ROCK YOU winner of the 2013 Ruidoso Derby-G1
the sire of such Champions as: Go Man Go, the 1955, 1956 and 1957 World Champion; 1955 Champion 3-Year-Old Colt Ridge Butler; 1961 Champion 3-Year-Old Colt/1962 Champion Aged Stallion Rebel Cause; 1968 Champion Aged Stallion/Champion Aged Horse Mighty Deck; and 1966 Champion 2-Year-Old Filly Top Ladybug.
River Boat, the dam of Top Deck, is
by Chicaro by Chicle, who is out of Lady Hamburg by Hamburg, who is out of Lady Reel out of Mannie Gray, the dam of Domino. The dam of Chicaro is Wendy by Peter Pan. This gives Top Deck a breeding pattern of 4x4 to Peter Pan.
Top Ladybug is the top money earner for Top Deck. She is out of FL Lady
Bug by Sergeant by Billy McCue by Jack McCue by Peter McCue. The dam of FL Lady Bug is Yeager’s Lady by Will Stead,
a full brother to Sergeant. They were
sired by Billy McCue by Jack McCue by Peter McCue. The dam of these the two stallions Will Stead and Sergeant is Silver by Chickasha Bob by Texas Chief by Lock’s Rondo by Whalebone by Old Billy.
Another interesting pedigree is that of Rebel Cause, by Top Deck. Rebel Cause
is out of Bankette by Worryman by Red Man by Joe Hancock by John Wilkens
by Peter McCue. The dam of Worryman
is No Worry by Eternal by Sweep by Ben Brush, and Sweep is out of Pink Domino by Domino. The dam of Bankette is Miss Bank by Captains Courageous by Stimulus by Ultimus, the inbred grandson of Domino.
As we have gone through this look at
the influence of the Thoroughbred on the American Quarter Horse, we have seen the interaction of the two breeds and their ties to each other. The next time we get to this topic, we will continue with another stallion that carries the influence of Domino as an influence on the American Quarter Horse, as well as a look at the role of Ben Brush in the scheme of things.
The influence of Domino in the Thoroughbred and American Quarter Horse is astonishing and almost unbelievable. He sired just 19 named foals and yet it is exceedingly difficult to not find him in a pedigree.
Babe On The Fly is the dam of eight stakes winners, including...
