It is no giant revelation that the Thoroughbred Industry, like the rest of our nation, has experienced difficulties over the last couple of years.

Over time practically everyone has modified their programs and their numbers and are focusing more on quality. We will be seeing positive results if we stay the course. I have great confidence in your ability to manage your business, and along with your passion for the breeding and racing industries, it will serve to deliver us all to a brighter period.

And finally, I propose that we all make an effort to communicate to our State Legislators what our industry contributes in terms of our economic impact and particularly in creating jobs. We certainly appreciate their past efforts on our behalf in Baton Rouge, and hope we can count on their support in the future.

With the new year there will come the normal tasks and challenges that come with breeding and raising horses. These will be addressed and attended to in the usual unassuming and confident manner that has always insured the well being of every individual in our care and the success of our clients. Michelle Lavoice has developed into a seasoned managing professional. Along with her dedicated support staff, she will continue to provide the attention to detail in every aspect of the daily routine. The rule being simple -- to make sure that the usual is accomplished unusually well.

3/23/11 - Afternoon Deelites Pensioned; to Old Friends

Grade I winner Afternoon Deelites has been pensioned due to infertility and will be sent to Old Friends equine retirement facility near Georgetown, Ky. The 19-year-old son of Private Terms had been standing since 2004 at Clear Creek Stud near Folsom, La.

During his racing career, Afternoon Deelites was trained by Richard Mandella for owner Burt Bacharach. Bred in West Virginia by Bacharach’s Blue Seas Music, Afternoon Deelites was an instant success, winning his first three starts as a 2-year-old, including the Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) and Hollywood Preview Breeders’ Cup Stakes (gr. III).

Continuing his winning ways into his 3-year-old season, Afternoon Deelites scored victories in the 1995 Malibu (gr. I), San Felipe (gr. II), and San Vicente Breeders’ Cup (gr. III), and lost by a head to Larry The Legend in the Santa Anita Derby (gr. I). In that year’s Kentucky Derby (gr. I), Afternoon Deelites was eighth to Thunder Gulch .

Afternoon Deelites was retired to Brereton Jones’ Airdrie Stud near Midway, Ky., after his 4-year-old season, during which he notched another grade II victory.

During his stallion career, he sired graded stakes winners Zappa, Deelightful Irving, Three Hour Nap, Monoestrellado, Miss Pickums, and No Tolerance. Moved to Clear Creek Stud in Louisiana for the 2004 breeding season, he sired two Louisiana-bred champions in Princess Deelite and Nob Hill Deelite. Overall, Afternoon Deelites is the sire of 309 winners and 23 stakes winners who have earned more than $21,700,000.

“It is always a sad day when you lose the services of a horse of Afternoon Deelites’ quality,” said Clear Creek Stud owner Val Murrell in a release. “His average earnings per starter of $56,000-plus has made him very appealing to the breeders in Louisiana. He will be hard to replace. I would really like to express my gratitude to Michael Blowen of Old Friends for agreeing to let Afternoon Deelites live out his retirement there.”

Afternoon Deelites was bred to 27 mares in 2010 and currently has 34 2-year-olds.

9/24/10- We are also excited to introduce a new addition to Clear Creek Stud,
veteran trainer, Burl McBride, having come on board to manage our
breaking, training and rehabilitation center. Burl is originally from New
Mexico and has trained horses since 1980 in KY., TX., AR., LA., MN. and IL.
He conditioned such stand outs as TWO STEPPIN’ TONI 9(Champion 2 year old
filly Texas 7 Stakes Races in a row), BRADLEY’S COPY (G3), LT. PEARL
(Martha Washington, The Magnolia Stakes), LORD PLEASANT, PROMISE CITY
STEAK, QUICK LAP, TWO TIMING TEXAN, DRAMATIC JAZZ, and RITA KATRINA among many others.

Mr. McBride also served 6 years on the Texas HBPA Board. He will be at the sale in West Monroe to visit the many who have known him for years and to meet the many we hope he will get to know in the future.

7/3/10 - Happy Fourth of July from everyone at CCS. We wish you all well and hope you are enjoying a great day with friends and family. We especially want to take the time to congratulate all of the winners and their connections from last nights Evangeline Downs Louisiana Showcase Night.

Of course we wish to express our special congratulations to Evelyn and Maurice Benoit for their exciting wins with Miss Bean Wah, by Afternoon Deelites, who won the $100,000 Louisiana Showcase Distaff and set a New Track Record and the ever-magnificent Star Guitar winning the $100,000 Louisiana Showcase Classic, who is nothing short of phenomenal. We would also like to congratulate Red Oak Stable and Summerhill Equine, owner and breeder of Shezacrazygirl, by Ide, who won the $75,000 Louisiana Showcase Mile in remarkable fashion. And finally congrats to Al Stall, Pam Fitzgerald, et al who trained all three of these athletes. Their talent and hard work helped make these things possible. If this were not some sort of record for a trainer and assistant team, it would have to be awfully close.

Again Congrats to everyone and have a great Day in celebration of our Great Nations Birth….

