00:00After the success of her brilliant fillies Mollithot and Julia Shining, Stone Street's

00:07Dreaming of Julia was named 2022 Broodmare of the Year.

00:11We stopped by Stone Street to speak with Barbara Banke about what makes this mare so special,

00:16and we visited Dreaming of Julia herself and a few of her young, unraced fillies in the

00:20pipeline.

00:22Dreaming of Julia was beautiful since day one.

00:25When she was born, she was the product of a grade one winning mare, Dream Rush, who

00:31won the test and other races in New York, and she was elegant looking.

00:38She looked like a painting.

00:40And she stayed that way her entire career, still is.

00:45I have a tradition.

00:47My birthday's at the end of August, and of course the sales are in August and September,

00:52so I'll come in and say, who am I going to give myself for my birthday?

00:58And that year she was the obvious choice.

01:01She's brilliant, brilliantly fast, and had a tremendous stride, really long stride, just

01:08ate up the ground, great mind, nicest horse in the world, and all of those things combined

01:16to make her a great, great racehorse.

01:18The Gulfstream Oaks was really nice when she won by something like 20 lengths, and

01:24we had expected her to win, but we didn't expect her to win by that much.

01:28She's going to win by 20!

01:31Dreaming of Julia devastates the Gulfstream Oaks!

01:36Well, Dreaming of Julia has produced beautiful filly after beautiful filly, and of course

01:41the great Malathot, who won I don't know how many grade ones.

01:46She was one that we had decided, well, we need to sell something, and so we did sell

01:51her, and after we sold her and her career, we said, we're not going to sell any more

01:57fillies out of Dreaming of Julia.

02:01So we had Julia Shining, who is a fantastic horse, and didn't quite have enough points

02:11to get in the Kentucky Oaks, but she's a great racehorse as well.

02:17Dreaming of Julia has a two-year-old filly by Madari Adoro, who is spectacular, and she's

02:23now with Todd Pletcher, who's had, now this will be the fourth filly from Dreaming of

02:30Julia, and she looks great.

02:34The yearling is spectacular.

02:36Once again, she's not in the sale.

02:39She'll be going to Ocala for training.

02:42She's a Curlin, like Malathot, like Julia Shining, and now she has a weanling by Into

02:49Mischief.

02:50I don't know how Into Mischief snuck in there, but this one looks spectacular as well.

02:56One of these days, we might even get a colt, but who knows?

03:01Dreaming of Julia is our top mare.

03:05We look forward to seeing her baby, and she does not disappoint.

03:10So every year, there's something really special from that mare.

03:15We always thought that she should be considered as Broodmare of the Year, just on the basis

03:20of Malathot, but with Julia Shining and the ones to follow, she's definitely Broodmare

03:28of the Year, Broodmare of the Decade.
