When you look at the pedigree history of 2019 World Champion He Looks Hot, you get an example of how owner/breeder Dr. Ed Allred has adopted and built his breeding program on good mare families.
He Looks Hot’s trainer Scott Willoughby and owner Ed Allred
Champions-G1. He made five starts with three wins in 2018, earning $99,780, and he survived a third colic surgery that year.
So, when 2019 came around, could the now seven year old continue his winning ways? He definitely answered the question with 10 starts, five wins, one second and one third, earning $420,036. He Looks Hot won the Moonist Handicap, Spencer L. Childers California Breeders’ Championship-G1 for the second time, and the Champion of Champions-G1. His success on the track in 2019 earned him the titles of AQHA World Champion, Champion Aged Horse and Champion Aged Gelding. He
is trained by Scott Willoughby and was ridden by Vinnie Bednar.
We are all very familiar with Dr. Allred as the owner of Los Alamitos Race Course. Dr. Allred started cultivating his racing interest
in the mid 1950’s at Los Alamitos, entering first as a racing enthusiast and then as an owner. He became very interested in Los Alamitos Race Course and eventually took sole ownership of this premier race track. But his Rolling A Ranch, where he breeds many fine horses including his new World Champion, will be our main focus on our look at the mare family this outstanding runner comes from.
But not He Looks Hot, who came back
in 2016 to win the Vessels Maturity-G1 and qualify for the Champions of Champions-G1. He made six starts with two wins and two seconds, earning $98,515. In 2017 he won another major race in the Spencer Childers California Breeders’ Championship-G1,
and he also qualified for the Champions of Champions-G1. He Looks Hot made nine starts with one win, two seconds and two thirds, earning $108,754. He continued racing in 2018, winning the Robert L. Boniface Los Alamitos Invitational Championship-G1
and qualified again for the Champion of
He Looks Hot with his connections after winning the Champion of Champions-G1.
