Touchuponastar easily won a La bred Stakes race a few weeks ago at Delta with a 101 Beyer, his 4th 100 + Beyer of his career. Last year he ran 2nd in the Gr3 Sexton Mile at Lone Star. Kind of disappointed that they kept in state bred company, considering his run last year at LS and that he defeated Tumbarumba earlier in the FG meet. Crossing my fingers and hoping Delhomme points him toward the Gr2 New Orleans Classic on the La Derby undercard in late March.
Behemah Star is another nice one, but not on the level of the above three
Can't ever remember when we had three solid La breds like these at the same time.

The 2000s-2010s were flush with win machine La-breds:
Happy Ticket
Star Guitar
Costa Rising
Sunbean
Vicars in Trouble
Hallowed Dreams
Tortuga Straits
Superior Storm
Mobile Bay
Heitai
String King
And the late 90s had some war horses like Scott's Scoundrel, Free Spirit's Joy, Zarb's Magic, & Sarah Lane's Oates
