AUTUMN NIGHTS, 9.3h black filly
NCh. Palermo x GCh. Autumn Red - ICh. What’s Your Point
Extremely excited to get a filly as Autumn Red’s first foal. Autumn Red is a MSW homebred of $3.8M, including the G1 Arc. Both parents were turf MSW monsters in their day, so hoping this little girl will inherit even half of their combined powers. Autumn Red will visit Nobly Regal for 2027.
88 Foals: 37 colts | 51 fillies | 1 Retired Mare | 1 Mare Death
RAINBOW TOWER, 8.3h black colt
GCh. Fading Colours x Ch. Stalking - WCh. Strider (S)
First foal for a SW homebred. Stalking will visit Local Haunt next.
89 Foals: 38 colts | 51 fillies | 1 Retired Mare | 1 Mare Death
CIRCUS DIABOLIQUE, 9h chestnut colt
NCh. Von Lichtenstein (S) x Poltergeist (G) - GCh. My Lucky Day (G)
Half to MSW’s GCh. Local Haunt and GCh. Dior, as well as 3 SP’s. We’ve had good luck with Von Lichtenstein so hoping his 2-3yo dirt career will replicate a Local Haunt-like runner.
93 Foals: 40 colts | 53 fillies | 1 Retired Mare | 1 Mare Death
*Somewhere I forgot how to count. We’re actually at 93 foals with 8 left.
She had retired last year, but it appears we quietly lost Song of the Sea overnight. We had purchased her from Stillwater Farms six years ago. At the time she had already delivered 5 foals, including a yearling we picked up the year prior. Although not much of a runner, she went on to produce 11 foals, with 100% winners from 9 runners including MSW’s Ch. Sea Salt (the yearling we picked up) and Ch. Star of the Sea, and SW’s Ch. Morecambe Bay and Laridae. Of her foals we own Sea Salt (2018), Star of the Sea (2022), Ionean Sea (2023), and Seattle Song (2025).
Final April foal landed. Just 7 foals left this season!
SPRING FORMAL, 9.1h chestnut filly
NCh. Straticus (B) x Ch. Somber Act - NCh. Lasting Spirit (S)
Second foal and filly for MSP dam. Somber Act is half to NCh. Formal Occasion and Ch. Legally Bay (dam of NCh. Bells Beach). Somber Act will visit Never Let Go for 2027.
94 Foals: 40 colts | 54 fillies | 1 Retired Mare | 1 Mare Death
NORTH WIND, 8.1h blood bay filly
FFCh. Black Cherry (B) x Northern Eagle (S) - Northern Slew (S)
Half to MSW Ch. Northern Sun and 100% winners. At 21 years of age, Northern Eagle has been retired. She leaves behind two fillies in our barn.
95 Foals: 40 colts | 55 fillies | 2 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
FAMOUS LAST WORDS, 9.2h bay colt
NCh. Last For More (B) x Blodeuwedd - NCh. Carrowmore
Half to Mabinogion. Blodeuwedd is half to stallion ICh. What’s Your Point, so I hope as her foals age she’ll turn out to be a nice producer. She will visit Hollywood Knight for 2027.
96 Foals: 41 colts | 55 fillies | 2 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
Down to just 5 foals expected this season! 4 this month, and 1 straggler in June.
VALLE DE LA LUNA, 8.3h dark bay filly
NCh. Nobly Regal (S) x Ch. Filly from Chile (G) - Bold Ruler (S)
The Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) is part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve in Chile, with a stunning Mars or moon-like landscape. Half to MSW Ch. Color Run, and SW’s Ch. Samba and Ch. Caleuche. Filly from Chile will visit Cool Crusader for 2027.
97 Foals: 41 colts | 56 fillies | 2 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
Fillies will win by a landslide this year and, with just 3 left to foal, really hoping we finish the foaling season with no stillborns!
FISKE, 8.2h black colt
GCh. Fivel x GCh. Cabaret - NCh. Mr. Prospective
First foal for MSW dam. Both parents did extremely well as dirt sprinters. Overall, the damline is fairly unproven (Cabaret being the only black-type runner between her 8 half-siblings, who are all mostly inactive, and she’s only one of two fillies for her dam so no idea how she’ll be as a producer). Hopeful for the Foolhardy/Nightfight/Mr. Prospective cross. Cabaret will visit Local Haunt for 2027.
98 Foals: 41 colts | 57 fillies | 2 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
TWELFTH HOUSE, 9.1h grey filly
GCh. Tense Imagination x Zodiac Spirit - GCh. Galaxy’s Zodiac
Second foal and filly for MSP dam. Zodiac Spirit is half to MSW’s NCh. The Voyage Home and Ch. Spirit of Change. Zodiac Spirit has been offered for sale.
Unfortunately we lost a wonderful member of the broodmare band last night. Light Up Your Life was due next year, but was suddenly game-retired. Gold-ranked, she produced 10 foals in all, with 100% winners from 7 starters including MSW GCh. Amatus, whom we own, and SW’s Ch. Light of Eärendil and Ch. Light Bringer. In addition to Amatus, we also own her foals Toasted (3yo), Neowise (2yo), and Literary Light (weanling).
@Shanthi She does show as still in foal and due January 6th. As happy as I’d be for her sudden retirement to be a fluke, I presume she should no longer be in foal?
99 Foals: 41 colts | 58 fillies | 3 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
Final foal has (more or less) dropped! I say more or less because I had cashed in AMI points earlier this year for a weanling so my stable overview says I’m still expecting a foal…while also giving me a +1 weanling count versus what I actually have on the ground. Essentially there’s a baby somewhere in the void, but at least all the broodmares have foaled.
DARK ARTS, 9.1h liver chestnut colt
NCh. Hogwarts (B) x Darkfall (G) - Danzig (S)
Almost a week early, which makes me happy. Half to MSW’s Ch. Downfall and Ch. Evocation. Darkfall will visit Honeydukes for 2027.
FINAL COUNT 101 Foals: 43 colts | 58 fillies | 3 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
Had a little surprise in the night! I submitted a creation form back in February and while I know the weanling birth dates are randomized, I was still hoping she was just…stuck. And not late. I should know better (I should also have waited until I could afford a yearling but points have been broken so it has taken forever just to afford a weanling).
MOPPET
8.1h strawberry roan filly
Created x Created - Created
The strawberries are my favorite and just wanted another filly in the barn.
Actual Final Count: 102 Foals: 43 colts | 59 fillies | 3 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
ODDFELLOW, 7.3h black colt
NCh. Straticus (B) x NCh. Lovers’ Duel - WCh. Nightfight (G)
While I’m happy everyone is healthy, I’d be lying if I said I was pleased, haha. I bred Lovers’ Duel ages ago, sold her, and she went on to be a MSW of $6.4M. We picked her up in last year’s Select Auction for a whopping $7M, and she returns the favor by delivering her first foal in December by a stallion we lost this year. Of course! At least he’s also super pretty - black with tons of chrome.
103 Foals: 44 colts | 59 fillies | 3 Retired Mares | 1 Mare Death
