The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is launching an innovative new project called Foal Patrol, a one-of-a-kind collection of live web cameras where people can view real-time streams of several in-foal mares during their pregnancy through foaling.

The live camera feeds will be available beginning Dec. 19 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST daily with extended hours as the expected foaling date approaches.

The live cameras can be accessed for free by visiting FoalPatrol.com. The website is optimized for viewing across all media platforms, including tablets and smart phones.

“We are delighted to be the first to offer this one-of-a-kind program that will build new fans and strengthen insights for racing enthusiasts,” said Cathy Marino, the museum’s director. “We are so thankful for the creative mind and generous heart of our president, John Hendrickson, who brought the museum this opportunity. In addition to creating the concept of Foal Patrol, Mr. Hendrickson and his wife, renowned philanthropist and Thoroughbred owner Marylou Whitney, are underwriting most of the project
