WALK THRU FIRE
Walk Thru Fire was bred by a partnership between the Vessels Stallion Farm and the Allred Brothers of Arizona. Walk Thru Fire had great potential as a racehorse and was purchased by three famous horsemen as a yearling – Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, William Farish of Lanes End Farm and Ed Gaylord II, former owner of the Lazy E Ranch and Arena. For most of his race career, Walk Thru Fire raced for this partnership and then for his trainer, Jaime Gomez.
The racing potential of Walk Thru Fire did not materialize, and he won only two of his 21 starts. Walk Thru Fire won his trial to the 1999 Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity-G1 and an allowance race. He qualified to the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity-G1, Golden State Futurity-G1, Primero Del Ano Derby-G2 and Vandy’s Flash Handicap. The colt retired with $94,280 in earnings.
Despite his modest race record, Walk Thru Fire entered his stud career and his first crop produced 2005 Kindergarten Futurity-G1 winner Gold Nugget RD and 2005 Ed Burke Million Futurity-G1 and Golden State Futurity-G1 winner Higher Fire, who was named the 2005 Champion 2 Year Old and Champion 2-Year-Old Filly.
With the success of his first crop of runners, Walk Thru Fire was purchased by Dr. Ed Allred and Mike Abraham in 2005. He has since set
the racing world on fire by siring progeny that have earned over $39 million. He is now the #1 all-time leading living sire of money earners.
