Sabbatical

February is shaping up to be an exciting month for Foal Patrol Season 1 mare Sabbatical! On February 3^rd at Claiborne Farm,  this proud mom gave birth to a War Front colt who’s a full brother to Sabbatical’s 2018 Foal Patrol foal Tour of Duty.

This Saturday, Tour of Duty will make his racing debut in the 7^th race at Gulfstream Park. Tour of Duty is co-owned by Phipps Stable and Peter Brant and trained by Chad Brown. Want to see Tour of Duty when he was just a few days old? Check out the Foal Patrol video below!

Best of luck to Tour of Duty from the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame and all the Foal Patrol fans!

Season 1 update: Tour of Duty was privately sold to White Birch for $700,000 at the Keeneland September sale on September 9, 2019. Phipps stable will retain 20%.

Season 1 update: The Phipps Stable's yearling colt Tour of Duty will be at the Keeneland September sales today (Monday, Spetember 9), Hip #58. 

"Tour of Duty, a War Front colt out of the winning Medaglia d'Oro mare Sabbatical, was the first foal delivered in the first season of the Museum's foal Patrol project. Tour of Duty, who is set to sell on the first day of Keeneland September, had his name chosen via a Foal Patrol contest, as the Phipps stable agreed to select his name from viewer submissions." - Nicole Russo, "Foal Patrol star set for Keeneland September"
