between Phillips and Robert J. Kleberg Jr. of the King Ranch to use their speed-bred Thoroughbred mares to breed running Quarter Horses. Phillips was to select from the King Ranch speed-bred Thoroughbred mares and breed them to racing American Quarter Horse stallions.
Phillips explained in a 1983 interview why he pursued the King Ranch mares. “These mares were available because the King Ranch was concentrating on racehorses that would be competitive in classic distance races such as the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes,” he said.
Phillips stated that there were a lot of mares to choose from and that enhanced the chance of success for the breeding program. He also added that many of these mares carried the blood of Depth Charge. He explained the role of this stallion, “Depth Charge was a horse that contributed a great deal to the early running Quarter Horse. He is still a great influence in the pedigrees of the better horses of today.”
A mare named Silent Light will show
us where he was coming from and her contribution to the partnership. She was sired by the Phillips Ranch stallion Dividend and out of the King Ranch mare Lantana Belle. Silent Light is listed as bred by the King Ranch Inc. and owned by the Phillips Ranch/King Ranch Partnership. She was foaled in 1967.
Silent Light made 19 starts with five
wins, one second and five thirds. She earned $5,752. She was a stakes finalist in the 1969 Las Ninas Handicap at Los Alamitos Race Course. She returned to the broodmare band in the Phillips Ranch/King Ranch Partnership where she produced five foals with three starters earning $122,732, including two stakes winners and one stakes placer. Her stakes winners were Raise The Roof by Raise Your Glass TB, winner of the 1978 War Chic Handicap; and Vari Eze by Easy Jet, winner of the 1980 Runnin’ For The Green Futurity.
It was Silent Light’s stakes placed runner that proved to be her most influential foal. His name was Windy Ryon by Go Man Go. He was second in the 1977 New Mexico State Fair Handicap and a finalist in the 1975 Rainbow Futurity, 1976 Kansas Derby, 1976 C. L. Maddon’s Bright Eyes Handicap, 1976 Sunland Park Fall Derby, 1977 HQHRA Inaugural Handicap and 1977 Z. Wayne Griffin Director’s Stakes. Windy Ryon sired the winners of over $5.2 million, with his leading money winner being 1986 AQHA Champion Two Year Old and Two-Year Old Colt Ronas Ryon.
A pedigree note: Dividend was by Depth Charge, who was owned by the King Ranch and used for a time at their King Ranch Thoroughbred program in Kentucky.
Lantana Belle was by Beau Max (the sire of Faquir) and she was out of Lantana Queen by Depth Charge. This gives Silent Light a breeding pattern of 2 X 3 to Depth Charge.
Some Kinda Man was the next major runner from this partnership. Foaled in 1969, he is by Go Man Go and out of Anaqua by Beau Max and she is out of Lantana Queen by Depth Charge. Anaqua was a full sister to Lantana Belle, the dam of Silent Light.
Anaqua produced nine Quarter Horse foals with five starters, one stakes winner and one stakes placed runner. The stakes winner was Some Kinda Man. His stakes wins came in the 1972 Ruidoso Derby, 1972 Three Bars Handicap and 1972 Sunland Park Fall Derby where he set a World Record for 440 yards in :21.460. Some Kinda Man sired only six foal crops that earned $2.1 million with 23 stakes winners. His leading money winner is Lotsa Soul, earner of $115,584. Some Kinda Man daughters have produced the earners of
over $6.1 million with 311 ROM and 23 stakes winners. The leading money winner is Dashs Dream, a multiple AQHA Racing Champion including the 1985 AQHA Racing World Champion.
Dash For Cash was next to highlight the Phillips Ranch/King Ranch partnership. As the story goes, Phillips
