PISGAH PIKE, 2022, 17h, gray filly

When we first met Pisgah, we thought maybe we wouldn’t have to do a write-up for her as our newest volunteer was immediately smitten! We heard that this big, friendly filly is quiet in her stall, good to groom, has no vices, and “likes carrots”. And that’s what we observed. Her trainer mentioned that her only quirk is sometimes she seems to feel more comfortable with a nice wide turn to enter through her stall door. In person, she was stunning with a very pretty, feminine head. Tall and solid, with a long shoulder, deep body, and powerful hindquarters, the overall impression is that of a big, strong, athletic filly. Only three, it looks like she’s in a growth spurt and she still has some growing to do for her front end to catch up. She was very well behaved during her jog video and showed athletic and springy movement. She has only four starts, but is yet to be a winner. We were told that there aren’t any physical issues, she’s “just slow”. As a result, even after a recent second place finish, her connections have decided not to continue racing her as, in their opinion, Pisgah clearly wants to do something else. This big, young, lightly raced filly is a blank canvas that we could imagine excelling in many different disciplines. Turn her out for a bit, let her finish growing, and next year you’ll have a gorgeous young prospect to start! She is also an exceptional broodmare prospect for racing or sport horse breeding. She is by Blame, out of a Bernardi mare. These are two of the best brrodmare sires, whose daughters are consistently producing top runners. And her dam is a half sister to three graded stakes winners and to a producer of graded stakes winners. Her pedigree is also replete with top sport horse sire lines. Blame is from the Arch/Roberto line, with a dam by Seeking the Gold. Pisgah Pike’s dam line includes Fappiano and Caro.
