The fillies and colts from Foal Patrol Season 1, now 2-year-olds, are receiving official names and beginning their racing careers. One of the first fillies born during Season 1 has an official name and broke her maiden this past weekend. Centre Court18, by Medaglia d'Oro out of Centre Court, has received the official name of Navratilova. On Aug. 21, she raced at Ellis Park in a maiden special weight race, breaking her maiden her first time out. She is being trained by Rusty Arnold for owner G. Watts Humphrey, Jr.
Memento d'Oro18, by Bodemeister out of Memento d'Oro, has received the name of Seahorse d'Oro. Old Tavern Farm, where she resides, held a naming contest and the staff chose the name from many submissions to reflect her lineage and head marking. We all look forward to the start of her racing career.
Old Tavern Farm hosted a virtual farm tour in collaboration with the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. The recording of that tour is below with participants of Foal Patrol including Seahorse d'Oro, Comme Chez Soi19 and Alpine Sky.
