AS foaling season gathers pace, a number of stallion farms have announced the first arrivals by their new sires.

On Wednesday, Coolmore revealed that the first foal by Paddington had arrived at Ecurie des Monceaux, where the multiple Group 1 winner himself was raised. Following the filly’s arrival, Monceaux’s Henri Bozo commented: “She is a very well-balanced filly with a lot of class and presence. We are very happy.”
