The colt’s dam, Noble Flirt, who was Emprize’s best friend, succumbed to giving birth. Although Emprize had foaled a filly of her own several weeks earlier, the mare took the colt and raised him alongside her daughter.The two foals grew up together, forming a strong bond that could never be broken. Through their many adventures and racing careers, the two equine athletes proved that dreams do come true.
