The pedigree of Market Wise gives us
an indication of where the speed in Find A Buyer came from. His sire, Broker’s Tip, was the 1933 Kentucky Derby winner. His sire is Black Toney by Peter Pan by Commando by Domino. The dam of Black Toney is Belgravia by Ben Brush, giving us a cross to the nick between Domino and Ben Brush. The dam
of Market Wise is On Hand by On Watch by Colin by Commando by Domino. The dam of On Hand is Kippy by Broomstick by Ben Brush, giving Market Wise a cross of Domino and Ben Brush on both sides of his pedigree and a great source of speed.
The dam of To Market is Pretty Does, a mare that went unplaced in three starts. She
is a daughter of Johnstown, the winner of the 1939 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. He earned $169,315 while winning 14 of 21 starts. Johnstown foals earned $2.3 million. His sprint specialists include Flood Town, winner of several stakes at 5 and 6 furlongs including the National Stallion Stakes at 5 furlongs. His daughter Segula won the Coaching Club American Oaks. She is the dam of Nashua, the 1954 Champion Two-Year-Old Colt, 1955 Champion Three- Year-Old Colt and the 1955 Horse of the Year.
Johnstown is by Jamestown and out of La France by Sir Gallahad III by Teddy by Ajax. The dam of La France is Flambette
by Durbar, and she is out of La Flambee by Ajax. This gives La France a breeding pattern of 3 X 3 to Ajax. Ajax is the grandsire of the sources of speed Sir Gallahad III and his full
brother Bull Dog. Sir Gallahad III is the sire of Last Boat, the second dam of Top Deck.
Creese is the dam of Pretty Does. Unplaced in one start, she is the dam of Tomasello Memorial Handicap winner Salerno. Creese is by Sickle by Phalaris, and she out of Selene. The dam of Creese is Circlet by Whiskebroom by Broomstick by Ben Brush, and her dam is Coronis by Voter. Voter is the sire of Ballot, the sire of Midway, the sire of Percentage, the sire of Three
Bars. The dam of Coronis is Court Dress
by Disguise by Domino, giving us another shot of the Domino/Ben Brush nick in the pedigree of Find A Buyer.
Hide and Seek was an unraced mare bred on the King Ranch. She is by Alibhai, an unraced horse that became a leading sire with 54 stakes winners including 1956 Kentucky Derby winner Determine. Alibhai is by Hyperion by Gainsborough, and out of Selene. This gives Find A Buyer a breeding pattern of 5 X 4 to Selene and serves as an example of “linebreeding to a Superior Female.”
Hide And Seek is out of Scattered, a mare bought by the King Ranch. Unraced, she is
by Triple Crown winner Whirlaway. He is by Blenheim II and out of Dustwhirl by Sweep. Sweep is by Ben Brush and out of Pink Domino. The dam of Scattered is Imperatrice, who is the dam of Somethingroyal who is the dam of the Triple Crown winner Secretariat. Thus, Dash For Cash comes from the female family of Secretariat.
DASH FOR CASH AND THE ARENA
Dash For Cash was bred to be a pure runner. That was the goal of B. F. Phillips Jr. and the King Ranch partnership. He rewarded with success on the track and then by becoming an all-time leading sire with his foals earning over $39 million from 1,154 starters that earned 960 ROM with 145 stakes winners. His daughters have produced earners of over $71 million with 5,153 foals and 3,631 starters that earned 2,736 ROM and 271 stakes winners.
Because of his value as a sire of racehorses, we see that Dash For Cash had a limited number of arena performers. His foals earned only 355.5 AQHA performance points with 19 performance point earners earning 11 arena ROM. This included one AQHA Champion, one AQHA Supreme Champion and one AQHA Reserve World Champion. He sired three AQHA halter point earners that earned 33 halter points with two halter ROM awards.
Gotum Gone was one of Dash For Cash’s ROM performance halter point earners with 16 points. This 1989 gelding was the AQHA Supreme Champion and AQHA Champion. He earned his ROM in racing with a 95 speed index and was a stakes finalist in the 1992 El Tesoro De Oro Derby. He earned his performance ROM with points in reining and roping. His roping points came in heading (3), heeling (5) and reining (8.5). Gotum Gone was bred by B.F. Phillips.
Gotta Good Habit is the 50th AQHA Supreme Champion. He earned his title with a
