Re: Rachel Rachel Rachel All Rachel Rachel The Rachel Time Rachel!...2010!!
I'm just waiting patiently for my name to win so I can go meet the little guy!
Cute photo of Blasi and the colt. Thanks for posting it.
now that is love...He's so much more affable...in all ways, than the devil.Scott Blasi, who actually had the day-to-cay care of Rachel when she was in Asmussen's barn, meets her colt for the first time:
He was hands on with "daddy Curlin", too! You know how thrilled he must be meeting this little fella ... how really special he is to him. Fab pic.

I'll bet he'll be happy when this little fella starts training, too.
Awww the colt looks very sociable too. So in love with the little tyke! Can't wait to see what a strapping racehorse he is!
I would wish you much luck on that if I didn't want me to win so badly, lol.
Me too.
Rachel's colt haas been "the queen of the may" from the moment he was born.
He should be sociable... he is more akin to a "pet" than a tb foal. Loves the camera as Ephip pointed out. He already knows he is "IT"
Compare this foal to one with a comparable pedigree but is one of 20 foals in a field..sent en masse to breaking,training, sales...who arrives better physically and mentally ready. If Rachel's colt doesn't make it to race or become a :"star" it won't becasue he did't get a big head (sic)start!
I remember Jim Squires comment in his book on Monarchos (Not the expose book) on a foal he sold prior to Monarchos.
He said,"he watched this group of foals, and expected this particular colt to be a good racing prospect. Fastest in his group and an alpha sort. With great conformation.
A pinhooker came around and he sold the colt to her for 50k or 100k. He said, "he should have known better...the colt got to FL on a van, and the next time he saw him was at Saratoga sales. He was flabbergasted at how poor this colt looked. He looked sick and depressed. He knew no one was going to bid high for him...or at all. He sold a healthy, high-spirited colt only to have the little fellow deteriorate in a few months.
Not going to happen to this little colt.

What a cute little guy he is! He is such a camera ham!
Adorable.
Questing to find out who the best 3 year old in the country is.

What fun those folks are having with this little fella! Too cute.

RA is stunning.
What color will he be? I see some darker hair, perhaps Bay?
I'd be amazed if he weren't bay, as it's highly unlikely Rachel has a red gene in her.
