00:00Champion Monomoy Girl teamed up with jockey Florent Giroux for all but one of her 17 career starts.
00:08Today we tagged along as the pair reunited at Spendthrift Farm and we met Monomoy Girl's first foal by intermischief.
00:15Hello, how are you? I'm very good.
00:18I met you with a jockey? Yeah, yeah.
00:24That's a nice looking gold. She looks great.
00:30Oh wow.
00:35Something for you.
00:39Hey mama.
00:42Being nice?
00:45You're a nice looking baby.
00:50I'm going to meet this little guy now.
00:53You didn't notice?
00:55Super cute.
01:00Like your mama? Being nice to you?
01:08Are you nice with him? At least?
01:12Oh wow.
01:16Yeah, I miss riding this one. I can tell you that for sure.
01:21Lots of horsepower here.
01:24Maybe I'll ride you one day.
01:30She looks great actually. Her coat looks amazing. She seems very happy and healthy.
01:37She has a beautiful coat. I think everything is going very well for her. I'm very happy for her.
01:43Early on the morning of February 17th, Monomoy Girl had her first foal.
01:48It was a bay colt buy-in to mischief and things really went as smoothly as we could have hoped for.
01:55He's very well made, well put together. He's got great bone.
02:00He's very well balanced and very athletic.
02:04He could not be a more personable foal. He loves people.
02:09The plan for this colt, things can always change.
02:14There's a lot of time between now and next year when he would potentially sell as a yearling.
02:20But I think he's one that we're likely to keep right here in house.
02:25Monomoy Girl is very intelligent. She's mentally very tough.
02:30I think that's one of the things, really two of the traits that made her so successful on the track.
02:36She's definitely not so much of a pet as she is sort of a tough athletic race mare.
02:44She's not really a people horse. She really likes to hang out with people.
02:49She likes to be on her own. If you bring her some treats, she might come to you and see you here for a little bit.
02:56If you come empty-handed, it's not very good to visit her.
03:01She's extremely smart. She's probably one of the smartest horses I've been around.
03:06I'm just very thankful and grateful for the opportunity her owners and trainers have given me to raise such a champion.
03:16It makes me happy to see her here and looking at her. She looks amazing.
03:23We were so happy with this first foal by Into Mischief that we bred her back to Into Mischief
03:30and has checked in foals. We'll now spend about 11 months keeping our fingers crossed and holding our breath
03:38and hoping that we get a nice, healthy, live foal on the ground.
