Donato Hanover broodmares are IMO the best of the best, Only His dad Andover Hall rivals that but you look, a lot of these big races are out of Donato Hanover broodmares

U need to buy some more in foal
Yes — if you mean daughters of Donato Hanover that have gone on to become outstanding broodmares, there are some very impressive ones. The most obvious example is Dunk The Donato.

Some of the standout Donato Hanover broodmare daughters

Dunk The Donato — probably the biggest success story so far. She was unraced, but as a broodmare produced:

Plunge Blue Chip (Muscle Mass) — 1:49.4, $1.576 million, a world champion.
Splash Blue Chip (E L Titan) — 1:51.4, $474,623.
Threepointbluechi p (Walner) — 1:53.1, $227,031, stakes winner.

She was named 2021 Trotting Broodmare of the Year.

Danielle Hanover — interestingly, she was a daughter of D Train, so she is Donato Hanover's full maternal sister, rather than a Donato daughter. But her broodmare record is outstanding:
Darlene Hanover — 1:51.4, $591,250
Delilah Hanover — 1:54.2, $308,331
Delaney Hanover — 1:54, $122,557.
Devin Hanover — another daughter of D Train and maternal sister to Donato. Her offspring include:
Dejerate — 1:53.1, $96,390
Donatello Hanover — $93,009
Devious Hanover — $54,740.

There are also a number of Donato daughters now being retained specifically as broodmares, so I think we're only seeing the beginning of what his daughters may do as producers.

And Plunge Blue Chip is the one that really jumps out. A Donato Hanover daughter producing a 1:49.4, $1.57 million mare is exactly the sort of thing that makes breeders start paying serious attention to the female line.

If you want, I can go much deeper and give you
a list of the 10–20 best Donato Hanover daughters as broodmares, including every major foal they've produced, their sire, time and earnings. That would be a pretty interesting list because some of these families are really taking off.

list top 20

Yes. I dug further into the pedigrees, and Donato Hanover mares are becoming a very important broodmare-sire group. I would not call this an official 1–20 ranking, because there isn't a published ranking of the mares themselves, but these are 20 of the most notable Donato Hanover daughters as producers, based on the quality of their offspring.

Plunge Blue Chip stands out even more as the dam of Kountry Plunge (by Chapter Seven), currently undefeated as a 2yo with a 1:54.1 mark at Pocono and recently won the NY Sire Stakes Championship $300,000 race.  She has also, already earned a spot in the 2027 Oak Grove Trotting Oaks.  There is a Plunge Blue Chip, sired by Walner who should bring some solid $$$$ if sold at auction this fall.
