Spendthrift Farm s Coal Front, the five-time graded winner and earner of over $1.8 million, sired his first reported foal on Jan. 26 when a filly was born at Shade Tree Farm in Ocala, Fla.
“This is a good foal. Nice, big, strong filly with a lot of leg, good shoulder and hip. I like her best of the three foals the mare s had,” said Bert Pilcher, owner of Shade Tree Farm. “She was quickly up and quickly nursed, everything was perfect. If I owned the stallion, I d sure be happy about this foal. I think she s going to be a knockout yearling.”
