Family 25
While Hatoof lacked the sheer brilliance of the very best of her European contemporaries, she was nonetheless a high-class race mare who was twice a divisional highweight in France and was also a champion in the United States, as well as a Classic winner in England. She was less successful as a broodmare than as a racer.
