Some foals are born with expectations. Others are born with opportunity. This c**t has both. By Spooks Gotta Whiz and out of Xtra Vintagemahogany (LTE $67,500), a mare whose talent and success made her a standout in the show pen.
With this pedigree, this kind of look, and this much natural presence, we're excited to watch Denali's story unfold.
