This time of year is among the busiest and most exciting for Thoroughbred farms across the Bluegrass as mares are beginning to foal, giving us a new crop of young hopefuls to cheer for in the years to come.
Among the most anticipated foals this season are those by dual classic winner and champion Big Brown, who stands at Three Chimneys Farm. His first foal, a filly out of Impressive Attire, was born at Swifty Farms in Indiana on January 12 and just today, Three Chimneys marketing director Jen Roytz was kind enough to send on photos of two of his newest babies - a filly out of Gata Bella, located at Buck Pond Farm, and a colt out of Santaria born right at Three Chimneys on Wednesday.
Since everyone could use a little warm and fuzzy happiness to get them to the weekend, here are the photos of the newest “Brownies”.

Santaria baby is really big. I really like all the babies, though. Glad they were born healthy.
