2-time Champion Judys Lineage
$5 Million Sire Judys Lineage Dies
Chart-topping $5 million racing sire Judys Lineage was euthanized Oct. 12. He was 28. A 1989 sorrel tobiano stallion by Special
Lineage TB and out of Judys Chick, Judys Lineage was bred by Chuck Bowlan of Tecumseh, Oklahoma, and owned by Chuck in partnership with his father, Henry.
“He was born here and died here—there aren’t too many horses like that anymore. He was totally part of our family,” Bowlan Farms matriarch Linda said. “Watching his babies grow up and race was like watching our own kids.”
The stallion earned more than $45,000 on the track himself, winning nine of 15 starts and earning a speed index of 95, and he was crowned the 1992 APHA Champion 3 Year Old and Champion 3-Year-Old Colt.
After retiring from racing and siring his
first foal crop in 1994, Judys Lineage’s legacy continued to grow. He sired 937 foals, including 471 starters. Collectively, his foals captured 637 wins, including 108 stakes wins, out of 4,592 starts to earn more than $5.6 million. To date, Judys Lineage is ranked second on APHA’s Lifetime Leading Sires chart by money earned.
