W     e are pleased to welcome you again to Clear Creek Stud, LLC
      and appreciate you joining us for our Annual Stallion
Presentation. We are always happy to share an afternoon and lunch
with you and are gratified for the opportunity to renew our com-
mitment to serve you in whatever capacity we can with our focus
primarily on foaling and breeding your mares. We enjoy this gath-
ering, connecting with old friends and meeting new ones, and we
look forward each year for this chance to visit and discuss matters
most relevant to our industry and consider how to best utilize and
promote all that is offered by our strong Louisiana State Breeders'
Program that remains the envy of the nation. A new breeding and
foaling season comes with much planning and hard work and it is
welcomed with keen anticipation and excitement.
Again this year, Clear Creek Stud, LLC will offer clients nicking
systems that have garnered worldwide recognition and support at
no charge, i.e. Enicks, True Nicks and G1 Goldmine Stallion Watch.
These tools are often greatly beneficial in helping prospective
breeders choose a stallion.
We are proud of our strong Stallion Roster for 2020 and confident
that you will find a match to serve your purpose. At Clear Creek
Stud, we go to great lengths to offer Stallions that will be suitable
to your particular needs as a breeder, whether your program is
directed toward the commercial market or producing runners
capable of competing on a national level. We are fortunate to stand
an elite group of stallions with the pedigrees and conformation that
would make them desirable not only in this region, but nationally
as well. This year we have two new stallions we are adding to our
stallion roster. Peppered Cat, who has previously stood in
California, is a son of Preakness and Belmont winner Tabasco Cat.
He is the sire of multiple Graded Stakes winner Pepper Crown.
Trust Factor will commence his stud career at Clear Creek Stud in
2020. He is a son of Grade I winner Paddy O’Prado and won mul-
tiple stakes here in Louisiana on his way to earning $335,958.
This year and every year, the horse industry continues to be incred-
ibly important to the Louisiana economy. A recent Economic

Impact Study of the horse industry in Louisiana reports that
Louisiana horse racing facilities and races generated over $1 billion
in gaming in the United States. This study was conducted by Dek
Terrell Ph.D. of Lewis, Terrell and Associates states that the total
direct injection from the Louisiana horse racing industry into
Louisiana’s economy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 was
$578 million. Louisiana horse racing created a total of 12,640
Louisiana jobs, which translate into $328 million in earnings gener-
ated during the most recent year. Louisiana received over $64 mil-
lion directly from the horse industry in state taxes during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. When taxes generated indirectly
are included, state tax revenues from horse racing are over $73 mil-
lion. I would suggest that you make every effort to communicate
to our State Legislators, especially the newly elected ones, what our
industry contributes to the economic well being of our state, partic-
ularly through the creation of numerous jobs. We appreciate their
past efforts and support and look forward to working with them in
the coming year to keep the horse industry healthy throughout the
state.
Clear Creek is a family owned and operated business. As Head of
Maintenance and Operations, Trey LaVoice keeps our facility in top
notch condition and running smoothly. Michelle Murrell LaVoice,
the Farm Manager and a seasoned professional, along with her
dedicated and skilled support staff, will continue to provide the
attention to detail in every aspect of the daily routine, making sure
that the usual is accomplished unusually well. The office staff
including Lisa Hobbs with the assistance of Sally Blackwell, Laura
Kenny, April Savoy, and Brandy Schillesci, remain at your service
to ensure any questions you might have are answered and that you
have any information or help with business matters that arise over
the course of time.
For now we want to thank you for coming and considering the
Clear Creek Stallions and hope you enjoy the day.

Clear Creek Stud was founded in 1969 by renowned horseman
Jack Lohman. Over the years Clear Creek Stud has become known
as Louisiana's premier Thoroughbred operation. In 1977, Val
Murrell, upon graduating from LSU, joined Lohman as his
assistant. Soon after, Murrell assumed management duties and
maintained that position through several ownership changes at
Clear Creek Stud including the partnership of Jack Lohman and
C.T. Carden and continuing when C.T. Carden bought Lohman's
ownership in the farm. Eventually Val and some partners bought
Clear Creek Stud from the Estate of C.T. Carden. Val has made
Clear Creek Stud his life's work and carries the tradition of
excellence established by its founder.

Facilities Clear Creek Stud is truly a full-service operation specializ-
ing in skilled personal service to its clients and their Thoroughbreds. Located in
Folsom, Louisiana, the farm is less than an hour’s drive from New Orleans and

                       ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!

L   ike many of you, I grew up in a
    4-H Program. I learned plenty and
have a tremendous a p p re ci a t i on of
those times with 4 - H l e a d e r s
g u i d i n g a n d supporting young
p e o p l e . M a n y parents took the
time to help many children, besides
their own, and the young people them-
selves helped one another while at the
same time competing.

A    lot of that seems to have dwindled
     over time and we currently have a
group headed by Neely Walker work-
ing to rekindle this fire. They are striv-
ing to rebuild the Louisiana 4-H
Program to once again have a signifi-
cant impact on our next generation of
horseman and citizens who will mature
and continue the process over and over
again, to keep the flames burning.

P   lease join forces and contact these
    leaders [nwalker@agcenter.lsu.ed]
to see what you might do to advance
the cause. I consider it a most impor-
tant and noble endeavor that we
should all be very proud of supporting.
