how is it determined who the owner of this new born colt is? Is it the Jackson's who own Rachel and Curlin? Is it the Farm where she was bred and delivered the colt? Or is it an owner who essentially invested in the unborn colt once Rachel was in foal?

Typically it will be the owner of the mare.

Gorgeous boy. Looks a lot like his momma, of course I'm probably projecting because he's bay. I'm curious what Curlin's imparted physically. Taco's the only one raised by RA who let him be pretty independent so I wonder how that affected his personality compared to her filly by Bernardini. She was a pretty huge foal so I'm curious how big she is now.

I'm curious as to whether they've made a permanent decision about Rachel's future.

I can't remember exactly how they came up with that barn name, but I wanna say that back when they were asking fans to help come up with something, a name got suggested that was really off the wall and Taco was part of it. It amused them and that part of it stuck. I'd almost rather have had that happen than to win the "Jess's Dream" draw out of a hat where you're one of many who came up with the same thing. They'll be calling him Taco a lot of the time.
