I like the name Bird Patrol

Definitely like the nod to Foal Patrol.... better than Bird Empire or Bird Maker. I hope they do Foal Patrol again next year.

There is a reason of the naming- this is the 3rd colt from the dam that is born on the very same day (I think feb 27)

Saw him the past weekend, very friendly colt.

Oh OK that makes it better. Initially I figured it was just a "he's by Tapit and a Triple Crown brother, so Triple Tap" kind of thinking.
