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."
