Plaudit won the 1898 Kentucky Derby and sired an Army Remount stallion named King Plaudit, who sired Plaudit the Quarter Horse. Plaudit QH was the sire of Question Mark that had the distinction of being one of the few to beat the great 3-time AQHA World Champion Shue Fly. Scooter W, a son of Plaudit, was the 1948 AQHA Champion Stallion. Scooter W was bred by Hank Wiescamp and Plaudit was a key sire for Warren Shoemaker and Hank Wiescamp
Domino was called the “Black Whirlwind” because of his blazing speed. He lived a short life, but left a lasting impact on the racing Quarter Horse. His blood flows through such great horses
as: Three Bars, with a breeding pattern
of 5x5x5 to Domino; Top Deck, with a breeding pattern of 4x4 to Peter Pan, a grandson of Domino; Joe Reed II, who is out of Nellene by Fleeting Time by High Time (High Time has a breeding pattern of 3x3x2 to Domino); and Depth Charge, who was double bred to Domino and his full sister Correction.
The dam of Domino is Mannie Gray
by Enquirer. Her dam is Lizzy G, the dam of Faustus, making them full brother and sister. You will recall Lizzie G had a breeding pattern of 3x4x4 to Glencoe. When we add Nora M, the dam of Peter McCue, we see that she has a breeding pattern of 3x4x3 to Glencoe. Thus, Domino and Peter McCue, two of our foundation sires were both out of mares linebred to Glencoe.
It has been 289 years since Bulle Rock,
a son of the Darley Arabian and a mare
by Byerley Turk, landed on the shores of Colonial America. This stallion represents the foundation bloodlines of what has become the Thoroughbred and the American Quarter Horse and how these early horses contributed to both breeds, giving them a common bond that transcends their history.
Author’s Note: This has been a summary
of how the Thoroughbred and the American Quarter Horse have become the two most recognized breeds and the common bonds they carry in their pedigree history. But, it is not the end of the story as we have left out many others that were significant to the development of these two breeds and we will address many of those horses down the line.

who went on to become a foundation sire.
