Birth of a Champion

I was contracted for a project in Georgetown Kentucky installing one of my Epoxy Surface Plates for the Performance Engineering Research and Development Center at the Toyota Factory. Our rental house was part of Clark Farms in the middle of Kentucky Horse Country and next door to some very special stables. This Mare is the famous 'Cape Caroline' winner of several prestigious races with her TWO DAY old colt who has not yet been named. The sire of this foal is 'Get Stormy', a famous stallion in his own right from the area. My thanks to Steven Hayes for inviting me to conduct this photo session of the new born on his first outing with mom. The plans are for this little guy to be the next Triple Crown winner in about three years.
