Txope will race on for the immediate future with the Del Mar Oaks in North America mentioned as a possible goal and in the long term she will be a great addition to the ever growing Yulong broodmare band.

Txope is the best of two winners from stakes-placed Power of the Moon, a half-sister  to Group III winner Zinziberine.
