Out of 10 foals, seven are winners. Skyway Freakshow is her first Indiana sired product and she sells as Hip No. 358.
Also in the pacing pedigree is a first foal from the Well Said mare Verbosa Hanover, who is a half sister to the standout Vertigo Hanover, a Grand Circuit winning son of The Panderosa with a mark of 1:50.1 and more than $350,000 on his card. The family also includes Voracious Hanover (1:51.0, $299,000) and Viper Hanover (1:50.1, $212,000). The third dam is equally impressive with numerous winners with black type statistics. Skyway Van Gogh, a son of JK Endofanera, sells as Hip 108.
