Here's a video from Stonestreet basically taken when the picture of Rachel getting her mint was. It's just a few seconds, but it's great to see her.

She had at least one other foal die from a virus or something because the Wobber's sufferer, apparently named Empire Ruler per the Breeders' Cup website, was just one. She was barren in 2008 (or at least that's what I assume happened when there's "Horse Not Found" for that year. 2009 she was pregnant to Any Given Saturday but no surviving foal. 2010 barren. 2011 Samantha Nicole, 2012 pregnant to Elusive Quality at some point, no surviving foal. There's a reason Lotta Kim's known for having problems. One foal dying is bad luck, 2 or 3 with maybe a miscarriage in there = problem child.
