THE foaling season is well under way at Cheveley Park Stud where some 30 foals have been born in recent weeks, including seven foals by Ulysses (Galileo). After foaling a Medaglia D’Oro (El Prado) filly in 2018, My Hope (Afleet Alex) gave birth to the first Ulysses foal on the farm when she delivered a filly on January 22nd. My Hope was bought at Keeneland in 2017 for $525,000 and is set to visit Cracksman (Frankel).

Other recent recruits to the broodmare band at Cheveley Park have also produced Ulysses foals. Mesa Fresca (Sky Mesa), a $2 million purchase at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton November Sale foaled a colt on February 4th. Mesa Fresca is dam of Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks winner Harmonize (Scat Daddy) and a War Front (Danzig) yearling filly, and she returns to Ulysses in 2019.
