Final Round Results: Name Elusive Surprise’s Colt

Foal Circle members—you did it! After three exciting rounds of voting and 185 name submissions, we now have the Top 3 names chosen by you for Elusive Surprise’s colt, affectionately known as Thirteen.

Here are the results of the final round, listed in order of votes received:

🥇 1st Place: A Dozen and Won

Submitted by Amanda Lea
A clever nod to the fact that this is Elusive Surprise’s 13th and final foal, “A Dozen and Won” was the top vote-getter and has now been submitted to The Jockey Club for approval.

🥈 2nd Place: Elusive Silence

Submitted by 10 individuals
A poetic and powerful blend of his dam (Elusive Surprise) and sire line (Tale of Silence), this name resonated widely with members.

🥉 3rd Place: Chapter Thirteen

Submitted by 8 individuals
This name captures the colt’s place in the final chapter of Elusive Surprise’s breeding career—symbolic and story-rich.

📝 What Happens Next?

Per the contest rules, the Top 3 names have been submitted to The Jockey Club in the order above. We’re currently awaiting confirmation to see if A Dozen and Won will be accepted as his official registered name. If it is, Amanda Lea will be recognized as the official winner of the contest!

If the name is rejected, we will move to the next available name in the ranked list until one is accepted.

We’ll share an update as soon as we hear back from The Jockey Club and are able to announce his official Jockey Club name. Stay tuned!

Thank you again for making this such a fun and meaningful experience. Your participation has given this very special colt a name rooted in purpose, creativity, and community. 💙
