Spanish Bunny, a 15-year-old mare owned by Gainesway Farm, delivered a colt by stallion Uncle Mo at Gainesway in Lexington, Ky., at 9:20 p.m. on Feb. 17. The foal was the second this season for the Foal Patrol program, the popular webcam series from the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame that is now in its fifth season.
Although Spanish Bunny was two weeks past her expected due date, the delivery went well and both mare and foal are in excellent health. Spanish Bunny is one of five mares participating in Season 5. Traveling Tiger at Safari North Farm at Pauls Mill delivered her filly by Audible in January. The next mare scheduled to foal is Elate at Claiborne Farm on March 13. Also participating this season is Repeta at Three Chimneys Farm (March 31) and Floripa at Old Tavern Farm (May 5).
Foal Patrol is a one-of-a-kind interactive web project of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame that debuted in 2018. Programming includes a collection of live cameras where people can view real-time streams of in-foal mares, as well as numerous educational aspects on the educational site at www.foalpatrol.com/education. The live camera feeds will be available according to each horse’s daily schedule, set by the farm.
