I believe we're referring to Amazing Philly. Last I heard, no sire yet. She was retired in 2004 with an injury. Tiger Eyed's baby looks a lot like her. It'd be funny if it ended up racing before she's retired. I swear I don't think I'm going senile but did anybody see if it was a colt or a filly? I only ever saw "foal."

I was wondering a couple things. What does it do for her produce record having a foal that can't go on to produce? I mean it'll be this weird mark on there. Also say they find out who it is, technically a colt in the same pasture would be a freshman sire for one foal right? Do they count that and what does that do for him? Would throw off the stats a bit I'd imagine.