Sincerely,

Val Murrell

The foaling and breeding season is coming soon with planning and hard work in everyone’s future, all welcomed with keen anticipation.

The New Year will bring many changes, some challenges, but as always you can depend on the dedication and experience offered by Clear Creek Stud, LLC.

Half Ours was undefeated at two, breaking his maiden by 10 3/4 lengths at Keeneland, following up with a stakes record setting win in the Three Chimneys Juvenile Stakes. That same year, he sold for $6,100,000 at the 2006 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, (the highest price ever for a horse in training sold at Keeneland). He went on to win the Grade 2 Richter Scale Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Gulfstream Park with blistering internal fractions of :21 3/5 and :43 3/5.

You all know COSTA RISING, the brilliant son of Royal Strand, Louisiana Horse of the Year and two-time Accredited Louisiana Bred Champion, who is retiring to stud as the third highest earning Louisiana Bred racehorse.

He completed his race career with ten stakes wins and total earnings of $901,616.

Along with these two, our roster of stallions provides breeders with a selection of exciting young sires and as well as tried and true proven progenitors. The first crop by the beautiful and brilliant sprinter/miler LION TAMER, a Grade 1 winner in New York of over $1 million, are two-year-olds of 2010. These outstanding individuals made their sire the Leading First Year Louisiana-Based Sire at both the August Fasig Tipton Texas Sale and the September Breeders’ Sales Company of Louisiana Yearling Sales.

The first runners by $330,200 multiple sprint SW OLE REBEL, a son of speed influence CARSON CITY, are set to begin racing next year as well. DOCTOR MIKE, a hickory tough and versatile multiple SW of $503,799, has two winners from only five starters in his first crop, including DOC OF THE BAY, who broke her maiden in her first out as a juvenile, going 5 furlongs in :59-2. With his first crop, two-year-olds of 2009, the regally bred Grade 3 placed Canadian classic contender Ford Every Stream, is Louisiana’s Leading Active Freshman Sire of 2009, represented by Louisiana Stallion Stakes (filly div.) winner PASS IT DOWN.

We are blessed to have such proven sires as Three Time Louisiana Leading Sire AFTERNOON DEELITES, who had another outstanding year in 2009 led by California G2SW ZAPPA, his leading earner with $574,912, setting his third track record (1 1/2 miles in 2:30.53 at Del Mar) in the Cougar II Stakes.

IDE is currently ranked 4th in the state byearnings with over $2 Million and was the Leading Sire by average, two or more sold at the Breeders Sales Company of Louisiana, Inc. Yearling Sale. His 2009 Stakes Winners include 2008 Louisiana Bred Champion Three Year Old IDE LIKE A DOUBLE and undefeated 2yo SHEZACRAZYGIRL winner of the inaugural $250,000 Louisiana Jewel S. at Delta Downs (11-6).

PORTO FORICOS is the sire of Champion 2-year-old filly& Sovereign Award winner MY VINTAGE PORT ($734,353), DELAFORCE (to 4, 2009, $328,557), ANNE’S PURSE (to 4, 2009, $297,098) & SHUT IT DOWN. His AEI (1.66) and APEX (1.99) figures are tops in Louisiana.

Multiple Track Record setting SW B. J.’S MARK has 67% winners from starters lifetime & each starter has average earnings over $51,000 with 21% of them stakes horses including 2009 stakes-placed winner Warren’s Mark.

You can feel comfortable knowing there are stallions at Clear Creek Stud to suit your needs as a breeder, whether your program is geared toward the commercial market or producing runners capable of competing on a national level.

Certainly, I want to express my gratitude to all of those that are responsible for caring for all of the horses, in particular our farm manager Yvette Barbazon. Quite simply, she does a phenomenal job that serves everyone. Michelle, who runs the training center, is following in those footsteps and the two are truly a force. They have plenty of support from people I am also very proud of. My wonderful clients and myself, are fortunate to have such a group that are constantly learning, evolving and developing so in the end they reinforce one another and complement the work they do for all of us. We are thankful for the really nice horses we care for and manage, and for all of their owners who we all work for, who are themselves dedicated to developing and promoting this great industry. Their passion and support keep everything moving forward.

Enjoy the day!

Sincerely,

Val C. Murrell

10/5/09 - Costa Rising to Stand at Clear Creek Stud

The 2007 Louisiana-Bred Horse of the Year Costa Rising (Royal Strand {Ire}--Gal's List, by List), will stand his first season at stud at Clear Creek Stud in Folsom, Louisiana. Bred in Louisiana by Dr. Delmar Caldwell and Jo Ann Thompson's Double Dam Farm, the six-year-old Costa Rising won 15 of 26 starts, including nine blacktype events. His 12 1/4-length win in the $200,000 Evangeline Mile H. in 2007 earned him a 115 Beyer, and in his next start he won an Evangeline allowance with a 118 Beyer.

"He is one of the top three Louisiana- breds in history, and he had some of the best Beyer speed figures of any Louisiana-bred ever--118 and 115," commented Glenn Delahoussaye, who trained Costa Rising during his Louisiana Horse of the Year season in 2007. "I think for this region he was a phenomenal athlete. I was privileged to be his trainer." No stud fee was announced.

