Shanthi · January 1, 2015, 4:38pm

Lovely set of babies.

rebelrun · January 4, 2015, 5:43pm

Apparently I’ve lost all creativity when it comes to naming. Two more arrivals in the last two days.

ICh. Almost Precious x Catching Moonbeams
8.0h Dark Bay Colt

[color=blue]Journeyman
NCh. Mr. Prospective (S) x Ch. Highway (Cross Roads)
9.0h Dark Bay Colt

Not terribly enthused with all the colts, but they’re healthy, so I’ll take it!

40 foals due

Shelbie · January 4, 2015, 6:05pm

Congrats on all the new kids! Hopefully your mares will deliver a bunch of fillies soon.

Shanthi · January 4, 2015, 6:13pm

I like the names. Hoping you get some fillies soon!

Starfish · January 6, 2015, 2:42am

Congratulations on a nice healthy bunch of babies.

rebelrun · January 18, 2015, 4:55pm

Thanks all! Updating the list with the recent kids and so far, it’s still a colt year.

[color=blue]Folktale
ICh. Almost Precious x Lullabye
9.0h Grey Colt

Mom has 3 winners from 3 racers to date, so hopefully this guy will follow suit.

[color=blue]Iron and Rue
ICh. Gilded Saint x Fairy War (Sadler’s Wells)
9.1h Black Colt

Bred to be a jumper…we’ll see! His name is literally just two things supposedly hated by fairies.

[color=blue]Last Letter Home
ICh. Long Live The King x Afterlife (False Promises)
8.0h Bay Colt

Born a little early, this guy is one of our most anticipated this season. He’s 1/2 to NCh. Pay the Boatman and MSW Ch. Nighthawk. Mom has 4 winners from 4 raced and her 3yo is stakes placed. Now if she’ll just give us a filly from her date with Black Cherry…

[color=blue]Lexicon
ICh. Unabridged x Ch. Rose Will Do (NCh. Those Will Do)
9.3h Grey Colt

I love my Unabridged babies. He’s mom’s first foal and I’m hoping he’ll be as versatile as his parents, surface-wise.

[color=red]Nocturnal
NCh. Aptitude x GCh. Moon Eclipse
10.0h Liver chestnut filly

Bred to be versatile. Fingers crossed that she lives up to her potential.

[color=red]One Good Turn
GCh. One Lucky Soul x Silent Turn (Ch. Turn n’Burn)
8.2h Liver chestnut filly

[color=blue]That’s A Wrap
FFCh. TakeMeToHollywood x Ch. Jubilation (NCh. Gimme A Shot)
9.3h Bay Colt

Another sire I love, thanks to NCh. Taking Vegas’s stellar race career.

[color=red]Twelve Bar blues
NCh. AndLikeThatHesGone x Folk Music
9.0h Grey Filly

Mom’s first foal is doing relatively well on dirt, but this girl is another potential 'chaser.

[color=blue]Woad
NCh. Painted Raven x Essential Oils
9.1h Dark bay colt

Another SC-bred kid, though he’ll likely get a try on dirt at 2. “Woad” is a plant that is used to make dyes. Think of the blue war paint used in Braveheart or King Arthur.

31 foals due; 1 10 days overdue

ivycreekfarm · January 18, 2015, 5:04pm

I’m loving your names so far this year!

Shanthi · January 18, 2015, 5:16pm

Me too! Good luck with the Kermit colt.

imagine · January 18, 2015, 5:33pm

Lovely foals, congratulations.

CricketHill · January 19, 2015, 3:56am

Love the names. Good luck with the LLK foal.

Four babies have arrived since the last update, three in the last two days:

NCh. Mr. Prospective x Exclusive Song (Affirmed)
10.1h Dark Bay filly

[color=red]Lackadaisical
ICh. Unabridged x Ch. Daisy May Care (NCh. Devil May Care)
9.3h Brown Filly

First foal from MSP dam, and Unabridged has been quite good to me so far, so here’s hoping!

[color=red]Sangreal
ICh. Long Live the King x Ch. Sunless Seattle (GCh. Backseat Driver)
8.3h Dark Bay filly

MSW/MSP dam’s first foal runs this year. Looking forward to seeing what she can produce.

[color=blue]Secret Chord
NCh. Hidden Destiny x Moonlight Sonnet (Twin Oaks)
8.3h Black colt

Hoping for a turf monster. His name is a partial lyric from the Leonard Cohen song “Hallelujah”.

26 foals due; 2-3 overdue

Shanthi · January 31, 2015, 2:02pm

Lovely names - surprised they weren’t taken!

Also, Hallelujah is an awesome song.

Four_Aces_Stables · January 31, 2015, 6:07pm

Very nice bunch of fuzzes!

imagine · January 31, 2015, 6:34pm

Lovely foals

rebelrun · February 22, 2015, 5:29pm

Updating the list:

[color=blue]Aristocracy
NCh. Mr. Prospective x Ch. Highland Royalty (NCh. Highland Wizard)
9.0h Dark Bay colt

I know there’s already an Aristocrat in game, so if I need to change this one, I’m more than happy to do so…

[color=blue]Falkirk
GCh. Edinburgh x Ch. Jet Setting Jane
9.0h Dark Bay colt

[color=blue]Headliner
NCh. Sunday Paper x ICh. Date With Destiny

NCh. Mr. Prospective x Ch. Hot Brown (GCh. Jazz It Up)
10.0h Dark Bay filly

Looks like the dark bays have it this season!

NCh. National Post x Bonnie Kaikamahine (Crimson Lad)
8.3h Bay filly

Random cross, random name.

[color=red]Munin
NCh. Joyeux Oiseau x Valhalla
8.3h Bay filly

Munin is the name of one of Odin’s ravens, from the Norse mythology. Dam’s first runner hits the track this year.

[color=blue]NoStringsAttached
GCh. One Lucky Soul x Leash
10.1h Chestnut colt

Dam has a stakes-winning 3yo, so here’s hoping the rest of her get (in our barn) follow suit.

[color=blue]Reverent
ICh. Almost Precious x In Thy Name
10.1h Bay colt

1/2 sib to stud-qualified GCh. Holy Warrior.

[color=red]Rhinestone
ICh. Almost Precious x ToMuchGlitz
10.0h Black filly

1/2 sib to Ch. Galway Girl and MW/MP Casting Call.

[color=red]Widow’s Walk
Monarchos x Naval Romance (Romeo)
10.3h Dark Bay filly

A bit of an unknown, but hoping for the best!

16 still due, 1 mare nearly a month overdue.

Shanthi · February 22, 2015, 7:58pm

Love the names.

Given that The Aristocrat is a mare who’s 10 years older, I don’t mind the slight similarity in names.

hollyh1125 · February 23, 2015, 1:08am

Wow big foals there! I have always taken that as a good sign. Love the names too.

Wolfhound · February 23, 2015, 11:17am

Nice lineup of babies and good names too.

rebelrun · March 8, 2015, 1:45am

The latest crew, from the last week:

[color=blue]Come Monday
NCh. Hidden Destiny x Margaritaville (NCh. Seattle Sorcerer)
9.1h bay colt

Following the Jimmy Buffet theme with dam’s foals.

[color=red]Dare To Try
NCh. Worthy Victor x Canyoutopthis
8.3h chestnut filly

1/2-sib to MSW NCh. Unprecedented and SW/SP Ch. Time Marches On. Hopefully a turf monster like her siblings!

Animal Kingdom x Roses On Sunday (Sunday Silence)
9.0h liver chestnut colt

[color=blue]Jousting
NCh. Von Lichtenstein x Ch. Queen of Stars (WCh. King David)
