Got KoKo's offspring?

Postby jellac » Mon Feb 16, 2009 12:11 pm

GOT KOKO was a great Tx-bred race mare who made almost $1MM in LTE, retired and was sold (can't remember if she was sold "in-foal" or as a maiden broodmare prospect, but think it was the former?). I thought I would just check up on her at this site:

Per this db she had a '99 foal that sold for $1.5MM (and frankly that date seems wrong to me) and a 2006 by AP Indy appears when you use the Progeny dropdown.

Questions for anyone with a current APR db - Did she truly have a '99 foal that sold that well and if so who was the sire? Filly or Colt? Race record? Any foals between then and the already input 2006? Has her 2006 been sold or named? Is it in training/made its first start?

No. Her first foal is the '06 AP Indy.

Thanks Madelyn - In taking another look at the Pedigree db I now see that the $1.5MM is the price paid for Got Koko herself, a foal of 1999 - which dates are more in line with my memory. Seems like she retired just last year - it was exciting to follow her career for us Texas based breeders. I hope she's still in production and getting in foal - not having any updates since an '06 AP Indy doesn't bode well for her to my mind but maybe she's just being stubborn about 'losing her girlish figure' to raising babies :wink:

Aside from the '06 filly by AP Indy (named Koko Pop), she also foaled an AP Indy colt in '07, and a Ghostzapper colt in '08.

Thanks UmmYeah -

I've also found some out that Got Koko did NOT sell for $1.5MM in 1999 - She was a $30K yearling purchase at the Texas FT Sale I think.

(I don't know what that line in her pedigree drop down about the $1.5 MM refers to - possibally a mistake??).

She sold for $1.5m at the Keeneland November Sale in 2004. Jess Jackson was the buyer.
