LAVENDER HAZE
GCh. Local Haunt x Ch. Lavender Monument - Created
9.1h blue roan filly
Both parents excelled at classic distances on dirt, so this girl is definitely bred to have a specific strong suit! Lavender is off to Devil’s Heir next.
FINK
GCh. Fivel x Tattletale - ICh. Witness (B)
8.2h black colt
Stoked that this name was still free! Fink is Tattletale’s third foal. Her eldest, São Paulo is now two and will likely debut on the racetrack this year. Curious to see how her foals will perform on the track.

Two weeks early, but this guy arrived healthy.
PISTACCHIO
NCh. Palermo x Vivocity - NCh. Void (S)
9.2h black colt
I have a few mares that seem to have a distinct preference for colts. This is Vivocity’s fourth foal and they’re all colts. Vivocity’s oldest is a three-year-old who won 3 out of 4 starts so far, so we’re taking that as a good sign for her broodmare capabilities. Since her lines have crossed well with What’s It Worth / Foolhardy before she’s visiting Fool To Be Smokin’ next.

BURN BABY BURN

That’s it, foaling season for 2029 is over for Gotapa! Very happy to see the last two arrivals healthy in their stalls.
Overall, this breeding season was a little rough. We had a final furlong hiccup granting us two foals out of the same mare, but the game (over)corrected it’s mistake which led to a grand total of 6 stillborns. All stillborns were Gotapa bred and since we bred 61 horses for the 2029 foaling season that means 10% stillborn rate. Ouch.
Hopefully next year will be better, but we’ve upped our breeding number just to be safe. I’m very happy with this crop and I’m excited to see them hit the track in two years!
SHADES OF RED
NCh. Holy Warrior (B) x Neon Avenue - ICh. Chivalry
8.1h black colt
Neon Avenue has four racing foals so far, including one SW and one SP. She performed well on turf and dirt, so Shades of Red can go either way.
CONEY ISLAND
GCh. Bells Beach x Ch. New York Express - WCh. Express Yourself
9h bay filly
New York’s foals are all succesful turf runners and Coney Island should have no problem following in those footsteps. If not, there’s a chance she’ll take after the SC runners that are represented in her pedrigree. All New York’s racing foals are SP, SW or MSW, so I’m excited to see this filly grow up.
New York Express is on her way to Nobly Regal.
