My inner 5 year old voice is giggling, wishing the first foal was a Fipke horse and we could look forward to Talking Chit hitting the track :lol:

She should have already foaled. They announced last year that she was in foal to Curlin on May 17th. They don't add European born foals on the Jockey Club until later in the year or maybe even next year. So unless Coolmore announces it, will have to wait.

Coolmore frequently waits until like August to report many of their foals, or at least that's when they tend to show up in Weatherbys.

Am I making this up, or are Lotta Kim's foals sometimes raised by a nurse mare? Doesn't she have a history of rejecting her foals. Not that there has been any indication of that for her 2018 foal, just more of a general question.

Re: Tepin, I wouldn't expect Coolmore to release any info until they absolutely need to. Or they may respond to a direct email, not that I'm recommending that.

She rejected Rachel Alexandra, who was her first foal, but I pretty sure she raised them all afterwards. I'm guessing it was being a maiden mare and/or due to the injury she sustained when she was in the training accident.
"she was injured when a loose horse spooked her and she slammed to the ground, suffering a hind end injury that required 278 stitches. Lotta Kim was saved after that life-threatening injury but it has made the process of foaling difficult, and has also made recovery difficult after each birth."
