La Petite Coco is a bay mare with a white blaze bred in Ireland by Bernd and Ute Schone who are based near Rhode, County Offaly.
She was a granddaughter of Love In, a British-bred broodmare who was the ancestor of many other top performers in Germany including Lirung (Prix Jacques le Marois), Lomitas (Grosser Preis von Baden) and Lagunas (Deutsches Derby).
[4] La Petite Coco began her track career in a maiden race over one mile on heavy ground at the Curragh on 6 November when she started a 50/1 outsider in a sixteen-runner field.
On 12 July the filly went off the 4/9 favourite for a minor race over eleven furlongs at Killarney and won "comfortably" by two and a quarter lengths from the four-year-old gelding Kalapour after leading from the start.
[7] In the Group 3 Give Thanks Stakes over one and half miles at Cork Racecourse on 7 August La Petite Coco started the 2/1 favourite in a ten-runner field which also included Willow and the Munster Oaks winner Thunder Kiss.
[9] On 12 September La Petite Coco was stepped up to Group 2 class for the Blandford Stakes over ten furlongs at the Curragh and started the 3.2/1 second choice in the betting behind Love in an eight-runner field which also included Thundering Nights and the 2020 race winner Cayenne Pepper.
"[11] On 26 June 2022, after an absence of more than nine months, La Petite Coco returned to the track in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes over ten furlongs at the Curragh and started at odds of 9/1 in an eight-runner field.
