On the track, Hangin Round was just another well-bred failure, unable to earn a single dollar during her short racing career. Her bloodlines came to the fore in the paddocks, where she produced four stakes winners and earned honors as Canada’s Broodmare of the Year in 1980. None of her sons achieved anything as stallions, but all three of her daughters had influence as broodmares.

Pedigree notes
Hangin Round is inbred 4x4 to 1946 French champion sire Prince Rose, a first-rate racehorse whose wins included the 1932 Prix du Président de la République (now the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud). She is a half sister to the minor stakes winner New Pride (by Julmar), dam of stakes winner Baldski’s Pride (by Baldski). Hangin Round is also a half sister to All Puffed Up (by Dynastic), dam of the minor stakes winner Dyna Surge (by Plastic Surgeon).
Hangin Round and her siblings are out of Auburn’s Pride, a daughter of 1954 English champion older male Aureole (by Hyperion) and 1957 Sandown Park Stud Produce Stakes winner Patroness (by 1946 Prix du Jockey Club/French Derby winner and 1960 French champion sire Prince Chevalier). Patroness is a half sister to 1956 Queen Mary Stakes winner Pharsalia (by Panorama), dam of 1963 Princess Margaret Stakes winner High Powered (by Hugh Lupus) and 1970 Chesterfield Cup winner Hearken (by Hethersett) and second dam of Italian Group 3 winner Coltinger; to 1957 Nunthorpe Stakes winner Gratitude (by Golden Cloud); to 1961 Cesarewitch Stakes winner Avon’s Pride (by Arctic Prince); to 1968 Greenham Stakes winner Heathen (by Hethersett; a two-time champion sire in Uruguay); and to 1970 Prix Vermeille winner Highest Hopes (by Heathersett), dam of 1995 Made in Europe Val Des Pres Trophy (GER-G2) winner Hushang (by Shernazar) and second dam of 2004 American champion steeplechaser Hirapour. In addition, Patroness is a half sister to Pampas Flower (by Pampered King II), dam of 1980 Ladbroke Nell Gwyn Stakes (ENG-G3) winner Evita (by Reform).
Patroness and her siblings were produced from stakes-placed Verdura (by Court Martial), whose half sister Bazura (by Blue Peter) is the dam of 1959 Hollywood Derby winner Bagdad (by Double Jay) and stakes winner Bazaar (by Double Jay).
