Are we posing for a Kentucky post card? Nope- that's just how pretty the scenery can be around here! It's been a fantastic spring. This beautiful filly is by @WinStarFarm Constitution and o/o Tempers Flair. pic.twitter.com/oKUqPnkYV7

Great start to the week at Atlas Farm. A big classy MEDAGLIA D’oro Filly for Love The Chase. Making her a 1/2 sister to 2 time HOTY. California Chrome. We have 3 mares yet to foal. Absolutely nothing wrong with a good May foal. Far better result than no foal to race or sell. #SF pic.twitter.com/9tOZq3LeLU

As John Sikura, Headley Bell @headleybell & Craig Banderoff @DenaliStud have reminded me so often, “It’s all about the land, Scott.” I am very pleased with what we’re seeing at the new Xalapa @HillnDaleFarm and the foals this spring.

A new winner for #Dariyan as his son Vissani broke his maiden today. The 3yo is from the first crop of the Haras de Bonneval resident and is a brother to top class stayer Vazirabad.

We’ve skipped over spring and gone straight to summer in the bluegrass with temperatures skyrocketing the next couple of days. This Collected colt sure doesn’t seem to mind! Happy #FoalFriday! ☀️ @AirdrieStud @CormacCB @marettefarrell @zoecadman pic.twitter.com/95DWzLmwEi
