Jess's Dream

You may not recognize him by name yet, but we have a feeling this handsome foal is going to live up to his famous parents' reputations. This little guy, named Jess's Dream, was born in January to 2009 Preakness winner Rachel Alexandra and 2007 Preakness winner Curlin.

"He shows a lot of dominant characteristics. He definitely takes charge," a Stonestreet Farm rep tells us. "He's so socialized, just like Rachel. Nothing rattles him."

We know 2013 will be a big year for Jess's Dream - he's racing in the yearling division, and he's also going to become a big brother. Rachel Alexandra is due to give birth in February to a filly sired by 2006 Preakness winner Bernardini. We hope Jess is ready to show his little sister the ropes!
