Thoroughbreds in North America all celebrate their birthdays on January 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!
Check out Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner American Pharoah’s mother and his brother who was born this year – talk about horse racing royalty!
