Cute boy for Evening Sky, but...does anyone else find it strange that Sagamore uses the silhouette of a Tennessee Walking Horse as the icon for their foal count?

Groupie Doll's colt is now at Timber Town.

Was pleasantly surprised by this news. Though they don't say for sure, I assume the foal is viable as a future racehorse. That'd be fabulous news if so -- it's just fabulous that he made it regardless.

He is cute! Looks small, but I guess that is not surprising.
Did they really ever say much more than he was premature? I can't remember.

He was only about a week premature. I'm guessing there was something else going on.

Am I crazy or will that boy be grey?

I think he is just shedding his foal coat right now and he will stay chestnut.

I read on the Jockey Club's rules that a live foal/no foal has to be submitted for each mare within 30 days of foaling or when she would have foaled. This colt doesn't show up on either the Jockey Club registry or Equineline, since he was born March 5th he should. I know they probably didn't know if the foal would live or die, especially since he was at Rood & Riddle for almost 3 months. What happens if they don't submit the live foal within the 30 days?

It would be great if everyone submitted their live foal reports within 30 days, but many do not. It doesn't seem there is any penalty for not doing so.

That was exactly what I figured but not being involved with the industry, I wasn't sure.

I just read the Bloodhorse article about Groupie Doll's colt. My gosh! I didn't realise he was only a tiny 75 pounds at birth! That is relative to a human child! Luckily he weighs a healthy 200 now!

I'd have to agree. For a mare, a week early is definitely not 'premature'.

I think the post I saw yesterday said he's 150 lbs now? If he was foaled in March he's still just over a large newborn size weight wise. Certainly something was amiss more serious than his being a few days 'early'.

If he were another breed I'd have suspected missed twins. At 75 lbs he was the weight of one. They'd never fail to see or pinch twins with a mare that valuable though so certainly strange. Handsome little guy nonetheless. Be curious to see how much he makes up size wise in the next year.
