Two-time Eclipse Award winner Ouija Board (GB) delivered her first foal on February 9, producing a bay colt by Kingmambo.
The seven-year-old Cape Cross (Ire) mare gave birth Saturday evening in Newmarket, England, at Lord Derby's Stanley House Stud.
"She has given birth to a colt foal with markings exactly like his mum," said Peter Stanley, manager at Stanley House and brother to Lord Derby. "We are very pleased, and both mum and foal are happy and healthy."
Ouija Board won two classics in Europe and was a two-time winner of the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1), at Lone Star Park in 2004 and Churchill Downs in '06, seasons in which she took champion turf female honors in the United States.
She is due to be covered by Monsun, who stands at Gestut Schlenderhan in Germany.
