I get their reasons - but Lord, that’s so anti-climactic.

Reminds me of polo player Cambiosio and all his polo pony clones. They have a letter and a number.

What an awful name! I guess it's some kind of football term. Well, we know he won't be winning the Kentucky Derby with a name like that.

Someone on Twitter mentioned Behold the Moment. I thought that was a clever way to include both parent's names.

That was my first thought....

No, the next one is QEII.

I submitted Behold The Crown

^^^I don't like that name much, but will probably get used to it...like I did with Cozmic One.

I think Champion Rose loves her new #pointofentry colt, don’t you? @TeamABRLive @AdenaSprings #foalwatch #foalfriday

I was being generous when I said Anti-climactic. I meant terrible. Just so terrible.

Yes. Yes I was too.

Just awful. But we've seen this before.

I saw on Twitter earlier the person who won the name contest. It was originally Qee B One. But the JC didn't accept that, so they shortened it to Q B One. Or something like that.

Yuck QB one is a terrible name and not very imaginative

On this day of records, another of the Aga Khan champions, #Zarkava, turns 13. The 2008 Gr.1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner gave birth to a strong colt by the mighty #SeaTheStars earlier this week and will visit Dubawi. #racinglegend #happybirthdaychampion

Is that a thing in TB breeding? A foal by the same sire but out of a SISTER to the dam is considered a 'full brother in blood?'

I guess I would have called the new foal a full COUSIN in blood.

i thought that was considered a 3/4 sibling? 3/4 always confused the bananas out of me, tho.

All 4 grandparents are the same = full by blood

The link in my above post explains 3/4, full, etc
