"GENETIC GEM"
Iaround wasn't much of a race mare but made up for her shortcomings as a broodmare. Although she produced only one minor stakes winner, she left a slew of good broodmare daughters who have helped to spread her influence far and wide, particularly through the descendants of her granddaughter Sookera.
Race record
8 starts, 1 win, 0 seconds, 0 thirds, US$2,850
As an individual
A bay mare, Iaround was medium-sized and correct.
As a producer
Iaround produced 10 named foals; all 10 started and eight won. Her important foals are as follow:
Connections
Iaround was bred and owned by Harry Isaacs' Brookfield Farms.There is no report of her after she slipped her foal for 1977.
Pedigree notes
Iaround's pedigree is outcrossed through five generations. She is a half sister to 1959 Paumonok Handicap winner Isendu (by Inyureye), to multiple stakes winner Ifabody (by Brookfield) and to Ironically (by Intent), whose multiple stakes-winning daughter Imsodear (by Chieftain) produced 1975 American champion 2-year-old filly Dearly Precious (by Dr. Fager) and Grade 3 winner Immense (by Roberto). Through Imsodear, Ironically is also the third dam of multiple Grade 2 winner Mariah's Storm, French Group 2 winner Panoramic and Grade 3 winner Mister Modesty. Through another daughter, Isatopper (by Rasper II), Ironically is the second dam of Grade 3 winner I'm On Top and the third dam of 1982 Oaks d'Italia (ITY-G1) winner Ilenia.
Returning to Iaround, she is also a half sister to Iaway (by Intent), dam of stakes winner Cracker Bon Bon (by Kirrary) and second dam of Grade 2 winner Peanut Butter Onit. In addition, Iaround is a half sister to Is Certain (by No Robbery), dam of Grade 3 winner Surely Royal (by Young Emperor) and Grade 2-placed stakes winner In True Form (by Imasmartee) and third dam of 2008 Ancient Title Breeders' Cup Sprint Stakes (USA-G1) winner Cost of Freedom, Grade 2 winner Who Did It and Run, and multiple Grade 3 winner Truly a Judge.
Iaround and her siblings were produced from the good sprint mare Itsabet (by Heliopolis), a winner of four stakes races. Itsabet, in turn, was produced from the unraced Rolled Stocking mare Jayjean, a half sister to 1954 Ashland Stakes winner and multiple stakes producer Jenjay (by Brookfield), multiple stakes winner Mityme (by Menow), stakes winner Coliseo (by Amphitheatre) and stakes producers Genie Ball (by Balladier) and Ragatan (by Questionnaire).

As a producer
Iaround produced 10 named foals; all 10 started and eight won. Her important foals are as follow:
- Irule (1968, by Young Emperor) won four of her 17 starts. From just three foals, she produced 1979 Agua Caliente Gold Cup Handicap winner Young Spirit (by Bold Bidder) and 1977 Irish champion 2-year-old filly Sookera (by Roberto). Through Sookera, she is the second dam of 1995 Nunthorpe Stakes (ENG-G1) winner So Factual and Group 3 winner Bold Fact and the third dam of Italian Group 3 winner Thousla Rock and English Broodmares of the Year Hasili (2006) and Arrive (2008).
- I Encompass (1970, by No Robbery) won seven of her 28 races. She is the dam of 1982 Nashua Stakes (USA-G3) winner I Enclose (by Cormorant) and juvenile stakes winner I Take All (by Imasmartee).
- I'm a Pleasure (1971, by What a Pleasure) won eight of 42 starts and placed in the 1973 Selima Stakes (USA-G1) and Frizette Stakes (USA-G1). She is the dam of 1984 Jerome Handicap (USA-G1) winner Is Your Pleasure (by Accipiter) and is the second dam of multiple Brazilian Group 1 winner Little Baby Bear, 2000 Hollywood Starlet Stakes (USA-G1) winner I Believe In You and Grade 3 winner First American; the last-named horse was a sire of some importance in Brazil. I'm a Pleasure is also the third dam of South African Group 2 winner Waywest Goddess and multiple Grade 2 winner Dry Martini.
- I Assume (1972, by Young Emperor) failed to win in 14 tries but is the dam of stakes winner Nile Empress (by Upper Nile). She is also the third dam of multiple Australian Group 1 winner Press Statement, 2004 Avondale Gold Cup Stakes (NZ-G1) winner The Mighty Lions and 2010 BRC T. J. Smith Stakes (AUS-G1) winner Pressday.
