Dale Ladner's Cilla , a daughter of California Chrome bred in Louisiana by Ladner and Brett Brinkman out of the Into Mischief mare Sittin At the Bar, was selected as the 2021 Louisiana Horse of the Year.
Trained by Brinkman, Cilla was selected from among the Louisiana divisional champions by the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association Board of Directors.
After winning the 2021 Louisiana Legends Mademoiselle at Evangeline Downs in June, Cilla took her show on the road to Monmouth Park, where she took the Blue Sparkler Stakes by 2 1/2 lengths, running 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:03.07.

Sittin at the Bar won 11 of 19 starts, including nine Louisiana-bred stakes, earning $705,896, and has produced nothing but runners.

In-foal to Justify
Sire: Can the Man
Dam: Halo River by Irish River
Foaled 2016
You Caught My Eye is a very exciting new addition to the CGF broodmare band. Not only is she a half-sister to the Canadian champion and multiple Grade 1 winner Catch a Glimpse (by City Zip), she is also a half-sister to Old Forester, a Grade 3 winner who was leading sire in Canada on 5 occasions.
On top of all that, she is in-foal to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, who is currently the leading 3rd crop sire in North American and has already sired Grade 1 winners in each of his first 2 crops.
Improbable was the leading older horse in the country in 2020, racking up Grade 1 wins from coast to coast. He was also a top class 2 year old and 3 year old, going off as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. He is a son of City Zip, so the resulting foal will be very closely related to Champion Catch a Glimpse.

In-foal to Justify
Sire: Fort Prado
Dam: Excellent Idea by General Meeting
Foaled 2012
Prado’s Sweet Ride is one of the star new additions to the Coteau Grove broodmare band. She was an incredible racemare, winning 8 times in 32 starts, earning $559,000. She was a graded stakes winner on both dirt and turf, indicating both tremendous ability and versatility, 2 huge factors in today’s racing and breeding industries. A big, great looking individual, Prado’s Sweet Ride has already proven she can throw exceptional offspring, as her first foal by Speightstown sold for $340,000 last November, the highest priced offering by that stallion.
Prado’s Sweet Ride’s attributes and race record allowed her to gain a prized spot in the book of champion sire Into Mischief, far and away the best stallion in North America and one of the best in the world. Into Mischief sired the winners of over $22 million in 2020 alone, including 12 individual graded stakes winners.

She was also 3rd in a very fast renewal of the Dogwood Stakes at Churchill, finishing behind champion Covfefe and Grade 1 winner Bell’s the One. To top it all off, she is carrying a foal by the Kentucky Derby winner and champion freshman sire Nyquist! Nyquist has already sired 2 Grade 1 winners from his first crop from A.P. Indy line mares.

Sire: Medaglia d’Oro
Dam: Glittering Tax by Artax
Foaled 2017
Gold Souk has a huge, global pedigree. A $650,000 weanling herself, she is a half-sister to the superstar mare Miss Temple City (sold for $2.5 million) and the graded stakes winner Pricedtoperfection (sold for $775,000). Her yearling half brother by French sire Almanzor sold for $330,000 earlier this year. Miss Temple City’s first 2 foals are by global giants War Front and Frankel, so there is every possibility that this already stellar pedigree will continue to expand in the coming years.
Gold Souk is in-foal to the legendary Speightstown, carrying a foal bred on the same cross as G1 winners Rock Fall and Competitionofideas.
Gold Souk is due in late April so will be left open for 2021. She could potentially be sent to Europe to be bred in 2022!

