Less than an hour to get your name suggestion in. Just sent mine. If you go on the FB page, there are some doozies that people threw out there and by "people" I mean 13 year olds that love pretty horsies. I'm sure most of the folks won't think to check the registry to see if it's available in all its ridiculous glory so Stonestreet will have a mess of sorting that first. The next large chunk will have gone with Alexandra's Curlin or some variation from what I can tell.

I wanted to come up with one more apropos as far as Jess or the pedigree was concerned, but the one I liked most just didn't do that. It might seem out of the blue. I don't anticipate it getting selected just for that, but I figured it was worth a shot. I'll use it myself one day if they don't pick it. I hope a DTer gets the honors.

Rachel and baby grazing together. He sure is a growin' boy. I wonder what's up with the name situation.

Very cute. Hope Trackrat wins! Gotta love spring in Kentucky, all the mares and babies by the roadside ...