Zuppardo’s Prince, the leading stallion in Louisiana for a record 10 times, was euthanized due the infirmities of old age Aug. 24 at Clear Creek Stud in Folsom, La., where he stood his entire stud career.

Zuppardo’s Prince, by Cornish Prince out of Prim Lady, by Primate, helped make Clear Creek Stud one of the leading stud farms in Louisiana. In a stallion career that spanned 21 years, he sired 579 foals, of which 496 made it to the races. He sired 34 stakes winners and six Louisiana champions from 379 winners of 1,632 races with lifetime earnings of $16,283,849.

Champions sired by Zuppardo’s Prince included graded-stakes winners Zuppardo Ardo ($667,886) who won the Humana Distaff (gr. II) at Churchill Downs and nine other stakes, and Astas Foxy Lady ($335,032), who won the Adirondack Stakes (gr. II) at Saratoga.

In 2006, Zuppardo’s Prince was represented by his most recent stakes winner and champion, Grande Facile, who was voted champion Louisiana-bred 3-year-old filly. His other state-bred champions include She’s A Little Shy ($423,832), Early Goer ($231,694), and Je’Pardo ($130,992).

Zuppardo’s Prince was purchased by Anthony Zuppardo as a yearling at the Keeneland September yearling sale in 1977. After a racing career in which he won 12 of 28 starts, including the Phoenix Handicap at Keeneland two years in a row, he was syndicated by Jack Lohman to stand at Clear Creek Stud.

Zuppardo chose to only sell half of the shares and retained ownership of half of Zuppardo’s Prince throughout his stud career. Zuppardo died in April of this year.

A Greeting from Val Murrell

Dear Breeder,

A year has come and gone since Katrina and Rita ravaged South Louisiana, and most everyone is getting back to their normal state of affairs. Throughout this experience, we have been drawn closer together, all of us pulling together to help those who need it the most. Now it is time to look forward ..Presently, we are very excited by the new beginnings observed at the tracks hardest hit by the storms. Both Delta Downs and the Fair Grounds are up and running and going well.

This year we are introducing an unprecedented, 3 new horses to the Stallion Roster for 2007! Credentials abound with LION TAMER, G1 winner of over 1 million dollars in earnings, OLE REBEL, a 4 time stakes winning son of CARSON CITY and recently relocated Canadian Sire PORTO FORICOS by Mr Prospector who already has a 2 year old Sovereign Award winning Champion to his credit.

We are very pleased with the proven stallions in our breeding shed. AFTERNOON DEELITES continues to dominate the Louisiana Leading Sires list and ranks nationally as well. IDE is presenting some phenomenal statistics with 84% winners
from starters and average earnings per starter of $61,549. He has done well at the sales as well as the track, with a filly by Ide selling for $270,000 at the Fasig Tipton Texas 2YO In training Sale. From a limited number of runners, B.J.’S MARK already has two SWs (11% from foals) and a stakes placed runner. And BAYOU HEBERT and PLACID FUND continue to be represented consistently in the winners circle.

Our roster is rounded out with four tremendous runners, each with impeccible pedigrees. FORD EVERY STREAM is a Graded Stakes Placed winner of $263,007. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first crop in 2007. DOCTOR MIKE
is a Stakes Winner seven times, with earnings of $503,799. His first crop hit the ground this year, and they look terrific. STORM DAY, a Graded Stakes Placed son of the outstanding sire and sire of sires Storm Cat, now has two winners from
his first crop, which are 2YOs this year. KIMBERLITE PIPE, a Graded Stakes Winner of nearly $1 million, has his first crop of runners this year as well. With only three starters thus far, two are placed.

Given the quality of the stallions gathered at Clear Creek Stud, I am very excited to be offering this fine roster, and am anticipating bright futures for them and their progeny. I believe the future holds great promise for so many of our peers because there is so much activity at the races and sales venues. Horsemen and women are very enthusiastic and moving forward. We fully expect to be a part of that progress and to contribute to the successes of all the breeders in the region. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share with and serve breeders from everywhere, but especially
Louisiana for 2007 and beyond.

On our web site, you have access to the Jack Werk nicking system for our entire roster at no charge as well as Hypothetical Mating which is provided by the LTBA. You may wish to visit the web site for current runners for each of the stallions standing that do in fact have progeny competing all over the world. Our staff, both farm and office, will be
available anytime to answer questions or to make arrangements of any kind involving your horses.

I am pleased to reportthat “our own" Dr. Leonard Brown, friend, mentor, and integral part of Clear Creek Stud for so long, is doing well after having to take time off for medical treatment. I know I am not alone in missing him, and I'm hoping he will soon be
back, as he is invaluable!

We sincerely hope everyone has the chance to have lunch and share an afternoon at Clear Creek Stud on December 2nd at our annual stallion presentation. Come by to see all of the stallions,visit with all of our friends and peers who share so much in terms of our work and dreams for tomorrow. Bring a friend-Enjoy the day.

Sincerely,

Val Murrell
