Duh... just realized the Dreaming of Anna WAS showcased with her new foal -- perhaps that's why she was on my mind!!!!!

Beautiful pictures of Anna and the colt. I would also like to see the Street Cry filly.

I would like to know what is going on with Rags to Riches. I think she has two offspring now. I figure she must be going to be bred for the third time?

Anne , beautiful pictures. thanks so much for sharing them with us.

I'd love to see Life is Sweet when she has her foal. What great mothers these former racetrack beauties! Let them be horses and enjoy their lives.

Anne, you do beautiful work! These pictures are simply lovely. I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a horse and her foal.

Anne -- thanks a lot for the pictures of this girl, it's so nice to see her! Her foal's markings are adorable; I will definitely watch him and I love both of his parents. Thanks again!

Love bDreaming of Anna but would love to hear about the classy ASHADO and of course Rags, Rachel and Zen. Am I right or wrong that the wonderful filly Citronade died? She was a game horse and I loved how hard she tried every time she was on the track. I also would love to know of any top fillies were bred to Kitten's Joy?

What wonderfull pictures. Thank you. I am following fillies and mares in racing now. It is so hard to find and follow the history of the foals of my favorite racing mares. Thanks for the update.

Absolutely agree with the folks that Anna pics are adorable and we would love to see more mares and foals - who wouldn't? LOL But if I may make a departure and go back to the boys - I'd love to see recent pics of few of my favs - Afleet Alex, Hard Spun, Cowboy Cal (where is he anyway?) and of course Va-bred Quality Road, if at all possible. :D Thanks again, Anne.

Great pics - thank you so much. Does anyone know what happened to Smarty Jones first foal - a filly. She looked outstanding and so pretty. Hope she found a good home as it seems she didn't get to the races.

I can't wait to see Rags to Riches' foal by Galileo - I got to see him when I visited Coolmore and was instantly impressed by him. Of all the great stallions I saw that day (Peintre Celebre, Dylan Thomas, Danehill Dancer, Sadler's Wells, Oratorio), Galileo sticks out in my mind. He was so calm and easy going, and he let our group pose with him for a picture with no problem. I wanted to give him a hug and feed him treats but I was too nervous to ask if I could.

I'd love to see some of the beloved pensioners, like Rahy, and maybe catch up with Cigar in addition to following the girls. Thanks for the lovely photos, Anne!

Brielle - Evening Attire is happy & healthy at his forever home - Akindale Thoroughbreds in New York. Check out their website for pictures of EV and other rescued horses. He looks great and just celebrated his 13th birthday. Hotstuffnthensome is also there.

You know what? It's time for the Rachel-Zen bickering to be done. I wish Blood Horse would block posts with the same tired 2009 type comments. "I know it's true", this means you. Stop. Nobody cares anymore. I will be thrilled for both Rachel and Zenyatta to deliver healthy foals and be the same great mothers that Anna looks to be. Wonderful photos. May they both be happy and healthy in their new careers.

O.K. i just thought of an older mare.....How about visiting Cappacino Bay.....MDO's Mom and Rachel's grand Mare!!

Rags to Riches and Galileo? That's sounds like an interesting cross, can't wait to see that foal! How about Ashado, Wait a While, or Honey Ryder? :)

ENJOY the mares. They all put something special into their babies. Just saw that Azeri's second foal won at first asking, she is a chestnut 3 year old filly by Giant's Causeway. Shame that she was sold to Japan. I agree that we need to keep these girls at home. Like the others, I would love to see pictures from some of the other great mares, Pepper's Pride, Halflbridled, Sweet Catomine and Life is Sweet, etc. I just realized that a grandson of Althea won his first race. Some of the really good race mares also excel as broodmares.

I too was very glad to see the photos of Dreaming of Anna (love her name), and her latest foal. I just hope this mare isn't endlessly bred and has some time to just be a horse without anyone wanting anything from her at all. Thanks for the photos and the information.
