Amour Angus is a mare who
Amour Angus is a mare who radically improved trotters as we know them. Has any mare ever produced three brothers as dominant both in the breeding shed & on the track? I understand Adams Hall is breeding & racing in Europe as well- another son of Amour Angus. She obviously passed on something special to her foals, something that couldn't have been predicted from just looking at her bloodlines on paper. What a loss to Walnut Hall & the sport. Amour Angus will live on for generations to come, through her incredible genetic legacy.
