remember reading details about her passing.

[Northport]

I’m guessing she died before she was pensioned and Coolmore didn’t tell anyone until years after the fact?

I don't remember specifics anymore. I don't think Coolmore ever said anything. Someone was asked and they said that she was fine and pensioned. But there was like a hushed rumor going around that she was actually dead. A few years later someone confirmed she had died in 2018 while foaling and the foal also died.

wow. Sad to know. I was still of the belief that she is alive.

Here is the link to flytothestars someone saying Take Charge Lady was dead. I guess I read someone else she died from foaling complications..... there are just so many rumors surrounding her its hard to remember what is what?

Not too uncommon in this part of the world. There is even a rule stating that a mare can race in foal up to a certain amount of days in foal (sorry I can't remember how many). I've spent days racking my brain for the name of a mare that won a G1 race while in foal and finally found her. The resulting foal was named Sunrise Ruby and never won a race herself.

She had only won one race before getting in foal and then got 3 wins in 5 starts!
