Rachel Alexandra is a New Mom

[Merlinsky]

Such a cute baby. I'm so glad it was complication-free by all indications. I hate to ask a stupid question, but how's 125 lbs in the scheme of things? It's like when someone tells me how long a baby is in inches, I have no clue what to do with that information. Is he average, big?

Should be interesting to see what a Bernardini - Medaglia D'Oro cross gets us next year. I can only imagine if those genes combined to give us a filly. Who wouldn't want her in their broodmare band?

PS. I was checking out what was up with Lotta Kim. No idea who's she's bred to for 2012. I'd love to know who Rachel's 2011 full sister's named after. Obviously someone named "Samantha Nicole" but you know what I mean.
