Thoroughbreds in North America all celebrate their birthdays on Jan. 1, so as soon as the New Year rolls around, so does “foaling season” – that magical time that lasts from the beginning of January through the late spring when racehorse babies are born.

In this weekly piece, we’ll bring you the best of new arrivals to the Thoroughbred world. So sit back, relax, and take in the Cute Foals of the Week for 2020! Want to see cute foals in person? Be sure to visit Horse Country!

Today, I get to introduce you all to my second entry to the 2020 Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover. This is an extra-special introduction, as I have decided to add this talented guy into my personal string of performance horses. I have been searching for just the right horse for about two years. I sell approximately 50-70 Thoroughbreds a year for sport horse careers, so you can understand just how picky I have been. When Mr. Park walked out of his stall at the racetrack, I knew immediately. It was eerie.

Amplify Horse Racing, an initiative to welcome and educate newcomers about the Thoroughbred industry, collaborate with existing initiatives, and promote opportunities for involvement, launched its website.

Amplify is a grassroots organization that was started in 2019 by second-year Godolphin Flying Start trainee Annise Montplaisir, and Madison Scott of Solis/Litt Bloodstock.

In this horse life, we are truly blessed to meet so many amazing equines. We are equally as cursed, it seems, as far too often our amazing friends fall out of contact. While we might have them in our stable mail, watch races, and keep up with their work tab, eventually the notifications stop.
