Pedigree Analysis

Country Star's pedigree may be superficially summed up as the marriage of the blue-blooded aristocrat and the upstart commoner, but the so-called commoner has some excellent breeding herself further back. The high society comes courtesy of her first-crop sire, classic winner Empire Maker, who promises to be a significant source of stamina. A son of 1990 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner and champion Unbridled and Broodmare of the Year Toussaud, Empire Maker was bred to be a star.
