The dam of Holland Ease is Easy Henryetta, a stakes placed runner in the 1987 QHBC Freshman Classic-RG3. She is the dam of 15 ROM runners that earned over $1.1 million, with two stakes winners and three stakes placed runners. Beside Holland Ease, she produced stakes winner Four Forty Blast who earned $321,356 while winning five stakes races with four of them either Grade 1 or Restricted Grade 1 races. His stakes wins include the 1993 Go Man Go Handicap-G1 and the 1993 Los Alamitos Derby-G1. Four Forty Blast was the 1993 Champion 3-Year-Old Gelding.
Easy Henryetta is by Easy Jet, the 1969 World Champion, Champion Stallion and Champion 2-Year-Old Colt. Easy Jet won a phenomenal 22 races out of 26 starts with three seconds in his 2-year-old year. He won nine stakes races in 1969, including the All American Futurity-G1.
Easy Jet came back at three, after a breeding season that produced 65 foals, the next year to be named the 1970 Champion 3-Year-Old Colt. He added 12 more starts, winning five with four seconds and two thirds and earning $36,565. He won three more stakes races, including the Raton Derby.
Easy Jet was owned and trained by his breeder Walter Merrick during his race career. Walter once told me that he thought his 3-year-old year would have been much better if they hadn’t bred him that year. Easy Jet won $445,721 in his two-year racing career with a total record of 38 starts with 27 wins, seven seconds and two thirds.
The 1971 crop of runners for Easy Jet included 54 starters with 47 ROM and 14 stakes horses and six stakes winners. His stakes winners included 1973 Laddie Stakes winner Does It Easy, 1973 West Texas

You have a Delta Pattern when a sire and dam carry the blood of a full brother and sister, with the brother descending through the sire line and the sister appearing in the tail female line to the foal produced. This allows the sons of the cross to inherit the “Y” from the full brother and the Mitochondria of the full sister. In this example, First Prize Dash is a full sister to First Down Dash.

His leading money earner is Mr Trucka
Jet, winner of the 1985 All American Futurity-G1. Easy Jet sired two more All American winners in Easy Date and Pie
In The Sky. Easy Jet, as a broodmare sire, sired the earners of $51,699,403 through his daughters, including 4,300 starters with 2,928 ROM and 223 stakes winners. His leading money earner as a broodmare sire is Eastex, the 1994 All American Futurity-G1 winner. Easy Jet is by Jet Deck and out of Lena’s Bar by Three Bars.
The dam of Easy Henryetta is Babys Henryetta. This mare earned her ROM
out of First Carolina
Futurity winner Mable, 1973 Beulah Futurity winner Easy Rose, 1973 Jet Deck Handicap winner Lincoln’s Sure Bet, 1973 R.M. Benevides Memorial Futurity winner Our Jet, and 1973 Raton Futurity winner Tiny Chic.
An added note: The foals listed above are technically the second crop for Easy Jet as he sired a foal in 1970. She was Easy Sandy and was foaled in December 1970. She started 15 races with three seconds and two thirds.
Easy Jet would go on to be a great sire with 2,019 starters that earned 1,563 ROM and 145 stakes winners, 168 stakes placed runners with earnings of $26,237,832.
