Speedhorse Photo Archive Answer
The photo on page 211 shows Goetta (Go Man Go-Etta Leo, Leo) with her connections after winning the fifth renewal of the All American Futurity by 3/4-lengths under Charlie Smith in 1963. Foaled in 1961, Goetta was bred by E. L. Gosselin of Edmond, Oklahoma, and raised on Ed Honnen’s Quincy Farms near Denver, Colorado. Trainer Newton Keck purchased Goetta for $18,000 as a yearling for owner Hugh Huntley. The filly went to the Huntley’s ranch in California, where Keck had already trained two All American Futurity winners.
It was Charlie Smith who broke Goetta to saddle, and it was at Bay Meadows that he and Keck first put gear on her. After tightening the cinch, Goetta began bucking and kicking. “I wanted out of that place,” Smith stated. Things quieted down a bit, and the pony horse got her going. After that, Goetta did most of her training up and down the shed row where she was afraid to buck. On her first work, Keck outran her on the pony horse. “She had a lot of spunk and spirit, but damn little ‘run’ in her head.” Smith declared. Goetta did have some run in her, and she won her first race, and her second, and third ... and seven in a row.
During her career on the track, Goetta earned $233,922 winning 22 races from 31 starts, including 11 stakes events such as the Triple R Maturity where she set a New Track Record for 400 yards. Goetta was named the 1964 World Champion, 1963 Champion 2-Year-Old Filly, 1964 Champion Mare and Champion Three-Year-Old Filly, and 1965 Champion Aged Mare . Goetta was sold to Sonny Henderson and Harriett Peckham in 1972, and then to Tom L. Burnett Estate in 1974.
After her incredibly successful career on the track, Goetta went on to produce six winners from seven foals, including top earner Goetta Miss, who won the Railsplitter Invitational Stakes and set a New Track Record at Bay Meadows for 300 yards. Goetta, who died in 1978, was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2007.
