First 2 are on the ground! Both mamas are leased, so will be going back after this.

[color=blue]Napoleons Spirit
NCh. Lasting Spirit (S) x Napoleons Waterloo (S) - Bold Ruler (S)
9.1h dark bay colt

Full brother to [color=blue]Ch. Boldly Going (2019)
1/2 brother to [color=green] Scots Grey

With 2 stakes quality siblings, here’s to hoping this boy keeps up the trend.

[color=red]Optimistic Brigade
WCh. Brigade (B) x Ch. Optimistic (S) - Seabiscuit (S)
8.2h dark bay filly

1/2 sister to [color=red]Ch. Better Days

Not sure if I’m gonna keep the name, but thought it was at least a good stand-in for now.

[color=blue]RHINE RIVER[/color]
Frankel (S) x Devil’s Handmaiden (B) - Who Says (S)
9.1h bay colt

Born right on time. Wasn’t really sure what to call this little guy, so did some research and discovered that “Frankel” is a regional surname associated with the Franks, which were first recorded as being located on the east bank of the lower Rhine River. Thought it sounded like a pretty fun name.

Not sure where Devil’s Handmaiden is going next.

Glad to see some colts joining us this year after last year’s filly takeover.

[color=blue]SILENT HONOR[/color]
ICh. Chivalry (S) x Tiptoein’ - NCh. Sneak Peek (S)
8.1h bay colt

This is Tiptoein’s first foal, so we’ll see how he does when he grows up, but I have high hopes for him, as Tiptoein’ had a 25% win rate and a 75% OTB.

Tiptoein’ heads to Ancient Magic next.

Welp. Got our first stillborn of the year… Also have one I apparently missed.

[color=blue]LUCKY AND BOLD[/color]
NCh. Lucky Streak (S) x Ch. Bold As Brass (B) - Bold Ruler (S)
9.0h bay colt born Feb. 16

1/2 brother to [color=red]Ch. Cashmere Soda[/color], [color=green] Benaren[/color]

Ch. Bold As Brass has been bred to Talismanic.

Stillborn filly
WCh. Sponsored x Like a Charm - Silver Charm

Like a Charm is headed to Usain Bolt next.

Sorry about your stillborn.

11

Sorry to hear about your stillborn.

We offer a Live Foal guarantee. As you have already booked Like a Charm to a different stallion, you can use the free booking for any other of your mares.

I noticed that you have Wish For Ribbons booked to Sponsored so, I have adjusted the Fee for her breeding to $0.

12

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Three more on the ground! All boys. Guess they’re making up for the filly takeover last year.

[color=blue]CELTIC DREAM[/color]
NCh. Celtic Star (S) x Dreamfield - Created
10.0h dark bay colt

I guess the foaling was rough? Dreamfield is marked as a retired broodmare at the age of 6. Sadly, this was her only foal. Guess we’ll see how he does.

[color=blue]FOOL’S RISK[/color]
ICh. To Die For (B) x My Lady’s Fool - FFCh. Foolhardy (S)
9.1h dark grey colt

With mama being a Foolhardy, I have really high hopes for this little guy. My Lady’s Fool is heading to Lucky Streak next.

[color=blue]LAST WISH[/color]
ICh. To Die For (B) x Wish For Ribbons - WCh. As You Wish (B)
9.0h mahogany bay colt

Second foal for this multi-winning mare. With 6 wins and over 50% of her races in the top four, I’m hoping this guy holds his own. Wish For Ribbons is headed to Sponsored next.

That’s a bug - mares should either die in foaling or retire within the normal span.

15

I wondered about that.

16

I’ve un-retired Dreamfield.

[color=blue]SILENT EXPRESSION[/color]
WCh. Express Yourself (G) x Silent Turn (G) - Ch. Turn n’Burn (S)
10.1h dark bay colt

Full brother to [color=red]GCh. Face The Music[/color] (2018)

So incredibly excited to announce the arrival of this little guy! His full sister is nearly stud-qualified herself, so here’s to hoping he decides to follow in her footsteps.

Silent Turn was bred on a lease and has returned to her home stable.

Seems like most of the March babies are taking classes in procrastination while the April babies are already making their appearances.

[color=blue]ANCIENT COAST[/color]
NCh. Ancient Magic x Costa Marta (S) - Rock of Gibraltar
9.2h bay colt

Originally due middle of April, but this little guy apparently couldn’t wait that long.

1/2 brother to [color=red] Crisanta[/color], who was stakes placed as a 2YO.

Costa Marta goes to First Born Son next.
