Bred by Hobbs in Iowa, Launch Light Lady captured the Iowa Stallion Futurity in July at Prairie Meadows and finished second in the Iowa Sorority Stakes at the same track in August. She has won twice and finished second twice in her four career races.
Launch Light Lady is out of the Gold Legend mare Velva.
