2005 leading 2-year-old filly Jess Genuine, winner of the Retama Park Futurity-G1.
Petry purchased Genuine Reward in partnership with his mother Ramona. Genuine Reward, who had already produced a weanling (Jess Genuine) and yearling (Genuine Botticelli), gave Petry his first multiple stakes producing mare.

After producing multiple stakes winners, Iwanna Dash earned Louisiana’s Champion Broodmare of the Year title in 2012.
The horse that rounds out Barry’s “top four” list is homebred Hemps Jumpn Lajolla, a 2012 gelding by Jumpn and out of Hemps La Jolla by Streakin La Jolla. “He was my first, biggest stakes winner,” Barry says. “He was a real competitive little horse.”
In his first year, Hemps Jumpn Lajolla won the $281,514 Mardi Gras Futurity-G2 wire-to- wire, ran second in the $645,645 Lee Berwick Futurity-G1 after a bumped start, and also won his trials to the LQHBA Laddie, Lee Berwick, and Louisiana QHBA futurities.
The graded stakes winner was ranked 41st by wins and 27th by earnings in his freshman year, with $269,772 to date. “Since then, it seems like I’ve had a nice stakes horse every year, either with one we’ve sold or one we still own,” Barry says.
FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Although Barry’s location provides plenty of opportunities to race his homebred Quarter Horses, he usually runs just one horse each year. The Jennings, Louisiana dentist, who also raises cattle
at Live Oak Farms midway between Delta Downs in Vinton — where the Quarter Horse season runs mid-April through early July — and Evangeline
Homebred by Petry, Hemps Jumpn Lajolla was his first and biggest stakes winner. A top ranked runner by earnings his freshman year, the gelding is shown here winning the 2014 Mardi Gras Futurity-G2.

“Genuine Reward had a yearling and a weanling when I bought her. The yearling, Jess Genuine, ended up being the leading 2-year-old
filly in 2005, and the weanling, Genuine Botticelli, qualified to the All American Futurity the next year. The accomplishments of those
two put me with a really nice, multiple stakes-producing mare.”