Sire: Algorithms
Dam: Spirit Rising by Dehere
Foaled 2016
Taylor’s Spirit is a gorgeous, speedy stakes-winning mare, who earned $285k on the track. She won 4 of 5 starts as a 2-year-old, including the Happy Ticket S. at Louisiana Downs. As a 3-year-old she was placed in the G3 Iowa Oaks and G3 Charles Town Oaks. Overall she had 6 wins and 12 top-three finishes in 16 starts.
Taylor’s Spirit has a number of top broodmare sires in her pedigree, including Bernardini, A.P. Indy, Dehere, Deputy Minister and Rahy, which bodes very well for her career as a producer.
Dark Bay or Brown Mare
Booked to Complexity 2021
Sire: Pleasant Tap
Dam: Zarb’s Fancy by Zarbyev
Foaled 2007
Harlie’s Dreams was a heck of a racehorse, earning almost $400k on the track. She is one of the best looking mares on the farm and has thrown great foals so far. She had some bad luck early in her broodmare career, losing twins twice. Her first baby is now a 2-year-old named Weyu (by Speightster) which we sold for $60k as a yearling in 2019. She recently had her first works at Fair Grounds with Lee Thomas for leading owner Keith Plaisance and will hopefully be a productive racehorse in 2021.
Her yearling by Custom for Carlos was the highest priced yearling by the sire in 2020, selling for $31,000 to leading Louisiana trainer Scott Gelner. Her current weanling by McCraken is another excellent physical specimen that we have strong hopes for in 2021.
Harlie’s Dreams is currently not in-foal for 2021 (she was bred to the LA sire El Deal but did not conceive)
Complexity is one of the most exciting new stallions to enter stud in 2021. A Grade 1 winning 2 year old by the rising sire Maclean’s Music, Complexity was the most expensive yearling by his sire ever at auction. He won his debut at Saratoga by open lengths in fast time and came back in his second start to win the G1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park. He returned at 4 this year to win the G2 Kelso Handicap at Belmont and was a close 4th in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) at Keeneland. He is booked full for 2021.

Sire: Unbridled’s Song
Dam: Buffythecenterfold by Capote
Foaled 2011
Gypsy Princess is a daughter of the champion broodmare sire Unbridled’s Song. His daughters have produced 187 stakes winners to date! Buffythecenterfold was a multiple graded stakes winner of over $527k.Gypsy Princess has a yearling filly by Point of Entry that was a $160k yearling at Fasig-Tipton October ’20, so there is considerable upside in this mare if that offspring goes onto be a good runner. That horse will be trained by leading trainer Brad Cox, who won 4 Breeders’ Cup races in 2020! She is currently in-foal to a promising young son of Candy Ride – Unified. He has his first crop of runners hit the racetrack in ’21.
Gypsy Princess is booked for 2021 to the exciting new stallion Instagrand, a G2 winning son of the all- conquering Into Mischief! Instagrand was the best 2-year-old in the country in 2018.

Sire: Kitten’s Joy
Dam: Senada by Pulpit
Foaled 2017
Bonaca is a young mare with a big pedigree and lots of upside for the future. She is by leading sire Kitten’s Joy, one of the best global stallions of the past decade. Her half-sister Layla Noor sold for $660,000 to Shadai Farm in Book 1 of the November sale. Her mother Senada was a stakes winner at Keeneland and graded stakes placed at Keeneland and Saratoga. Further down the pedigree, her mother’s full sister produced the current stakes winner Gingham, who sold for $1 million in book 1 to Claiborne Farm.
Munnings has established himself as one of the most affordable, proven stallions in the business. A son of the legendary sire Speightstown, Munnings has had a banner year in 2020, with graded stakes winners Venetian Harbor, Bonny South, Finite, Warrior’s Charge etc to his name this year. He is currently ranked 7th in the nation in earnings. He has already sired the stakes winners Free Rose, Barkley and Lake Sebago on the same cross as Bonaca.

Bay Mare
Booked to Quality Road 2021
Sire: Harlan’s Holiday
Dam: Gottahaveadream by Indian Charlie
Foaled 2014
Gottahaveholiday has an exciting, current pedigree, as her younger 3/4 sister Dayoutoftheoffice is one of the top 2-year-old fillies in 2020. Since the November catalog was printed, she won the Grade 1 Frizette Stakes at Belmont and finished 2nd in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. She looks set to be one of the top 3 year old fillies in the country next year.
Gottahaveadream herself placed multiple times in top company on the east coast. She was a $230,000 yearling and possesses the size and good looks we are looking for.
Quality Road is one of the elite sires in the U.S. His fee has been reduced from $200k in 2020 and offers great value relative to what is in the pipeline. For a young stallion, he has already achieved incredible results on the racetrack and in the sales ring. He has sired 11 Grade 1 winners in his first crop, and looks poised for further success with what is coming in his next few crops. Among his top performers are Kentucky Oaks winner Abel Tasman, multiple Grade 1 winner and exciting young stallion City of Light, and additional G1 winners Bellafina, Caledonia Road, Dunbar Road, Klimt, etc.
