Didn’t catch these guys on time due to travel, but here they are!
FORESIGHT
NCh. LiveLong&Prosper (B) x Sahha - ICh. Alley Cat (S)
8.3h dark grey filly
1/2 sister to FlightofthePhoenix, Black Onyx
Her oldest brother was MSP last season, and Black Onyx has been running decently, so I’m excited about this filly. Was surprised the name wasn’t taken.
HYPNOTIC PATTERN
NCh. Ducati (B) x Gilded Halo - ICh. Gilded Saint
10h black filly
1/2 sister to MGM Grand.
Big black filly out of a SP mare. Named after a spell in D&D.
ENCHANTER
NCh. Pay the Boatman (B) x Love Smitten - ICh. Devil His Due
8.2h bay colt
1/2 brother to Break the Oath, Crazy In Love, Kitten
Dam has two winners of three racers, and Kitten had a great year in SC in 2025. Not so sure about his name, though.
RIVIERA
NCh. Franco Classico x Take A Bow - ICh. Take Me Away
8.1h dark bay filly
First foal for this mare.
Healthy half-sister to BC winner NCh. Aria. Not sure what to expect from this matchup, but I was looking forward to this one and I’m glad she’s a filly, since her dam is getting older and is our only Platinum mare.
“Notos” is the Greco-Roman god of the south wind, said to cause late summer storms, and a “derecho” (pronounced de-ray-ko) is a straight-line windstorm that involves a system of thunderstorms and can cause widespread damage. It’s also Spanish for “straight ahead” or “direct.” We had one of these hit us two summers ago, and you can still see the damages when driving through the area.
Congrats on the healthy Final Scene filly! Hope she really does work some miracles for you. Also love the D&D reference with Thieves’ Cant. It’s a great name.
Lovely names! I especially love Derecho and Foresight - and lovely to see some healthy babies from Ducati and Franco Classico. I hope they run well for you in future!
STAR CURSED
NCh. Allinvain (B) x Proxima Centauri - GCh. Starzen (B)
7.3h mahogany bay colt
Very tiny 1/2 brother to Stellar Appeal. Here’s hoping he grows some!
PHANTASMAL
NCh. Tir Na Nog x Prospect Lake - NCh. Mr. Prospective
9h dark bay colt
First foal for this underraced SW-SP mare by Mr. Prospective, who placed in the G1 Spinaway at 2. Really looking forward to seeing what he does, especially in his 2-year-old season.
RHYME
GCh. Dark Debate x Twinkle Twinkle - GCh. Dixie Time
9.3h bay filly
Unfortunately this was a difficult foaling, and Twinkle Twinkle passed away after complications. This filly, her first foal, is safe and healthy.
ARECIBO
NCh. In The Navy (S) x Astrophysics - Created
9.3h black colt
Named after the now-defunct Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.
