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?

Adding to what's already been discussed, I think Jess Jackson's goals for breeding this colt pretty much preclude selling it unless they're talking about standing him at stud upon retirement which is a long way off (knock on wood). If Barbara decided to, I'd be very surprised. It's not like they need the money, and she knows how much the idea of this foal meant to Jess.

I assume Lane's End has the majority share in Curlin, but I could be wrong. Does anybody know? I figured Stonestreet retained a portion and has lifetime breeding rights.
