Cantilator
On 3/19/2002, Charla foaled the tall and big boned bay colt Cantilator by the Storm Cat stallion Delineator, who also sired her stakes winning half brother Cantil. Cantilator already placed as a two and three year old, beating future stakes winners. Meanwhile retired from racing and owned by Mellisa from Bremerton, WA, he is showing a lot of enthusiasm and talent for his new career as a three day eventer.
Charlie the Cat
In the early morning hours of 3/21/2005, Charla had another flashy colt by Delineator, Charlie the Cat . Charlie was sold to a TB trainer in CA, will take up training at Golden Gate Fields in the spring of 2007.
Charla has been sold to a fellow Thoroughbred breeder here in Yakima and we hope to see many more of her children win at the track. In 2006, she had another outstanding bay colt by Delineator , a carbon copy to his full brother Cantilator.
