Thursday, the 26th? I thought that would be a photo from Britain, maybe.
Is it already Thursday in Kentucky? Is this the new, 'alternative' Trump method of keeping time?

You're looking at the first Gainesway-sired #EmpireMaker filly, foaled Jan. 24 at Don Alberto Farm out of Struck It Lucky (Smart Strike)

What a little cutie, she has legs for days!

It's from tomorrow's TDN. The date is from that. Screencap.

Is this Pharoah's first reported solid foal? All the others have had a lot of bling

Hard to tell for sure, but this guy looks like he's going to stay a chestnut. Love the blaze.

#LovetheChase, dam of 2X HOY #CaliforniaChrome, had a #Tapit colt on 1/25/17 at #AtlasFarm. #SFBloodstock @ABRLive @TeamABRLive

I don't know about staying chestnut....a grey muzzle and it looks like his eyelashes are also grey?

That lightning-strike blaze is striking. Bolt of Chrome? Lightning Chrome?

I see Bloodhorse's headline describes him as a 'Half Brother To 'Chrome.' You'd think Bloodhorse should know what constitutes a three-quarter sibling.

First foal is a filly for Normandy Invasion

Keane Stud’s Normandy Invasion, Tapit’s one-mile track record-holder at Gulfstream, sired his first reported foal on Jan. 14th when a filly was born at Hilltop Stables in Deposit, N.Y.

Bred by Carl Bennett, the chestnut filly was produced from the Harlan’s Holiday mare, Miss Doc Holiday. “She is a big, strong filly with good bone, lots of leg and an attractive head,” said Bennett.

Spendthrift Farm’s Palace, the multiple Grade 1 winner and leading sprinter by City Zip, sired his first reported foal on Jan. 18th when a filly was born at Hilltop Stables in Deposit, N.Y.

Bred by Carl Bennett, the chestnut filly is out of the young Afleet Alex mare Rhetorical Colors, who hails from the immediate family of Grade 1 winners Mineshaft, Tomisues Delight, Runup the Colors and multiple other graded stakes winners.

“She is a nice-sized, leggy filly with a great profile, tremendous presence and an abundance of quality,” said Bennett. “She has an attractive head with a huge white face, and looks very much like the foals we have seen sired by City Zip.”

Hilltop Stables Facbook page has a picture of this one, too cute to not post.

His muzzle is... well, muzzle colored. And it's hard to tell what color his eyelashes are, but he doesn't have the tell-tale goggles. With his mom being a chestnut and Tapit throwing his fair share of chestnuts, I think this colt is gonna stay chestnut.

He's an adorable colt with a very striking blaze. Wish we knew who purchased Love the Chase.

So cute! Ha... I was starting to think that I was seeing a lot more fillies this year (in general), thought it might be my imagination, maybe not
