I love this time of year as well!! Nice line up there LB. One of my mares is by MTR, and she is such a doll. Throws beautiful babies, however it remains to be seen if they can run :wink: Her 2 yo colt is at the training farm, and looking good thus far. Time will tell...

Do you sell your babies, or race them yourselves?

We sell most of ours, but we usually keep one from each crop to race.

I love More Than Ready. This is the second time we've bred to him. The first one just turned 4 and is currently racing in Dubai. Best of luck with your 2 year old! :)

Best of luck everyone for safe and healthy foalings!!

My goodness Madelyn! You will not be getting any sleep this foaling season..there sure is not many days between due dates.

Best of luck to everyone, thanks for responding, and don't forget pics! Even I was able to figure out how to do that 8), so if I can do it, anyone can :)

Yes but it will all be over for me in a couple of weeks!! I actually worked to get it done like that so the babies will all be so close in age and easier to manage healthwise, pasturewise, etc.
