The first Flower Alley foal is a bay colt out of the stakes winner Country Vision, by Cahill Road, foaled on January 8 at Millennium Farms, near Lexington, KY.
"He's a really nice baby, with plenty of size, bone, substance and just a lot of quality about him," said Marc Wampler, who purchased the mare carrying the Flower Alley colt at the Keeneland November Sale for his client, James Hindman's Rich Meadow Farm.
"I'm super excited about the foal," said Wampler. "In fact, I called [Three Chimneys] the day after I saw the colt and bought a season to breed one of my mares back to him in '08. If they all come out looking like this one, you'll be all set."
The colt is the first foal out of stakes winner Country Vision, who is out of a half-sister to stakes winners Captain Video, A Penny Saved and stakes-placed Dream Me and Buckaroo's Dream.
Flower Alley, a 6-year-old horse by Distorted Humor, won the Travers S. [G1], Jim Dandy S. [G2] and Lane's End S. [G2] and was second in the Breeders' Cup Classic [G1] at age 3. He retired with earnings of $2,533,910, having won or placed in nine of his 14 career starts. The leading son of Distorted Humor at stud, he stands at Three Chimneys for $25,000 guaranteed live foal, payable September 1, 2008, book size limited to 110 mares.
