A member of a powerful Argentine family and sired by the most dominant stallion in Argentine history, Mi Sureña reached her peak late in her 3-year-old season with Group 1 wins in the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff (the Argentine equivalent to the Breeders’ Cup Distaff) and the Gran Premio Gilberto Lerena. Unfortunately, she was a disappointing broodmare, and none of her daughters have distinguished themselves as producers.
Race record
18 starts, 6 wins, 4 seconds, 2 thirds, 153,380 Argentine pesos

Mi Sureña produced 10 named foals of racing age, of which seven started and five won. Her best runner was multiple Grade 3-placed Mi Baires (by El Corredor).
Connections
Mi Sureña was bred by Haras La Quebrada. She raced for Caballeriza Bonaventura. She was ridden to her win in the Gran Premio Estrellas Distaff by Pedro Roberto Robles. As a broodmare, she was owned by Haras La Quebrada. She was pensioned in 2018 following three consecutive years of barrenness and died in January 2020.
Pedigree notes
Mi Sureña is inbred 3x5 to the great sire Northern Dancer, the 1964 Canadian Horse of the Year and American champion 3-year-old male. She is a full sister to 1999 Gran Premio Felix de Alzaga Unzue (ARG-G1) winner My Halo and to 2002 Premio Old Man (ARG-G3) winner My Master. She is also a full sister to My Melody, dam of Peruvian Group 3 winner Toruk (by Grand Reward).
Mi Sureña and her siblings are out of My Swinger, who won the 1993 Premio Asociación de Proprietarios de Caballos de Carreras (ARG-G3). My Swinger is a half sister to Soy Distinguida (by Rare Performer), dam of 2005 Gran Premio Selección de Potrancas (ARG-G1) winner Smart Wells (by Poliglote) and 2001 Premio Asociación Bonaerense Proprietarios de Caballos de Carrera (ARG-G3) winner Distinguida Fitz (by Fitzcarraldo), second dam of Argentine Group 2 winner Distinguida Lode and Argentine Group 3 winner Distinta Nistel, and third dam of 2019 Gran Premio Estrellas Mile (ARG-G1) winner Expressive Smart and Argentine Group 2 winner Smart Holiday. My Swinger is also a half sister to Qatar (by Liloy), dam of 1997 Premio Carlos Campo (ARG-G2) winner Doha (by Mat-Boy), second dam of Chilean Group 2 winner Senor Pocket, and third dam of 2009 Ecuadorean champion older imported female Lluvia de Oro and Chilean Group 2 winner Sahara Sun.
My Swinger, in turn, is out of 1980 Argentine champion 2-year-old filly Mi Quimera (by Good Manners). The next dam in Mi Sureña’s tail-female line, La Gran Muñeca (by Aristophanes) is a full sister to multiple stakes winner El Botija and a half sister to La Chiflada (by the Honeyway horse Right of Way), dam of Argentine Group 2 winner and important Chilean sire Mocito Guapo (by Good Manners). Produced from multiple Argentine stakes winner La Maleva (by Cardanil II, a stakes-winning son of Djebel), La Gran Muñeca is also a half sister to Argentine stakes winner La Muñequita, the dam of Argentine listed stakes winner La Copera (by Good Manners) and the second dam of two-time Argentine champion El Compinche, 1988 Argentine champion 2-year-old filly La Maltrecha, and Argentine Group 2 winner Shoe Bay. La Gran Muñeca is also a half sister to La Biaba (by Pardallo), dam of Argentine Group 2 winner Orillera (by Bereber), and to Mi Maleva (by Our Talisman), second dam of Argentine Group 3 winner Percantina.
