The Z fans maybe saying that this is unfair due to the fact Rachel will likely not be a mother again. That is likely true, but the fact is Rachel's Valentina is already a G1 winner.Broodmare comparison:— DRF Formulator (@DRFFormulator) February 23, 2016

That got me thinking further. Many times, an Eclipse winning filly and/or mare doesn't become a successful broodmares, however sometimes you can find a special offspring. To figure this out I have complied a list of Older Female, 3yo Filly and Turf Female winners since 1997 till 2007 (the year before Zenyatta won her first Eclipse and 2 years before Rachel won her HOY honors) to see how they have done as broodmares.
The reason I chose these three divisions is that Older Female was Z's awards, 3yo Filly being Rachel's best year on the track and Turf Female just to see how well they have done in comparison to the two dirt oriented catagories. Please note not every foal will be listed, just the top earner that is listed on Pedigree Query and checked on Equibase (since it's more accurate). If needed, I will also check Racing Post.
Also horses who won the award multiple times the foal info will be listed only once, but their names will be listed for continutiy reasons for each year they won an award. Everything is listed by year. With that here they are:
