Now 17 years old, Vegas Showgirl has produced seven named foals, two of which have raced and both are stakes-winners in superstar Winx and Group III winner El Divino, who broke down and was euthanized before he could retire to stud.

Fairway Thoroughbreds have retained her last two fillies born in three year-old Courchevel (by Snitzel) and two year-old Covent Garden (by Exceed and Excel) and it is expected this Deep Impact filly will also be retained.

Fairway Thoroughbreds sold a stunning Snitzel colt from Vegas Showgirl at the 2016 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale that fetched $2.3million to top the sale, however Boulder City was retired to stud without a start and will have his first foals this spring for Riverbank Farm in Victoria. He covered 94 mares in his first season.
