A chestnut, Florida-bred Thoroughbred foal stands tall next to his dam, grey Florida-bred named Barbarella, who stares in the opposite direction of the camera over their paddock fence. The little foal has a star on his forehead, and listens curiously to his surroundings. (Photo by Tracy Bregman.)

This Florida-bred colt is seen standing at Bonheur Farm in Ocala, Florida with his dam, the unraced Florida-bred mare Barbarella, by Cutlass Fax owned by Virginia Tracy Bregman. Bred by Bregman, the colt was foaled June 6 and is by Pleasant Acres Stallions’ Simplification.

Barbarella has three starters, all winners from five foals including multiple stakes-placed Florida-bred Mrs. Ramona G., an earner of $233,195. The colt’s second dam is stakes-winner Beneficial Bartok, by Bartok (Ire), a full sister to stakes-placed Bar Bon.
