Winbak Farm is proud to announce the arrival of its first 2021 foal. The colt is sired by The Bank and out of the mare, Clover Market.

He arrived at 7 a.m. on Friday (Jan. 15). He was born at Winbak Farm of Maryland in Chesapeake City.

“The colt is doing great and is very handsome,” said Garrett Bell, general manager. “We have been highly anticipating the arrival of foals from The Bank.”

This is the second foal from Clover Market. She has a daughter Victors Vicky, 1:55f ($712,342).

The Bank, 2, 1:53.4; 3, 1:50.4 ($1,214,895), stood in Sweden before moving to Ontario in 2020. He is currently ranked sixth for 3-year-old trotters in Sweden against tough trotting competition such as Bold Eagle and Muscle Hill.

“We look forward to seeing the rest of The Bank’s first North American crop,” said Bell. “With his pedigree of international champions, we have high expectations for the racing careers of his offspring.”

The Bank stands at Winbak Farm of Ontario for $5,000 (Cdn).
