“He wanted to be the first one into the barn and the first one out of the barn. If not, then he’d throw a little fit."

How great are these? Like the Queen is a daughter of our phenomenal, brilliant, quirky @BreedersCup & #MetMile winner Corinthian. She went from this adorable foal, to earning @GulfstreamPark black-type, to being the dam of a #KYDerby starter! https://t.co/98DB1WxiaO

Bonus Cute Animal of the Week:

Every week we feature another adorable animal in addition to our cute foals. Mukkoka is showing how racing fans are feeling this Monday morning after a weekend of racing that had everyone too excited to sleep.

In our #Flashback video, orphaned #elephant Mukkoka shows the benefits of having big ears - all the better to turn the 'lights off' when its bedtime. pic.twitter.com/5nxV6FVoVR
