Got Koko was that year's Anabaa's Creation?

You made this up, right?

Got Koko was the first filly (and only 3rd ever) to sweep the La Canada series in nearly 20 years. She won the Gr 1 7f La Brea, the Gr 2 8.5f El Encino, and the Gr 2 9f La Canada in succession. In the final leg, she defeated Sightseek, who was probably the only other contemperary mare that could hold a candle to Azeri.

Of course, this all took place before the Clement Hirsch that year and, of course, Got Koko came right back to beat Azeri in the Lady's Secret.
