While I wait anxiously for their foals to be born, I'm also interested in who Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta will go to in 2012. I wish they would announce it.

I bet neither has made a final decision yet and wants to see the foals first. It isn't like either mare would have trouble having a shed date cleared for her.

Given the fan obsession status of both mares, probably better to not encourage expectations before they both have healthy foal outs.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but a DRF story today mentions Always a Princess will be bred to Medgalia d’Oro in 2012.

Always a Princess breeding plans
Always a Princess, winner of two Grade 2 stakes earlier this year, will be bred to Medgalia d’Oro in 2012, owner Arnold Zetcher said.
The 4-year-old filly suffered a sesamoid injury in the stretch of the Grade 1 Santa Margarita Stakes on March 12 and later underwent successful surgery to stabilize the injury. Zetcher said that veterinarians have given approval for Always a Princess to be bred.
“The vets have cleared everything for breeding,” he said.
Always a Princess won 5 of 10 starts and $516,048......

Exciting! I was really hoping that she'd see MDO.

I agree completely, still doesn't make me any less anxious to see the plans though.

I'm really liking some of these breedings that have been posted lately.
Silence Beauty - Pulpit
Champagne D'Oro - Bernardini
Always A Princess - MDO
Title Seeker - Blame (maybe my most favorite? Yep it is)

I like all of those too. Very excited for those foals.

Blame should be great for Title Seeker.

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere here.

Mighty Caroline to Lonhro

Interesting. I wonder what other notable mares Lonhro might be getting, especially from Darley.

I'm also very interested in seeing what kind of book he gets. I hope he gets some nice mares.
