Believed to have been the last to die of her sire's foals, this important matron wove his name into pedigrees. She was a very good producer in her own time and was the direct female ancestress of three runners who were acclaimed as American Horse of the Year in the period prior to the beginning of official voting in 1936. Who was she, and who are her champion descendants?

I believe it was Ballet born in 1871 who was the daughter of Planet. She lived to be 31 and was a direct female line ancestress of Exterminator, Regret, and The Manager who were each considered to be the American Horse of the year in 1922 (Exterminator), 1915 (Regret), and 1912 (The Manager).
