SPEEDLINES
We will start at the beginning with Dr. Allred’s first runner, the gelding Beowawe, a AAA runner that was first, second or third in 14 of his 35 starts. Punch Time, who has no official race record, became Allred’s first broodmare. Punch Time produced Gritch, who is the dam of 1980 Golden State Derby winner Rich Gritch.
Beowawe and Punch Time are by Hard Punch by 2-time Champion Hard Twist. The dams of these two Allred owned horses were daughters of Lucky Fellow, a son of Lucky Blanton, a stallion that was noted
as a rope horse sire. Dr. Allred bred Punch Time to Windy Sea TB, by Windy City II, and got Gritch. Then, he bred Gritch to Dusty Canyon TB and this is where he got Rich Gritch. Dusty Canyon later became the broodmare sire of All American Futurity-G1 winner A Classic Dash.
Charger Bar became a highlight of these early years for Dr. Allred when she won the 1973 Champions of Champions-G1. Charger Bar is by Tiny Charger and out of La Ree Bar by Rocket Bar TB. The dam of La Ree Bar is Tinky Ann by Tinky Poo. Tinky Ann is out
of Annahi TB by High Step. Charger Bar was owned by the partnership of Dr. Ed Allred
and Dr. Kenneth Wright, trained by Wayne Charlton (her breeder) and ridden by James Dreyer. Charger Bar won 21 stakes races earning nine championship titles, including the 1971 World Champion title. She produced 14 foals, 12 starters, 10 ROM and three stakes winners in Go Proudly, Proud Heritage and Blushing By. Go Proudly and Proud Heritage were bred by Dr. Ed Allred and Dr. Kenneth Wright.
Just like the success of Los Alamitos Race Course, Allred’s Rolling A Ranch breeding program has been very successful and has grown over the years. This success has allowed Dr. Allred to become a perennial leading breeder and owner. His breeding program
has produced runners that have earned over $60 million, making him the all-time leading breeder of money earners. He is also the all- time leading owner of money earners with his runners earning nearly $21 million.
Dr. Allred will readily tell you that the base of this strong breeding program is great female families. He was recently quoted explaining about how his friend and mentor Spencer Childers got him started with mare families. “Spencer is the one who taught me the importance of mares. When I started acquiring some good mares, Spencer told me to stick with these female families and never get rid of them. Like the mother of Look Her Over, who is Oh La Proud, I’ve had this line going back to the 1980’s. I collect (Quarter Horse) female families,” he said.
Spencer Childers found his success as a breeder through the mare lines he used. The greatest example of his mare lines comes through his great mare Champion Black Easter Bunny and her daughters. This philosophy made Childers a leading breeder of horses that have won in excess of $15 million and he is the owner of horses that won over $4.5 million. He bred a number of Champions, including 2004 World Champion Be A Bono. This great gelding traces through his sire’s tail female line to Black Easter Bunny as well as through his dam’s tail female line to Black Easter Bunny.
Our look at the pedigree of He Looks Hot will start with La Ree’s Rocket, a full sister
to La Ree Bar the dam of Charger Bar. La Ree’s Rocket was the third foal by Rocket Bar out of Tinky Ann. Foaled in 1965, La Ree’s Rocket earned four wins in 24 starts with
two seconds and two thirds while earning her racing ROM and a AAA rating on the track.
Wayne Charlton is the breeder behind this family of runners. “She was a full sister to the mother of Charger Bar. I sold her (La Ree’s Rocket) at Los Alamitos. When she was in a trailer, she would go so far and then she would throw a tizzy. I didn’t want to haul her anymore, so I sold her. I ran a few races with her, but that is why I sold her,” Charlton explained.
La Ree’s Rocket then became the property of Ivan Ashment in 1973, and in 1978 she produced the next important link in our
look at this family with Oh La Ree. Bred by Ashment, Oh La Ree became a stakes winner with wins in the Peninsula Handicap and Independence Day Handicap. She won nine races in 19 starts, including the two stakes wins. Oh La Ree is by Jet Spice by Jet Deck by Moon Deck. Jet Deck is out of Miss Night Bar by Barred. The dam of Jet Spice is Sugar Spice by Sugar Bars.
Oh La Ree is the dam of 12 ROM runners, including seven stakes horses and three stakes winners, including Cypress 870 Handicap and Gold Rush 870 Handicap winner Oh Le Bo and All Canadian Futurity of Alberta winner Cambrian.
In 1984, Oh La Ree was purchased by Dr. Ed Allred and he bred her to Shirley’s Champion TB in 1986 and produced
Oh La Proud. Shirley’s Champion earned $174,087 and won four stakes races, including the Inglewood Stakes-G2 and Hollywood Express Handicap-G3. Shirley’s Champion is by Noholme II and out of Nevada Marga by Have Tux. Nevada Marga is out of Marga by Hawley. Golden West Stakes winner Oh La Proud, the other stakes winner out of Oh La Ree, had four wins in 30 starts, earning $52,873.
