I had a question, I've noticed that thing on the left side of the foal's neck before. Is that some sort of area left over from when he and Rachel were being medically looked over early on? An injection or blood drawing site perhaps?

No, that resulted from a rabid bite from Smooth Operator.

Merlinsky asked about Lotta Kim early in the thread. I saw the posting on Bloodhorse.com just last week that Lotta Kim has been confirmed in foal to Lookin At Lucky! That isn't one that I ever would have thought of for her, not that there's anything wrong with it. It just surprised me.

2006 - Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro)
2007 - Empire Ruler (Empire Maker) Unraced
2011 - Samantha Nicole (Medaglia d'Oro)

I'm curious to know why she didn't produce any offspring for 3 straight years between an unraced horse that's now a 5yo and Rachel's yearling full sister.

For Stonestreet Farm and Fans of Rachel Alexandra, Social Media is the (Golden) Ticket

And last weekend, Stonestreet offered something more: the opportunity for three lucky fans to go behind the farm’s gates to meet Rachel Alexandra and her foal. Last Friday at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Stonestreet’s digital media manager, Amy Kearns, offered three Stonestreet golden tickets to lucky recipients who were in the right place at the right time

Breeders Cup eligibility site shows she had an Any Given Saturday in 2009.

My 2010 Bris APR shows nothing for 2008 or 2009 though.

I'll be getting the 2012 version soon, I'll check again when I get it.

Nice piece with video of Rachel and her growing boy who appears to be nicknamed Taco with a choice on an actual name in a couple months. They couldn't resist talking about Zenyatta's foal, but it's a fairly Rachel-centric article. This colt sure seems like a real character.
