Name the Class of 2026 Foals — Will Your Name Be the One They Carry Forever?
Both Class of 2026 fillies are officially here—and these will be the final foals for both mares, as their legacy begins to shift to the next generation.
This is your opportunity to help name not just two new lives, but a turning point in two maternal lines that have shaped this program—and may now be carried forward by their daughters.
Whether you’re a Foal to Forever member or joining from the outside, you can be part of this moment.
Meet the Fillies
Lady Dyanaformer’s Filly
Sire: Knicks Go
Foaled: April 24, 2026
Observations so far: Highly intelligent, very curious, and quick to engage with her environment. She moves with purpose and energy—when it’s time to go, she’s already on a mission.
Expected color: Gray
Naming requirement: Should begin with “Lady”
About her dam: Lady Dyanaformer
Sire: Vertiformer • Dam: Lady Macjazz (by Shakespeare)
This is her third and final foal
Lady Dyanaformer is deeply connected to the Horse Husband Stables story. She was the first foal ever bred by the program and went on to become its first racehorse.
Her dam, Lady Macjazz, still lives on the farm, making this a true multi-generational line.
Her previous foals:
Lord Paycasso (by Paynter) — Class of 2024
Lady Calliope (by Country Grammer) — Class of 2025
This filly carries that legacy forward—and represents the next step in a line that may now be continued by her and her sister.
She is also closely related to her older brother, Lord Paycasso. While Paycasso is by Paynter, this filly is by Knicks Go, who is a son of Paynter—making this a direct continuation of that sire line influence.
My Audubon’s Filly
Sire: Zandon
Foaled: April 28, 2026
Observations so far: Highly intelligent, curious, and notably forward. She is very sociable, walks right up to people, and actively seeks interaction. Compared to previous foals from this mare, she is more confident and engaged from the start.
Expected color: Dark Bay (possibly black)
Background: Ties to Whysper Wynd Farm and the “Whysper” naming thread
About her dam: My Audubon
Sire: Americain • Dam: Queen of Monday (by Corporate Report)
This is her sixth foal overall and second for Horse Husband Stables
My Audubon has a unique path into this program.
She arrived from Whysper Wynd Farm already in foal in 2024 as a replacement for Empress Luciana, who was retired from breeding following a C-section delivery of Emperor Caesarion (Class of 2024).
Her first foal for Horse Husband Stables:
Audacious Whysper (by Brody’s Cause) — Class of 2025
This filly continues that connection—and adds another layer to a story that may now be carried forward by her and her sister.

How We Think About Names
Some directions we’ve explored:
Pedigree ties (Knicks Go “K” or “KG”, Zandon “Z”)
Color themes (Silver for gray, Gold for Audi connection)
Personality and early behavior
Birth order (third foal, sixth foal)
Comic books, fantasy and mythology
Whysper Wynd and family lineage connections
There’s no formula—but the best names usually have a reason behind them.
Why This Matters
These names will be:
Called at the track
Recorded in pedigrees
Carried forward through generations
This is one of the few moments where you can leave a permanent mark on their story.
Make it count.
