Sire: Ghostzapper
Dam: Little Miss Protocol by El Corredor
Foaled 2016
Little Miss Zapp is the first foal out of CGF star Little Ms Protocol. She was unraced due to a minor injury.
Little Miss Zapp is a half-sister to the exciting colt The Great One, who was recently 2nd in the G2 Los Alamitos Futurity and is on the Kentucky Derby trail!
She is by the leading broodmare sire Ghostzapper (a daughter of his produced Triple Crown winner Justify). She is currently carrying her first foal by top 15 general sire Goldencents (by Into Mischief).
Vekoma was one of the fastest horses in the country in 2020 and will likely be voted champion sprinter at the year-end awards. He won the prestigious and important sire-making race the Met Mile (G1) at Belmont Park and also won the Carter H. (G1). As a 3-year-old, he won the Blue Grass S. (G2), an important Kentucky Derby (G1) prep. Interestingly, he is also a Grade 1 winner, by a Grade 1 winner (Candy Ride) out of a Grade 1 winner (Mona de Momma).
This mating will create some very interesting linebreeding in the resulting foal – Mona de Momma (dam of Vekoma) is by a son of Gone West (Speightstown) out of a daughter of the great mare Long Legend. Little Ms Protocol (dam of Little Miss Zapp), is a granddaughter of Mr Greeley, who is by Gone West out of Long Legend.

Mum has an excellent pedigree: she is by champion sire Tapit and a full sister to G3 winner and G1 producer Hightap. Still only 9 years old, Mum still has plenty of years of promising production ahead. Her first foal was a winner and her 3rd foal is a 2 year-old colt by Hard Spun named Henning that is training well for the Delhommes and will race in Louisiana.

Mum is currently not in-foal and will be bred early in 2021.
Practical Joke is a very exciting young son of Into Mischief. He was a multiple G1 winner and his first crop of 2-year-olds race in 2021, so there is a lot to look forward to next year. The sky’s the limit for him as a sire.

Sire: Bluegrass Cat
Dam: License Free

Mare Notes: Purchased for $67,000 (in-foal to Violence) at Keeneland Nov ‘14
Plus One has already achieved the most difficult thing for a broodmare to do, producing the Grade 1 winner No Parole (the first Grade 1 winner bred by Coteau Grove Farms!) Less than 1% of horses are G1 winners, so she is in rarified company. No Parole was named Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association 2020 Horse of the Year.
After breaking his maiden in his only start as a juvenile in 2019, No Parole (Violence-Plus One) won a Fair Grounds Allowance race by 13 1/4 lengths in his first start at 3, followed by a 6 1/2 length victory in the Louisiana Premier Night Prince at Delta Downs. In June, he won the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes at Belmont defeating Echo Town in the process. He had four wins from seven 2020 starts. His year end earnings of $270,866 were the highest of any Louisiana Bred runner last year.
Plus One is bred back to multiple champion sire Tapit. She has a 2021 colt by Curlin.
Tapit has produced a number of high-class stakes winners out of Storm Cat line mares, including G1 winners Careless Jewel, Chasing Yesterday, Hansen, Sweet Loretta, Tell a Kelly etc. Overall he has sired 27 Grade 1 winners and the earners of over $163 million on the racetrack
