A very quick post with photos from this afternoon of Barbara Hunter’s unraced homebred broodmare Motokiks (Storm Cat -- Matoki, by Hail to Reason) and her best daughters -- the newly retired Graded stakes winners Keertana and Snow Top Mountain (who earned black type while racing in foal this year), and another daughter, the winning mare Whitefish.
Bonus: a couple of cute foal pictures!

| Snow Top Mountain (Najran - Motokiks), the winner of two Grade 3 races and $525,303. She was second by a neck in the Modesty H.-G3 on July 14 -- while in foal to Blame. |

| Motokiks and her 2012 Elusive Quality filly. The 17-year-old mare is in foal to Kitten's Joy for 2013 and has a yearling filly, by Curlin, who will be consigned to the Keeneland September sale by Four Star Sales. |
Wow! This is a great series of photos and most revealing too. Motokiks truly stamps her foals, and those chips off the mama-block can certainly run.
