Win Approval (29 January 1992 – 19 July 2021) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse and "Blue Hen" broodmare. She was the daughter of With Approval, who was the winner of the Canadian Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing and a Champion turf racer. She had an unremarkable racing career, running for her breeder between 1994 and 1996. After her retirement from racing, she became an exceptional broodmare, producing four graded stakes race winners from ten foals.[2] Her progeny earned $8,936,808.[3] She was named the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association Broodmare of the Year for 2017.[4] She was euthanized at age 29 in 2021.[5]
