Festival of Light has a winner from first/only crop to race

From the Texas Thoroughbred Breeders website -

Festival of Light sires first winner with Texas-bred Haveuseenthelight at Lone Star Park



FOL was 'pensioned' from stallion duties after only one season at stud due to his savaging a groom or handler. I don't know how many foals resulted from that first season at stud but I don't think it was a huge book of mares (by KY/FLA standards that is, may have been quite respectable for a first year Texas based stallion).

Equineline.com reports fifty-six (56) foals, six starters, one winner and four placings in twelve starts. This is the only foal crop he will have, as he was then gelded.

I hope to see Music Fest show up in my virtual stable this year sometime, since her mama was a 2yo stakes winner in Texas, and Music Fest is an accredited Texas-bred. She was a really rough tomboy as a baby :shock: ; so much so that the other foals refused to play with her :( , so she had to change her ways to get along with the other kids in the paddock. :oops: :? :twisted:

Loved the horse, looking forward to seeing what his crop can do.
