Has sold through Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton multiple times. 4 foals, 3 starters, 2 winners. Last bred this year to Sea Of Secrets, likely at auction because she did not take. Very sweet.

December 2015 Update: We are pleased to announce that Castleton Ranch Horse Rescue has offered permanent sanctuary for Queenie. This sweet old girl was tired. She had been a racehorse, a broodmare, and now, she just gets to me a horse in a pasture with her herd.
