Not 100% sold on the name.
Fifth foal for MSW, MSP dam. I picked up the mare’s eldest runner from a claimer as a 5yo. She was very lightly raced and ended her career on the track as a multi-winner (only ran aged 5 and 6 years). We’re awaiting her first foal this year.
Highland Crown has a date with Fading Colours next.

GCh. Kemistree x Dark Jester - FFCh. Foolhardy (S)
8.3h black filly
First foal for W, MP dam. Jester doesn’t have the best race record but made her debut in a claimer as a 6yo so I’d like to think on pedigree she might have done well had she raced earlier. The female line traces back to Highland Sorceress (P) so I’m hopeful she’ll be a reasonable producer.

Sixth foal for MSW, MSP dam. She’s had 3 runners to date, all are minor winners. She was under FF management for some time and wasn’t bred for a few years. Her eldest active runner is 3 so I’m hoping there’s some improvement to come with her final few foals.

Half to MSW, MSP Dreams and Shadows and SW, MSP Bedtime Stories. Expression was a MSW, MSP runner and so far most of her foals have followed her in being quite precocious. Interested to see how this little lady gets on in the future.
