Foal Patrol, an initiative of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, has partnered with the Paulick Report in Season 5 to bring you closer to featured mares and foals and to ask farm staff your questions about their care and management over the course of the season.

In this episode with Elate and her Speightstown colt born on March 11, 2022, at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky, Claiborne's Mary Ormsby answers the question, “How did the foaling go?”

Authentic’s Foal Derby: Colts Go Head-To-Head In Week 5 Matchup

The first foals by Spendthrift Farm's Horse of the Year Authentic have begun to arrive, and to celebrate, Spendthrift is hosting a “Foal Derby” to share photos of the stallion's debut crop and reward breeders and fans with prizes.

Each week leading up to the Kentucky Derby, a group of Authentic's foals will be displayed on Spendthrift Farm's social media channels. The two foals with the most likes and shares will face off in the finals each Friday to decide the favorite. Both finalists will then be among 20 horses eligible to win the grand prizes, based on the results of this year's Kentucky Derby. Voters will also be eligible for weekly prizes.

To learn more about the rules and prizes for both breeders and voters, click here.

Authentic, a 5-year-old son of Into Mischief, stands at Spendthrift Farm for an advertised fee of $70,000. He was named Horse of the Year in 2020, following a campaign that saw him earn Grade 1 victories in the Kentucky Derby, Breeders' Cup Classic, and Haskell Stakes.

This week's matchup pits a pair of colts against each other out of dams with very different resumes. One foal's mother is just getting started in her broodmare career, while the other already has multiple horses with graded black type on her produce record.

Click here to vote on the Week 5 finalists. Voting is also available on Spendthrift's Facebook and Twitter feeds.

Let's take a look at this week's finalists…

The second foal out of the placed Smart Strike mare Wise Strike, whose oldest foal is a 2-year-old of 2022. Grade 3 winner and sire Custom for Carlos is in the colt's extended family.

Foal: Colt o/o Concinnous

Bred by: Bridlewood Farm

The 10th foal out of the winning El Corredor mare Concinnous, whose runners of note include multiple Grade 1 winner Iotapa and Grade 3-placed stakes winner Saintly Joan. Argentine Group 1 winner Dandy Del Barrio can be found further down his page.

“It was a very, very good cross when I planned the mating, and one could obviously be excited about Authentic as a racehorse, his performance on the racetrack, and him offering the right performance profile to breed to a Grade 1 producer like Concinnous,” said Bridlewood Farm general manager George Isaacs. “Concinnous herself always has very alpha physical type foals, and she usually throws the best of her strong physical to compliment the best physical of the stallion.

“I was extremely pleased with the foal when he was born,” he continued. “He had everything I thought he'd have. Concinnous has nice-sized foals, and this one is a big, strapping colt with plenty of bone, a very strong top line, pretty darn correct.”
