Bred on the same sire/broodmare sire cross that produced the great Forli, Dorine was not far removed from her famous kinsman in ability. While she produced one stakes-winning colt in the United States, her legacy to her breed was passed on through two daughters: Dory, a South American foundation mare, and Grecian Banner, the 1988 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year.

Honors
As an individual
A long-backed chestnut mare with prominent withers and a sharply sloping croup, Dorine had clean legs and excellent muscling down through the gaskins.
As a producer
A Reine-de-Course as designated by pedigree analyst Ellen Parker, Dorine produced eight named foals, four in Argentina and four in the United States. Her American-bred foals all started and won. Her important foals are as follow:
Connections
Dorine was bred by Haras Ojo de Agua and was owned by Stud Ojo de Agua. After producing four foals in Argentina, she was purchased privately by Ogden Phipps in 1970 and imported to the United States along with her colt of that year by Martial (named Law and Order, he never raced). Dorine was boarded at Claiborne Farm for the rest of her life and died there in 1980.
Pedigree notes
Dorine is inbred 4x4 to 1922 Jockey Club Stakes winner Lady Juror and 5x5 to two-time English champion sire Phalaris through the closely related Riot and Fair Trial, both sired on Lady Juror by sons of Phalaris. A full sister to Gran Premio 25 de Mayo winner Doretta and to stakes winner Dorileo, Dorine is out of Doria, a crack sprinter and the winner of 11 Argentine stakes races including the Premio Maipú (now Group 1). Doria, in turn, is a half sister to Donvina (by Pont l'Eveque), second dam of 1975 Vanity Handicap (USA-G1) winner Dulcia, and to Donnetta (by Pont l'Eveque), second dam of 1980 Premio Nacional Ricardo Lyon (CHI-G1) winner Maipon and multiple Uruguayan Group 2 winner Donzettino.
Doria and her siblings were produced from Donatila, whose sire Congreve was a seven-time champion sire and five-time champion broodmare sire in Argentina. The next dam in the tail-female line, Doña Inez, is by 1916 Gran Premio Nacional (Argentine Derby) winner Saint Emilion out of Doña Cecilla, by 1911 Argentine champion sire Pietermaritzburg.
