We see that the Top Deck sire line is alive and healthy through Mr Jess Perry.
The need for speed is apparent in the horses listed here. But then the ranch increased their interest in racing under the guidance
of Jay Pumphrey, a former Burnett Ranch Trustee and former AQHA President. They became members of the Azure Te Syndicate,
a stallion now in the AQHA Hall of Fame, and as we noted they bred Easy Six by Easy
Jet that would retire from racing to stand in Oklahoma alongside Azure Te with Ted Wells.
The racing program eventually moved back to Texas. This move brought the leading race sires Dash For Cash, Streakin Six and Special Effort to the place that would be their final home. These three stallions have combined earnings of over $74 million. Leading this list is Dash For Cash with earnings of over $39 million. It was the popularity of Dash For Cash that prompted Dr. Blodgett to seek an outcross stallion. He saw a need for the ranch to bring in the right horse to outcross, not only the ranch mares with Dash For Cash, but for the large number of mares by this great stallion and his sons and daughters that were so prevalent in the industry.
Mr Jess Perry filled the bill as a prospective stallion for the Burnett Ranches with his race record and sire record, but the last criteria Dr. Blodgett needed to access was the pedigree of Mr Jess Perry. He was sired by Streakin La Jolla, a stallion that had a modest race record, and was out of Scoopie Fein.
Streakin La Jolla was bred by the partnership of B. F. Phillips Jr. and Delbert Smith. He was purchased by and raced by Lee Ray Hayes while being trained by Mike Lyles. He was undefeated in his eight starts, with wins in the 1988 Summer of Sound Derby and the 1988 All American Derby Consolation. He earned $56,277.
They retired Streakin La Jolla to stand at Brad and Rick Boutte’s Pleasure Time Farms. He then stood at L/J Farms (now Grant Farms) and Shoestring Stud Farm (now Robicheaux Ranch). Robert and Karen Nunnally of Georgia bought Streakin La Jolla in 1999, moving him to Granada Farms at Wheelock, Texas, where he stood the rest of his life.
Streakin La Jolla put together an AQHA Hall of Fame career, with his foals earning over $25 million. This includes 906 racing ROM and 87 stakes winners. His foals include Streakin Sin Tacha, the 2002 World Champion, Aged Champion and Champion Aged Gelding as the winner of $692,842; and
Charal Kid, winner of $512,719 including the 2012 Refrigerator Handicap-G1.
Streakin Six, the sire of Streakin La
Jolla, was the 1979 Rainbow Futurity-G1 and 1980 New Mexico State Fair Handicap winner. He was second in the 1979 All American Futurity-G1 behind Pie In The Sky, second to Alamitos Feature in the 1980 World’s Championship Classic, and third to Jamie Jay and Denim N Diamonds in the 1980 Kansas Derby-G1. He earned $473,934 from 19 starts with ten wins.
The sire record for Streakin Six shows 663 racing ROM and 75 stakes winners.
His stakes winners include five AQHA Champions, including: Sixy Chick, earner of $751,284; Six Fortunes, winner of $574,788; Sir Alibi, winner of $356,193; Sterling Sport, winner of $265,292; and Dean Miracle, winner of $199,601. Foals by Streakin Six have total earnings of over $17 million.
Streakin Six is by Easy Six and was bred by the Tom L. Burnett Cattle Company in Fort Worth, Texas, and was foaled on the Ted Well’s Ranch in Alex, Oklahoma. Easy Six, bred by the S. B Burnett Estate, is by Easy Jet and out of Peggy Toro by Hijo The Bull TB. He won 10 of 25 starts, winning the 1974 Sun Country Futurity and the 1975 Kansas Derby. He earned $198,740. Easy
Six sired just three crops, with 180 foals, 146 starters, 122 ROM and 22 stakes winners, including Sages Belle Star, his second leading money winner and winner of the 1979 Alamo QHBA Futurity. This mare was second to Streakin Six in the 1979 Rainbow Futurity-G1. She won $250,056. Foals by Easy Six earned over $2.6 million.
The dam of Streakin Six is Miss Assured, winner of the 1964 Thanksgiving Stakes at Los Alamitos. She is by Little Request TB, who was a stakes winner in the 1952 Starlet Stakes and 1952 Haggin Stakes. He set a track record at Hollywood Park going five furlongs in :57.20. He is by Requested and out of Little Wichita by Royal Ford.

of seven ROM, including Derussa, the dam of the two time Champion Mare Go Derussa Go. Assured is out of Sally Rand V by Joe Reed P-3.
Scoopie Fein, the dam of Mr Jess Perry, raced until she was four, with earnings of $15,807. She won six races, placing second
three times and third four times. She was
a stakes finalist with a fourth in the 1981 Buttons And Bows Stakes and a fifth in the 1981 El Cinco Cincuenta Handicap.
