SUMMARY: Winter Quarter Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, celebrates the arrival of foals each spring. Don Robinson, who manages the farm, raises thoroughbreds for racing and auctions, emphasizing the fertile soil and mineral-rich land that fosters strong bones for young horses. The farm, using solar power to cut costs, has a history of success, notably producing Zenyatta, who became Horse of the Year in 2010. Robinson compares his farm to an investment portfolio, carefully managing horses for owners. As foals are born, there’s hope one might become a champion, capturing the excitement of new life and potential in the horse racing world.

April and May are the months when foals are born on farms across the Bluegrass, and the promise of new life is exciting for horse owners and fans alike. Winter Quarter Farm, part of the Purchased Development Rights program, is one such farm that has protected its land from future development. The farm has produced some notable thoroughbreds, including Zenyatta, who won 19 out of 20 races in her career and was Horse of the Year in 2010. While not all foals will turn out to be champions, the promise of new life is a reminder of the magic of the land.

SUMMARY: The heat is easing with a comfortable weekend ahead. Northeasterly breezes and drier air follow a front that brought showers and storms yesterday, leading to lower humidity and below-normal temperatures. Friday will be pleasant with highs near 84°F and plenty of sunshine. Saturday remains calm and warm with low humidity and breezy conditions. However, shower chances increase Sunday, especially in central and southern Kentucky, due to an incoming system. This rain may continue into Monday and Tuesday with scattered storms, easing by midweek. Temperatures will stay in the middle to upper 80s, with dry conditions returning by Thursday.

WLKY Meteorologist Matt Milosevich has the latest on a break from the heat and humidity, plus when rain chances return in the forecast.
