TRAFALGAR, IN–JANUARY 19, 2026– Angel and Janie Gomez of Bennettsville, South Carolina purchased Gonna B Famous at this past weekend’s Heritage Place Winter Mixed Sale for $32,000. 

The young stallion, who stood at Royal Vista Equine in Oklahoma for the start of his career, will now stand at Midwest Equine in Indiana. His fee is set at $1,000 for 2026.

Janie Gomez said, “He had the most beautiful eyes. That is just one of the many things that drew us to him at the sale.”

Eyes aside, Gonna B Famous is backed by one of the hottest crosses in the industry, and his pedigree is chock-full of leading sires, champions, and black-type winners from top to bottom.

Gonna B Famous’ first crop hit the track in 2025. From only 23 starters, the young stallion has sired 12 winners, 16 ROM, and two stakes finalists, earning more than $216,000 with nearly $10,000 average earnings per starter.

His top 10 two-year-old money earners from 2025 include Vf My Favorite Disco, a Canterbury Park Derby finalist with $27,808, No Dout About It with $23,511, VF Lost And Found with $18,486, Kaces Lucky Charm with $16,930, Famously Flirtin with $15,930, Limitless Motion with $14,283, Famous I Sayso with $13,792, Famous Blind Date with $12,115, Our Famous Rock Star, a G.C.F.A. Juvenile finalist with $11,930, and Famous High Riser with $10,532.

Gonna B Famous’ first foals will be three-year-olds in 2026. He still has 396 straws available in Oklahoma, and he remains eligible for the Black Gold Sires Program. He will also be enrolled in the Indiana Bred Program for 2026.

Bred by McColee Land & Livestock, LLC in Utah, Gonna B Famous was foaled in 2017 out of the Jess Louisiana Blue mare Louisana Corona. The son of One Famous Eagle was one of hs top money earners in 2019, with earnings of $129,600.

Gonna B Famous had a short but impressive racing career. He won two of his three career starts at 2 before his racing career was cut short and he was retired to stud.

He broke his maiden in his career debut in the Ruidoso Quarter Horse Futurity (G1) trials, then defeated Grade 1 winner Cers Final Try while qualifying to the $3.5 million All American Futurity (G1) in his second start. His only loss came in a troubled sixth-place finish in the All American Futurity final.

Gonna B Famous is by leading sire and proven “sire of sires” One Famous Eagle SI 101 ($1,387,453), who has sired 93 stakes winners, 100 stakes-placed runners, and earners of more than $41 million.

One Famous Eagle’s top earners include One Dashing Eagle SI 98 (World Champion, $2,079,065, All American Futurity-G1), Imperial Eagle SI 106 (champion twice, $1,852,897, All American Futurity-G1), Fly Baby Fly SI 96 ($1,813,957, All American Futurity-G1), Hotstepper SI 98 (champion twice, $1,336,359, All American Derby-G1), Bodacious Eagle SI 104 (World Champion, $1,293,444, Champion of Champions-G1), and Jeriko SI 101 ($1,148,672, Los Alamitos Super Derby-G1).

Gonna B Famous’ dam is the Grade 2-winning Jess Louisiana Blue mare Louisana Corona SI 101 ($186,206). She is the dam of 16 winners, 21 ROM, and three black-type runners, including stakes winner Corona By Corona SI 97 ($138,414), stakes-placed winner Bayou A Cartel SI 94 ($48,836), and Corona Squared SI 99 ($39,651).

Louisana Corona is a half-sister to Hez Fast As Cash SI 106 ($79,359) and to the dam of Grade 1 winner Jessa Louisiana Zoom SI 99 ($637,591).

His second dam is four-time AQHA Racing Champion and All American Futurity (G1) winner Corona Cash SI 111 ($1,542,880). She is the dam of 18 winners, 26 ROM, and eight black-type runners. She is a full sister to leading sires Valiant Hero SI 105 ($668,633), Mighty Corona SI 90 ($309,216), and Corona Czech SI 93 ($125,759), and a half-sister to leading sires Corona Cartel SI 97 ($557,142) and Captain Courage SI 105 ($213,251).

With leading sires and multiple generations of champions and black-type producers on top and bottom, Gonna B Famous brings proven speed and pedigree power to his next chapter in Indiana. For more information or breeding contracts, contact Dr. Roger Beam at (317) 506-1084 or rogerbeamdvm@aol.com.
