Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 25, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 25, 2019 Champion grass mare Possibly Perfect (Northern Baby– Avasand, by Avatar) passed away Tuesday at age 29 due to the infirmities of old age, reported Jackie Ramos of Ashleigh Stud, where the mare was born, raised and retired. Kicking off her career in France, the Mr. & Mrs. Robert Witt homebred was sent Stateside in 1993 and placed in the care of Bobby Frankel. The bay proved a force to be reckoned with in America, winning the 1993 GI Yellow Ribbon S., the 1994 GI Santa Ana H. and GI Santa Barbara H, and the 1995 GI Gamely H., GI Ramona H. and GI Beverly D S. Possibly Perfect took home the Eclipse Award at the end of that 1995 season, which was also the end of her career. Possibly Perfect is the dam of nine foals with four winners from eight to race. Her best progeny on the racetrack was her first foal Promontory Gold (Gone West), who won Belmont’s GIII Hill Prince S. in 2000. She had a few sales ring successes with her second foal Dubai Status (Seeking the Gold) summoning $700,000 as a yearling at the 2000 Keeneland July Sale; and her third foal Perfect World (Gone West); selling for $650,000 in foal to Giant’s Causeway at the 2005 Keeneland November Sale.
