SHE’S OUR TEN (Constitution) will carry the colors for Lee Searing and C R K when she is unveiled under trainer Peter Eurton at Fair Grounds on Friday. The dark bay initially went to Hidden Brook for $215,000 at the Fasig-Tipton October Yearling Sale before being purchased by C R K for $675,000 during OBS April last year. Out of MSP Quality Heat (Quality Road), the filly’s lone siblings are an older half-brother by Nyquist and a younger half-sister by Not This Time. She’s Our Ten’s dam is a full-sister to MGSW & sire Frank Conversation, who was sent to Saudi Arabia in 2023, and her extended female family includes full-siblings & Grade I winners by Unusual Heat, Unusual Suspect and Golden Doc A.
