It's almost time!

Bet there's a lot of owners crossing their fingers that their mare holds off a few more hours. It's always a gamble when you breed early. Can't wait to see the new babies.

We have 2 mares that are due the 1st week of Jan, one being a maiden and you never know if they will show signs (waxing, sweaating, etc) so we have started night watch early. Usually in NY the cold will keep the mares from foaling on time but it's been so warm out, we think they will foal right on time.

I can't wait to see the foals of Royal Delta and Zenyatta, hopefully she has another beautiful filly to fill the void.

We have a maiden in foal to Declaration of War that's due the first week as well, but no bag yet! So far it looks like she'll go past her due date. I'm doing a foal watch one night a week at the farm and I start the 9th! Can't wait for foaling season to begin!

Danzel Brendemuehl (Classic Bloodstock) with a partner had a Malibu Moon born last night, posted at 2AM. Don't know the sex or dam yet.

I love this time of year, when the babies start poppin'.

Remember when Big Brown went to stud and the cute advertisements that 3C put out? "The Brownies are in the oven."

An Honorable Dillon is in the running for first foal of the year...and the colt is the first for the young Tapit stallion.

That Lemon Drop filly sure stretches out and what a good mom she has. So happy she's strong and healthy being a month early.

Also a first foal for Olympic Glory - it's a colt, but no info about the dam.

This year's first reported Frankel foal was born yesterday at the National Stud/UK. Dam of the colt is G3 winner Chigun (Oasis Dream), who already had a Frankel filly last year.

@DarleyStallions
Our 1st foal of 2016 arrived this morning at Jonabell, a colt by #StreetSense o/o a full sis to Champion Tempera.

Not sure what day she foaled, but Grenobloise went into the ring at Keeneland with her itty bitty Uncle Mo yesterday. A lot of work for nothing really, she was an RNA:
