I think around this time of year about the foals that will be hitting the ground in just a few short months. Who are you really excited about?
I think the most anticipated mares are GCh Salem (ift High Chances), will be her 2nd foal and the first one bred by GB, Ch Crowd Pleaser (ift Sleipnir) will be half to GCh King of Gondor, GCh Unbridled Frolic (ift to Nightfight) first foal and Ch Mayhem (ift to Nightfight), my starter horse, first foal for her as well.
There are only five weanlings bred by Clicker Lab so far, so I’m really excited for all of them 
(only the taxes are scary 
). Next year there will be more. It’s most exciting to have foals from the mares I raced; for example, [color=red]Ch. Love Signal ran for Clicker Lab since May 2015 and she collected some nice stakes wins. She’s bred to NCh. Bellagio, also Gr. 1 dirt runner.
Another one is [color=red]Ch. Melodramatic, who preferred turf. She’s bred to War Chant, and it will be a linebreeding to Northern Dancer.
[color=red]GCh. Private Party was one of my best racehorses so far, and she’s bred to ICh. Prince Of Wonder. All three will have their first foals next year.
We have alot of new mares, which is always quite exciting. Highlights include:
Nch Soupy, whose first foal by High Chances is line bred 3x5 to Second Chance.
Half sisters and MSWers Ch. Fleeting Lady and NCh. Forgotten Road are also maiden mares this year. They are bred to Foolhardy and I’m Your Angel, respectively.
As always, i am looking forward to Go for Glory’s foal. This year she was bred to I’m No Fool. She’s getting old, so all i want is a live foal.
Demand the Best’s first crop drops next year, so that’s always fun to see. He’s a homegrown stud, so he is extra special.
Many of our mares are still unproven in the breeding barn, but I’m looking forward to foals from:
Easy Senora x V is for Victory; I really like V is for Victory and Easy Senora’s legit 2yo (ie second foal was born too early so she essentially has two 2yo’s) is already stakes placed.
My starter horse GCh. June My Love will have her first foal by my stallion, Joyieux Oiseau, so that’ll be an extra special baby to me.
Midnight Return out of gold-rated Pretty Pumpkin will try and have her first foal (last year was stillborn) by What’s Your Point.
Ch. My Lady’s Princess x As You Wish; there are five Reine-de-Course horses in the pedigree for this foal, crossing What’s It Worth with Cross Roads and Secretariat. My Lady’s Princess is also half to Government Secret.
Ch. Keep Quiet x High on Love; crossing inbreeding to Highland Rogue via sire with What’s It Worth and Planet Hollywood.
And I’m always excited for any of my mares in foal to Joyieux Oiseau.
This is torture, because 3 months is still a long, long wait… 
But I BETTER have to wait 3 months - my first expected foal has a due date in December! D’oh.
This foal crop was a lot less preplanned than my previous crops…but I feel that I’ve narrowed down my brood band to generally better quality mares than previously, and I’m having a lot of success with my current 2YO - 4YO homebreds this year…so hopefully I’ll be surprised by some better-than-expected babies. Due to finances (read: I was flat broke!) at the beginning of the year, I ended up breeding most of my mares to freshman sires - something I prefer to do anyway, just not as much. I also ended up leasing out most of my maiden mares to save the stud fees on them - getting them back & producing under our name is part of the anticipation of the upcoming season. Also, with our first stallion purchased, we are probably focused more on breeding the '18 crop than welcoming the '17 crop at this point, guiltily…but that will change come January, I’m sure!
Some favorites to watch for:
Ch. BOLD JEWEL (Bold Ruler) will give us her first foal, IFT Stressed
Ch. CLASSIC IRISH (I’m A Classic) will give us her second foal, IFT What’s Your Point
Ch. COSMOPOLITAN (A.P. Indy), purchased in foal, carries her second foal, IFT King David
DEIGN TO WIN was leased, and now carries our first homebred WITNESS foal!
DEVIL’S DREAM (Devil May Care) was leased out for her first foal, so her baby isn’t ours, but I’m excited all the same
ETTA JAMES (Jazz It Up) was also leased out for her first foal, same as above
FLEUR’S DEBATE (What’s Debatable)'s oldest, a 3YO just became a stakes winner - IFT Chivalry
HIGHLAND TREASURE (Highland Laird)'s oldest, a 2YO, has never been off the board - IFT Eighteen Karat
KELLY GREEN, purchased in foal, carries the only other WITNESS foal expected to be born at the farm
Ch. KERIA TOON’s oldest, a 2YO, has never been off the board - IFT Take Me Away

KLONDIKE NIGHT’s 2YO is a champion stakes winner already - IFT Formal Occasion
GCh. MADD KAROL will give us her second live foal, hopefully - IFT Express Yourself
MEADOWLIGHT, just because she’s IFT Carrowmore
OH SO SHARP (Dr. Time) has jumped to gold status thanks to her MSW 4YO daughter - IFT Ring of Fire
RENEGADE SONG (Cigar) has been leased out for her first foal - not our baby, but exciting anyway
ICh. TWILIGHT EMBERS (Irish River) - all her foals are exciting, but now she is IFT I’m No Fool 
UPTOWN GIRL throws consistancy, judging by her two oldest (3YO & 2YO) - IFT Demand the Best
It’s hard to pick the highlights, though, as each has been bred for a reason. 
I’m hoping that some monsters come from the list I skipped over, even.
Oh my gosh…I have a few that are causing my brain to go bust till they hit the ground…
I bred a lot of my best mares to Nightfight this year including…
Married To Quick (G)
