I’ve been a little remiss with this thread, but had to post because we had a first at Coleman Branch today: twins! Big twins! One of the ladies will likely go in the foal auction later this year. They were both named for Spanish treasure ships sunk by storms in the 1700s.

Ohhhh love Marlon Brando! and the twins, that’s always fun!

Congrats on healthy twins! Love the name Winter Carnival.

Love the names!

Twins are always exciting. Congrats on their healthy arrival.

I’ve been neglecting this thread again - we’re up to 37 yearlings now, though there has been some sad news interspersed with the good.

We lost [color=red]GCh. Solemn Hour[/color] to foaling. It was the first foal for this MSW/MSP mare out of GCh. Splendid Silence by War Chant.

We’ve had two stillborn foals, a colt by NCh. Tir Na Nog out of Ch. Diamonora, and a filly by WCh. Strike It Rich out of My Favorite.

Now, onto the babies!

1/2-sister to SP Woad.

[color=blue]Bayonne[/color]
ICh. Unabridged x ICh. Bay of Biscay (ICh. Prince of Wonder)
9.3h dark grey colt

This guy is pretty regally-bred, which likely means he won’t live up to it. He’s is 1/2 sib to MSW/MSP GCh. Loewe.

[color=red]Black Velvet Band[/color]
NCh. Tir Na Nog x Ch. Rose Will Do (NCh. Those Will Do)
8.3h dark grey filly

1/2 to SW/MSP Ch. Lexicon.

[color=red]Bucket List[/color]
ICh. To Die For x Ch. Jet Setting Jane
9.1h dark grey filly

Both parents are still relatively unproven, though mom does have a MW 3yo filly.

[color=blue]Cernunnos[/color]
NCh. Celtic Star x Ch. Brigantia (Ch. Irish River)
8.0h dark bay colt

Second foal from his dam, whose oldest will race next year.

[color=red]Cheering Charm[/color]
NCh. Crafty Magic x NCh. Ishka (Sadler’s Wells)
8.3h dark bay filly

Ishka’s oldest should race this year. Looking forward to seeing what this little lady might do.

[color=blue]Constantinople[/color]
Golden Horn x Exclusive Song (Affirmed)
9.2h chestnut colt

1/2 to MSW Ch. Cabaret and a couple winners. Dam is a reine-de-course.

[color=red]Féilearcán[/color]
NCh. Celtic Star x Ch. Mananita (ICh. Gunningdownromance)
9.3h dark bay filly

Her name is the same as mom’s (butterfly), just a different language. Mom’s first foal races next year.

[color=blue]Exalted[/color]
Dubawi x Ch. Jubilation (NCh. Gimme a Shot)
9.1h bay colt

A relative unknown. Mom’s foals to date have been SC horses, one MW, one MP.

[color=blue]Doxology[/color]
ICh. Gilded Saint x Onomatopeia (NCh. Cryptic Ballad)
9.3h black colt

Second foal for mom, first might race next year and is currently consigned to the foal auction.

Named for an Arabic dance. First foal for Spanish Jazz.

[color=red]Hereafter[/color]
Dubawi x Afterlife (False Promises)
8.2h chestnut filly

Just the third filly from this reine-de-course mare, Hereafter is 1/2 to SW/MSP Ch. Eridanos, MSW/MSP Ch. Last Letter Home, MSW/MSP GCh. Nighthawk, and MSW/MSP stallion NCh. Pay the Boatman.

[color=blue]The Chosen One[/color]
NCh. Hogsmeade x ICh. Date With Destiny
8.1h dark grey colt

Date With Destiny has yet to produce a foal who can outrun her, but she has thrown some nice jumpers, including MSW/MSP GCh. Inevitable and SW/SP Ch. Artistry.

[color=blue]Saint Indy[/color]
ICh. Gilded Saint x Ch. Indy’s Kitty (A. P. Indy)
11.0 fleabitten grey colt

I wasn’t sure on the name, but it’s starting to grow on me. Third foal from mom; her first will race this year provided he puts on some height.

[color=red]Rose of Allendale[/color]
NCh. Celtic Star x Roses On Sunday (Sunday Silence)
7.2h dark bay filly

Born early, 1/2 to GCh. Armistice and Ch. Silent Film Star.

[color=blue]Requiem[/color]
American Pharoah x GCh. Solemn Hour (War Chant)
10.0h dark bay colt

Glad for a healthy foal, but might’ve preferred him to be a filly since he’ll be the mare’s only offspring.

[color=red]Never Say Die[/color]
NCh. Pay the Boatman x Ch. Astoria (Smart Strike)
9.3h bay filly

All mom’s foals are getting Goonies-related names, since in the movie Astoria was known as The Goondocks. No racers yet.

[color=red]Myths and Legends[/color]
NCh. Tir Na Nog x GCh. Je Ne Sais Quoi (ICh. What’s Your Point)
8.1h liver chestnut filly

Honestly, I couldn’t think of a better name and I wanted to…she’s bred for turf. Mom’s first foal will race next year.

[color=red]Moll Cutpurse[/color]
NCh. Gang of Thieves x NCh. Unprecedented (ICh. Unabridged)
9.1h dapple grey filly

Named for an infamous female thief. Mom’s first foal runs this year. Definitely looking forward to seeing what this family can do.

[color=blue]Maide Leisg[/color]
Curlin x Ch. Highland Glory (ICh. Highland Pride)
9.2h black colt

Mom has a couple SW/SP horses to her name. His name means “lazy stick”, which is a one-on-one test of strength in the highland games.

[color=blue]Inis Oirr[/color]
NCh. Pay the Boatman x Ch. Galway Girl (NCh. Carrowmore)
9.0h bay colt

Named for one of Ireland’s Arran Islands. Mom’s first foal.

Sorry for your terrible loss. Hopefully Requiem becomes a very lovely runner.

Great names. Good luck with Loewe’s half-brother! I’ve been stalking her dam and half-sibs.

Love the names.

So sorry about Solemn Hour - I hope her colt does her proud.
