Did the foal survive?

Sadly not, Crisp.
Smuggler, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2005, died April 16 at Claiborne Farm due to complications from foaling. Her foal, by War Front, was also lost. A member of the vaunted Phipps family breeding program, the 13-year-old Unbridled’s Song mare was out of champion Inside Information and a half sister to Illicit, the dam of multiple Grade 2 winner Gone Astray. Smuggler, who was campaigned by Phipps Stable and trained by Shug McGaughey, won two of three starts a 2-year-old, then returned as a sophomore in May 2005 to win a Belmont Park allowance by 2 ¾ lengths. She then finished second to Round Pond in the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes, followed by wins in the Grade 1 Mother Goose Stakes and Coaching Club American Oaks to wrap up her Eclipse Award. Smuggler returned at age four and raced twice, finishing third in her career finale, the Grade 2 Shuvee Handicap, before being retired due to a bruised cannon bone. As a broodmare, Smuggler had seven foals, with two winners from five runners. Her final two foals are by Malibu Moon: 2-year-old Secret Agenda and yearling Led Astray. Smuggler was buried at Claiborne’s Marchmont Cemetery. |

That caught my eye, that's a very famous image, you'll know if if you see it, it's up there with "your country needs you" as a war poster, still parodied. I'd have assumed she was dead years ago. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/We_Can_Do_It!.jpg |
