UPDATE 3/5/20: Justgimmeakiss checked in foal to Weigelia.

Why We Bought This Horse

• This is a 2020 Broodmare Program offering and is subject to the WVS Broodmare Program Addendum to the Wasabi Ventures Stables Thoroughbred Management Agreement.
• Justgimmeeakiss is a 8 YO Pennsylvania-bred mare who hit the board in nearly half of her career starts and has earned nearly $200,000 in lifetime earnings.  
• Justgimmeeakiss ’s sire, Congrats, is a perennial top 10 sire.  Justgimmeeakiss’s dam is the black type winner and producer, Passionate Bird.  She is the half to the black-type placed Counterparty   With a family like this and her physical presence, you understand why Justgimmeeakiss cost $54,000 as a yearling.
• She will be a Maryland-based broodmare located at St. Omer's Farm and will be looking to be covered by Weigelia in 2020.  

Tidbits from the Pedigree

Justgimmeakiss was a hard-knocking, versatile racemare who won eight of 70 lifetime starts, and finished 2nd or 3rd in 21 more races, earning a total of $191,351.  Her eight victories came on turf and dirt (wet and fast), from 5 furlongs to 1-1/16 miles, including in allowance company, and she ran from 2YO through 8YO.

Justgimmeakiss is a daughter of the Kentucky stalwart Congrats, himself a graded stakes winner and full-brother to leading sire Flatter, both of them by the great A.P. Indy and out of the well-bred Mr. Prospector mare Praise.  Justgimmeakiss is a half-sister to the stakes-placed winner Counterparty (now a broodmare getting excellent chances in Kentucky), and her dam is Passionate Bird, a multiple stakes winner of 10 races and $275,399 who is herself a half-sister to multiple stakes winner Lotta Lovin, stakes-placed winner Pretty Miss Trippi (dam of a stakes-placed winner herself), and four more winners -- so it's a classy, blue-collar family through-and-through, with plenty of winners all over the page.

Along with her racetrack success and strong pedigree, Justgimmeakiss also brings to the table a top-notch physical:  she is a big, leggy, correct mare with plenty of bone and substance -- just the type to produce strong, athletic foals to take to the sales ring or the racetrack.
