Sabbatical and her War Front colt | Claiborne Farm

Sabbatical (Medaglia d'Oro–Daydreaming), a mare owned by Phipps Stable residing at historic Claiborne Farm, delivered the first foal of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame's Foal Patrol project at 5:50 a.m. Friday morning. The foal, a bay colt by War Front, was an early arrival. Video of the foaling and several other clips, in addition to the live feed of Sabbatical and her colt, can be viewed at www.foalpatrol.com.

“We're so excited to see the first foal of Foal Patrol. Congratulations to Phipps Stable and everyone at Claiborne Farm,” said Cathy Marino, director of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. “We are thrilled they agreed to be part of this new initiative of the Museum. One of the Museum's priorities is to make the sport of Thoroughbred racing accessible to as many people as possible and Foal Patrol is a wonderful way for people to get unprecedented insight into the breeding of a racehorse, one of the most essential components of the sport. We're looking forward to seeing this colt grow and develop on the way to the racetrack.”
