Published: May 9, 2013 10:57 am EDT

Badlands Racing LLC has announced that Oohs N Aahs, p, 1:51.1s ($1,139,429), has been retired from her broodmare career.

The 21-year-old daughter of Albert Albert was a successful racehorse turned remarkable broodmare. As a racehorse, she was the winner of 44 races, including the New Jersey Sire Stakes final at age three, and an O’Brien Award winner as Older Pacing Mare of the Year in 1997. As a broodmare, she is one of only three millionaire pacing broodmares to ever produce a millionaire daughter.

“When I knew that we were going to stand Badlands Hanover, I aggressively searched for and purchased several quality broodmare prospects,” stated John Celii. “I was thrilled when she was available for sale.”

Her millionaire daughter, Omen Hanover, p, 1:50.4f ($1,086,809), has won 45 races, including being a Pennsylvania Sire Stakes winner at age two and three. Oohs N Aahs is also the dam of Oozies Bad Boy, p, 1:50.3s ($309,186) and Ohmygosh Hanover, p, 1:51.1-’12 ($217,584). She has produced six winners from seven foals of racing age.

“She has been a very successful mare and has established herself as one of the few millionaire producers,” stated Celii.

The last offspring of Oohs N Aahs, a Badlands Hanover filly named Ooh Shesa Badlands, will sell at Harrisburg in November, 2013.

Oohs N Aahs, owned by Badlands Racing LLC, will continue to reside at Winbak Farm in Chesapeake City, Maryland.

“Now, it is time for ‘Oozie’ to graze in the field and enjoy the rest of her life,” stated Celii.
