"She was a beautiful physical, which are selling across the board right now whether it's mares, yearlings, or foals; you really have to have a good physical," Hunter Simms, who signed the ticket on behalf of Silesia’s behalf, told Blood-Horse. "Being in foal to Authentic was very attractive to us. Her race record makes her the whole package and what we are looking for."
