Had another who showed up unexpectedly early. Makes me think I should start thinking of names sooner haha.

YESTERDAY
GCh. Venture His Due (B) x One Day Early - WCh. What’s Debatable (S)

I think this is the first time I’ve seen blood bay since the pictures are back up and this fella is gorgeous!

TU FAIS QUOI
NCh. Gang of Thieves (B) x GCh. Je Ne Sais Quoi - ICh. What’s Your Point
Bred by Coleman Branch
8.2h dapple grey filly

“Tu Fais Quoi” means something along the lines of “watcha doing” in French. Name is obviously influenced by her superstar dam with a little wink to her sire.

Je Ne Sais Quoi will visit Fading Colours next, if approved.

First ever homebreds are here and I’m beyond excited!!

LYRICAL LIES
NCh. Allinvain (B) x Ch. Gold And Black - WCh. Nightfight (G)
8.2h bay colt

Couldn’t pass the chance to name the first homebred after one of my favorite horses from wayyyy back in my simming days. Dam is 1/2 to I’m No Fool and has no offspring who’s hit the track yet, so curious to see how he’ll do!

Gold and Black was bred on Lease and will return to Denoux Stud.

MARY MOONSHOT
NCh. Allinvain (B) x Stolen Chance - GCh. Steal Your Heart
8h chestnut filly

In tech business a moonshot is a type of thinking that aims to achieve something that is generally believed to be impossible. With her parents names it seems fitting.

I’m not yet sure if Stolen Chance will be bred for 2027.

Busy times at the barn with lots of newborns these days. So far fillies and colts are staying pretty equal!

BELLWETHER

WEATHER THE STORM
Thunder Snow x Ch. Sheza Sheila (B) - Ch. Heza Gallant Gent (S)
10h dark bay colt

Sheza Sheila has only been with Gotapa for a few days and she’s already dropped this handsome colt. Most of Sheila’s foals are FF owned so with Thunder Snow being new and Heza Gallant Gent being faily unknown, I’m very curious to see how this big boy will grow up.

She will visit California Chrome next.

Colts are starting to pull ahead now!

POLAROID
GCh. Fading Colours x Kerian Image - ICh. Witness (B)
9.3h bay colt

Surprised the name wasn’t taken yet! First foal of his dam, but granddam is gold ranked so we’ll see how much talent this damline truly holds in a few years.

Kerian Image will visit Lucky Streak for 2027.

Thank you! :smiley:

Our last January foal is finally here!

BAY OF BENGAL
NCh. In The Navy (S) x Kishore - ICh. Alley Cat (S)
9.2h flea-bitten grey filly

First foal of her dam. Kishore was never raced at 2 or 3 but had a decent career from 4-6. As she’s the only foal of her dam, Bay of Bengal’s damline is a bit of an unknown, but there’s some talent in the sire/BM sire cross so we’ll see!

Kishore is on her way to Dark Debate next.

ANTARI
GCh. All That Appeal x Ch. Ring of Darkness -ICh. Ring of Fire (S)
8h black filly

Antari is a term from a trilogy I love - Darker Shades of Magic. Expecting her to be a turf runner when she grows up.

Ring of Darkness will not be bred for 2022.

ROYAL HIGHNESS
NCh. Glorious Victory x Tahitian Pearl - Oscillation (S)
10h dark bay filly

It was a huge surprise to find this filly today! Either I messed up my notes or she’s WAY early because we were not expecting her until June!
