Personality/History+ Goddess was the only of three foals, by stakes winner, Battlecry, to be turned down and sold. The stallion won several grade one stakes as a five-year-old, including the prestigious Breeder's Cup Classic. However, Battlecry died on the track after the classic, and was never put out to stud. The three foals he sired one night after jumping in with some broodmares therefore became hot property as his only foals. Two of the foals were kept by the original owners, but one, Goddess, was sold. Ashleigh Griffen pruchased Goddess as a green two-year-old and turned her into a champion race mare. She won many prestigious stakes, including the Coaching Club American Oaks, the last race of the filly Triple Crown. She came in second by a hair in the Breeder's Cup Distaff the same year her half brother, Son of Battle, won the Classic. As a broodmare, Goddess's exploits have been legendary, siring solid stakes winners almost every time. She has been one of the most consistent female producer of winners in the industry, along with her stablemate, Ashleigh's Wonder. Goddess's foals, however, tend to be late bloomers, like their grandsire.
