Wider family
The family goes back to Too Chic (Blushing Groom), winner of the Grade 1 Maskette Stakes and a notable broodmare. It is also the family of the champion Queena (Mr. Prospector), whose stakes winners include Brahms (Danzig), winner of the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby and later a sire, and La Reina, winner of the Grade 3 Tempted Stakes. Queena's full sister Chic Shirine won the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes.
Next generation
Goin To The Window has since produced Goin To Nova (Kitasan Black), a winning two-year-old filly, and a yearling full sister to Going To Sky. She was covered by Real Steel in 2026.
