00:00Jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, secretariat-like, Raiders Cup-pleasant win!

00:07He won it by eight legs on the wire!

00:10Foaling season got off to a fast start at Taylor-Made Farm as they were represented

00:14by the first foal by Undefeated Horse of the Year Flightline.

00:17Here we visit the new filly and her dam, Grade 1 winner Juju's Map.

00:22We're here with Juju's Map and her Flightline filly, the first one born,

00:28so we're really excited about that.

00:30Just really a blessing to have such a well-bred horse here,

00:34and what a really nice, nice filly she is.

00:37Got a great attitude, she's strong and healthy.

00:41It's a mare's first foal, and she's doing great as a broodmare and a mother,

00:46so everything's going great so far.

00:49She was born on the 12th, and everything's been spot-on.

00:54The All Ball family owned Juju's Map, and she is by Liam's Map,

00:59and they bought her, I believe it was September.

01:03Juju's Map, she won the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades,

01:06and she was a very impressive winner.

01:09The mare's by Liam's Map, and Liam's Map is a half-brother to Not This Time,

01:13so we raised both those horses, which are two of the best horses we ever raised,

01:17and this filly's right from that family,

01:19so it's really exciting to have this filly on the farm.

01:24The mating with her and Flightline matches up very good physically and pedigree-wise,

01:29and you're just breeding the best of the best and hoping for the best,

01:33and it looks like we got a really good one, so we're excited.

01:38The mare looks similar to Flightline as well, but the pair of them made a really good filly.

01:43I'd say it's 50-50 whether they race her or sell her,

01:47but either way, it'll be great.

01:49We've gotten off to a pretty good start this foaling season.

01:52We've got about eight foals on the farm now, and it's been a pretty good start,

01:56so we've got a long way to go.

01:58So hopefully we just keep rolling right on through and have a good season.

02:02You dream about these horses becoming great racehorses,

02:07and this filly's really bred to go a distance,

02:10so maybe someday we'll see her in the oak someday.

02:13That'd be a dream come true.
