Grade 1 winner Honor A. P.'s first foal arrived Jan. 27, 2022 at Coteau Grove Farms in Sunset, La. The filly, bred by Coteau Grove Farms is out of multiple black type winner and graded stakes performer Joanie's Catch (First Tour – Caught Speeding, by Saint Ballado).
“The resemblance of this filly to her sire is uncanny, right down to her four white socks,” said Andrew Cary, Coteau Grove Farms' bloodstock advisor. “There is no doubt about who her sire is. Honor A. P. was right up there with the best of his generation and we likely only saw a fraction of what he was capable of. We have two more mares due to foal to Honor A. P., including a mare who produced a $400,000 Saratoga yearling for us, so we are very excited about the sire and his future.”
Honor A. P., broke his maiden as a 2-year-old at Santa Anita by over five lengths posting a 91 Beyer, one of the highest of his generation. The impressive stallion went on to win the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby with a 102 Beyer Speed Figure.
“This filly is really nice, she has good size and a great shape to her with a beautiful head,” said Coteau Grove Farms' broodmare manager Jacob Cyprian. “We're very excited about her.”
Honor A. P. is out multiple grade one winner and multiple graded stakes producer Hollywood Story. He is the highest priced offspring of his sire, having sold for $850,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale.
Honor A. P. stands for $15,000.
