SPEEDLINES
The Allred breeding program produced three Grade 1 winners in 2014, including two out of 2014 Speedhorse
Along the way
Dr. Ed Allred became a Quarter Horse breeder, and that part of the journey has made him the all-time leading breeder of money earners.
High Time may best be known to the Quarter Horse industry as the sire of Fleeting Time, who was the sire of Nellene, the dam of Joe Reed II. Joe Reed II is the sire of the great Leo.
Another source of High Time blood comes in the Thoroughbred source of speed through Eight Thirty, who is out of Dinner Time by High Time. Eight Thirty was the sire of Bolero, another source of speed in the Thoroughbred. Bolero is found in the pedigree of the great Storm Cat. Bolero is the sire of Bolero Rose, a very speedy mare who is the third dam of Storm Cat.
The dam of High Step was *High Born Lady, an imported mare with no American race record. She was sired by The White Knight and out of Lady Echline by Cyllene.
The dam of Annahi was Verda Ann. This 1938 mare was unplaced in two starts. She was sired by American Smile by American Flag by Man O’War. American Flag is out of *Lady Comfey, an imported mare. She was sired by Roi Herode, who was the sire of another significant source of speed in The Tetrarch. The Tetrarch is found in the pedigrees of such horses as *Nasrullah. Lena Valenti, the second dam of Easy Jet, is sired by Gino by Tetratema by The Tetrarch.
The dam of Verda Ann was Anita M by Sir Martin. Her dam was Mozel by Martinet. Anita M was third in the Lexington Club Handicap. She had 57 starts with nine wins, two seconds and eight thirds.
The next step for Charlton was to breed Annahi and he picked a stallion named Tinky Poo. He explained why he bred to this particular horse, “A friend of mine, Al Stewart, had him at that time in Brigham City, Utah. He set up a

sire High Step. I bought her sight unseen for $125. Didn’t even see the mare. I just bought her off the High Step breeding.”
He then added, “I ran her a little bit with Quarter Horses and she had speed. I won a race with her at a little Quarter Horse show one time, but she never ran on a recognized racetrack.”
Annahi, a 1944 chestnut mare, was bred by S. Grant Young. Her sire, High Step, was the winner of two races in
five starts and earned a modest $1,600. High Step was sired by High Time, a great source of speed. High Time was the winner of one race in seven starts. The win came in the Hudson Stakes at Aqueduct where he set a track record going 5-furlongs in 58 2/5. The only other time he placed in the top three was a third in the Great American Stakes.
High Time proved to be a very fast horse that couldn’t carry his speed
over a distance. A look at his pedigree will tell us where the speed came from. His sire was Ultimus by Commando
by Domino. The dam of Ultimus was Running Stream by Domino. The dam of High Time was Noonday by Domino. This makes High Time a great source of speed with an intense 3 X 3 X 2 breeding pattern to Domino.
High Time was a disappointment as a racehorse, but as a sire he became noted for his outstanding two year olds. He was the leading sire or tied as the leading sire of two-year-old winners for four years. He was the leading sire overall of money earners in 1928 and was in the top twenty on the leading sire list 12 times
in his breeding career. He sired 289 foals with 37 stakes winners, and 164 of his foals were winners at the age of two.
Look Her Over’s pedigree traces back to Wayne Charlton’s mare Annahi, by High Step by High Time, who was a great source of speed with an intense breeding
