Tee Hee, someone has goggles!

He's going to end up looking like dad.

Thorn Song was one of the sires I picked for Bloodhorse's Maiden Watch group. With the recent loss of Unbridled's Song and his promising son, Rockport Harbor, I'm interested to see whether Thorn Song will do well with his runners.

I am in love with the little Tapizar colt in the blanket. Can they get any cuter???

And the Lucky Pulpit filly looks like she has quite the engine.

I don't think I've seen one picture of a Thorn Song foal that isn't going to be gray!?

Aga Khan Stud announces 4 foals for Redoute's Choice

In Ireland, Ballymacoll Stud’s first foal of 2014 was a bay colt by the Champion sire Redoute’s Choice. Stud principal Peter Reynolds said of him: “The foal is a good strong sort and an excellent first foal and we are very pleased with him.” The dam, Fleur de Cactus, is a winning Montjeu mare who is herself a half-sister to Desert Bloom the dam of the Ballymacoll bred recent Melbourne Cup winner Fiorente.

At Haras de Bonneval, the first foal for Redoute’s Choice was a filly out of sprint Listed winner Kerasona (Oasis Dream). Further foals are expected this season from the Aga Khan’s broodmare band, including those of dual Gr 1 winner Shareta (Sinndar), of Champion Zarkava (Zamindar), Ashalanda (Linamix), Sagawara (Shamardal) and Tanoura (Dalakhani).

In France, the Wertheimer Brothers’ Haras de Saint-Leonard welcomed a filly foal out of maiden mare Monst (Monsun). Stud manager Pierre-Yves Bureau commented: « This filly is full of quality and well -proportioned; she is a nice first foal. This augurs well for the future, as we have sent several mares to Redoute’s Choice, including Goldikova’s dam. »

The latest birth to date is Brookdale Farm’s, who welcomed a bay filly late last week in Kentucky, a first foal for the Niarchos bred Visual Mind (Kingmambo), a half-sister to juvenile Group 1 winner Pathfork, who beat Casamento and Zoffany in the National Stakes.
