After that she was sold and transferred to Jack Howards Rookwood Farm, where she foaled Blazing Torch on April 4, 1934, and was sent back j to Dixiana and bred to Sweep All. She was then sent to T. R. Jones at Dallas, Texas, along with her foal, which was Blazing Torch. It is believed that Blazing Torch now is in the string John Hodgkins is training for R. B. George at Arlington Park.
