Our first FOAL FRIDAY of 2026 is none other than DORNOCH’s first foal!!

This stunning colt is out of the royally bred Four Grands, hailing from the family of Not This Time and Liam’s Map. Bred by Albaugh Family Stable and born at Taylor Made on January 7th.

“If we had a barn full of individuals like this colt then we would be in great shape,” - Steve Castagnola.

DISTORTED HUMOR (1993-2026)

Loved by so many, especially the WinStar team including Elliott Walden and Larry McGinnis, Distorted Humor at age 33 has died. “It’s a deeply sad day for all of us at WinStar Farm to lose a generational sire like Distorted Humor,” said Walden, who also trained Distorted Humor. “We take solace in the legacy he leaves behind.”

The latest Frankel yearling to go in full training is this little fella.

He is owned and bred by the Aga Khan Stud and will be trained the Japan Cup winning trainer Francis Henri Graffard.

He has a heart stamped on his forehead. His dam is a Gr1 winner. Ran 4 times, for 3 wins.

This colt is bred just like CRACKSMAN, NASHWA, HUNGRY HEART on a Frankel x Pivotal cross.

To Everyone Who Supported Aoraki

This time, Aoraki has journeyed to heaven.

Right now, I am simply enveloped in an indescribable loneliness and sadness.

To everyone who has supported Aoraki and showered it with love until now, I extend my heartfelt gratitude🙇

From now on, I believe that Aoraki will gently watch over us from heaven🐴🩵

Additionally, we will inform you of the detailed circumstances at a later date.

I would be grateful if you could warmly cherish the memories of Aoraki in your hearts.

A great part of this year’s Breeders’ Cup was seeing FOREVER YOUNG and his team the morning after he won the Classic. A wonderful horse not just for racing in Japan, but for the whole world. Great memories!
