Grade I winner Annapolis (War Front) was represented by his first reported foal Jan. 27 at Claiborne Farm, the farm announced via press release Monday afternoon.
Out of Grade I-placed 'TDN Rising Star' Home Cooking (Honor Code), the colt was born early in the morning and both are reportedly doing well. The young broodmare was purchased by Ramona Bass from FTKFEB in 2024 for $500,000 specifically for Annapolis. The stallion covered 149 mares in his first season at the stud farm. His 2025 fee is $12,500 LFSN.
“The colt was born early this morning and we're very excited about him,” said Claiborne farm manager Bradley Purcell. “It was a nice easy delivery for the first time mother, she's doing great and the foal is good size with correct bone, has good leg under him, very attractive, and has a lot of characteristics of his sire. We're very happy for Ramona and Perry.”
Home Cooking is a half-sister to MSP Gold for Kitten (Kitten's Joy), and their winning dam is herself a half-sibling to MSW Successful Native (Successful Appeal). This is the female family of MGSW Valid Expectations (Valid Appeal) through his half-sibling, track-record setter GSW Little Sister.
