The only way you can obtain brood mares on a basis you can afford is to buy two or three yearling fillies every year and race them. The good ones, the ones that show potentialities, you keep, and the others you get rid of. In that way, you have a chance to build up a good brood mare band.

WHAT DOES FILLIES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fillies

Filly

A filly is a young female horse too young to be called a mare. There are two specific definitions in use. ▪ In most cases filly is a female horse under the age of four years. ▪ In some nations, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, the world of horse racing sets the cutoff age for fillies as younger than five years. The equivalent term for a male is a colt. When horses of either sex are less than one year of age, they are referred to as foals. Horses between one and two years of age may also be called yearlings.
