Critique my mare please

So everyone, here's Melind. She's a 10 year old 17 hand OTTB mare. She's currently almost 100 days pregnant with her second foal. Let me know what you think of her conformation.

The first thing I noticed was that her shoulder looks really steep in the first pics. Also she looks to toe out a bit with her right rear...but again, maybe just the way she's standing. Cute mare!

Really nice looking mare! Love the TBs. I notice the toeing out as well, but it could be the picture.

I like her, can't really see anything that stands out, that is wrong with her....she's a bit long backed...but not much...maybe a touch tied in behind the knee, but that's not really that bad either...I like her, she's a nice looking mare, I hope she gives you a nice foal...what is she bred to?

Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it. For those who asked, this is the stallion she is bred to. She is bred for a racehorse baby.

And this is their first foal, a 2006 filly.

I think she is a very well put together mare!!! If I had to be picky, she's just a little toe out in the front left and hind right. But that's all I would be picky about. Otherwise I think she's GORGEOUS and if you want to let her go, let me know!!!!
Has she always been a broodmare or has she raced or been shown?

She raced for a few years, and I have shown her before. She's a broodmare, but I don't like to think of her as a broodmare that just pops out babies. I ride her all the time and work on bettering her skills. She's a dream to ride.
