After failing to win during her racing career, the subject of this week's challenge got off to an inauspicious start to her breeding career as her first foal ended up being destroyed and her second was so undersized that it was not considered worth nominating to any important juvenile races. By the time she was 12, our heroine had also gone blind in one eye and suffered a nearly-fatal run-in with a tree in her paddock.

Who was she, and who were the breeders who were the major beneficiaries of her treasure trove?
