First Foal Reported for New York’s Mind Control

The first foal for three-time Grade I winner Mind Control (Stay Thirsty) was reported born Thursday, Jan. 4, at Irish Hill Farm in Stillwater, New York. The filly, who is also the first foal out of the winning mare Gentle Annie (Freud), was bred by Blue Streak Racing LLC.

“She looks just like her daddy,” said Irish Hill's Rick Burke. “We all like her a lot. One of her owners was out here and commented that she looks just like her sire. That's a good thing. If they all come out looking like him we'll have some runners.”

For his first season in 2023, Mind Control set New York records for mares bred with 190 and number of mares in foal with 171. Winner of the GI Cigar Mile H., the GI H. Allen Jerkens S., and the GI Hopeful S., Mind Control will stand the 2024 season at Rockridge Stud for $8,500 LFSN as a joint venture between Irish Hill/Dutchess View Farm, Waldorf Farm, and Hidden Lake Farm.

GISW Idol’s First Foal is a Colt

The first reported foal for Taylor Made's Idol (Curlin) is a New York-bred colt, according to the farm. Born on Wednesday, Jan. 3, the colt is out of Meteoric Matron (Mineshaft), a full-sister to MSW & GSP Mine Over Matter, and was bred by Bill Johnson's Stonegate Stables.

“This is the best foal that this proven mare has ever produced,” said Johnson. “He has excellent size and bone. For a January 3rd baby, we have size, bone, and a very strong foal. We love the sire's pedigree. We specifically bred this mare to Idol to get to a son of Curlin and double up the A.P. Indy. The plan worked. We are pleased to have bred the first Idol. We will be returning.”

Idol, who posted a 102 Beyer Speed Figure when winning the 2021 GI Santa Anita H. and who is a full-brother to Eclipse champion Nest, bred 128 mares in his first book in 2023. He will stand for $10,000 S&N as a Repole Stable/Taylor Made Stallions Venture in 2024.
