As the New Year is getting under way, so is the foaling season at Winbak Farm
.
During the early-morning hours of Sunday, January 15 Winbak Farm welcomed its first foal of the year.
He is a Royal Mattjesty colt out of the Bettors Delight mare Bet On Sis. He is the first of a multitude of foals that will be born between January and June at the main Chesapeake City, Maryland farm.
This is the first foal for the half-sister to JWs Best, p, 2, 1:55.3f; 3, 1:52.1f; 1:50s ($635,564). The maternal family also includes double-millionaire Jake and Elwood, p, 2, 1:56.1f; 3, 1:52.2; 4, 1:50.1 ($2,273,187). She seems to be handling her maternal duties well as a new mother.
The foal will be eligible to the rich Ontario Sires Stakes program. With millionaires on both paternal and maternal sides of the family, Winbak Farm is excited for when this little guy will hit the track. Until then, he will grow up on Winbak Farm of Maryland’s lush fields, like many champions have done before him.
