De Coronado

I had something to post, so I took the initiative and set up the discussion. Could havr put it under Zenyatta, but most of those discussions are about her personally. Siblings &offspring of well known horses, and active and retired thoroubreds. I decided to go with active thoroughbreds, as it assms he seems to just be at the beginning of his career path, and still in training.
Anyway, here is an article about the horses in Aiden O'Brien's stable, De Coronado included.

620 kilograms =
1366.866 pounds. Wow! That is one big boy. And this was from a May 9, 2016 article. Hope he was endowed with that same late power kick and big bounding stride of Zenyatta.
And here is a picture of baby De Coronado with mom Vertigineaux, from the Facebook of Gloria Jeanne.

O'Brien Gives Update On Zenyatta Sibling
Wednesday, 11th May 2016
Aidan O'Brien has provided an update on beautifully bred colt De Coronado (Street Cry-Vertigineux, by Kris S), the 3YO full-brother to champion US racemare Zenyatta. Speaking to At The Races during a tour of Coolmore's Ballydoyle stables, O'Brien said he was looking forward to when De Coronado makes it to the track. "He's absolutely massive! He's probably the biggest horse we've ever had, he weighs about 620kg," O'Brien said. "He was trained in America last year and has come to us for this season. He isn't close to a run yet, but it'll be interesting to see what he can do." Zenyatta, who was crowned US Horse of the Year in 2010, retired that same year with 19 wins from 20 starts and earnings of US$7,304,580 - a record for a North American female. Unfortunately, De Coronado is the last foal of the Kris S mare Vertigineux, who died from colic at Coolmore Stud in 2014.

It looks like he's going to debut on Saturday at the Curragh in a 12f maiden race for Coolmore!
You should just be able to sign up for an account with them (free) and watch it no problem.
EDIT: I think you should be able to watch it on Twinspires too if you have an account with them as well.
That should be a bunch of fun. I have been very interested.
and TVG has retweeted this tweet and posted a picture of him.
