The Seitz family's Brookdale Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, are happily revealing the arrival of what is believed to be Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah's, first off-spring.
He is exceptionally attractive, well proportioned, and, bouncy.

Kakadu is owned by Oussama Aboughazale of International Equities Holding Company.
American Pharoah stands at Coolmore's Ashford Stud, and met 208 mares in his premier season, making him the third-busiest stallion in North America.
Befitting his status as the first Triple Crowner for over three decades, his star-studded initial booking included Take Charge Lady, and, her champion-producing daughter, Charming.
American Pharoah, son of Pioneer of the Nile, advertised a fee of $200,000, but that figure should rise substantially in mid-February, when he stands privately.
