AQHA Dam of Distinction Our Third Delight (right), who is out of Tinys Delight by Tiny Watch,
is one of only four mares to have produced three Champions. She is the dam of . . .
Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity. He won one AQHA reining point in 1979 in one show with a win.
Dutch became a barrel horse for Marlene McRae. This team hit the rodeo and AQHA arenas in 1983, earning a WPRA World Cham- pionship and 37 AQHA barrel racing points. Dutch continued barrel racing until 1992, help- ing McRae win three WPRA Reserve World Championships and two NFR average titles. They were the winners of the famed Calgary Stampede Barrel Racing five times.
Gotewin Bo (Bo) was a son of Assured Pleasure by Tiny’s Gay by Tiny Watch. Bo was an NFR qualifier with Janet Stover. The first year they qualified (1998) for the NFR, they set an arena record of :13.75. They were the Reserve World Champion that year behind Kristie Peterson and her great gelding Bozo. Bo and Stover were third in 1999 and returned to the NFR in 2001 after Bo recovered from an injury, but he was unable to compete. Sto- ver still won the World Championship with the help of Nate Silobar (Hotshot).
The idea that Dutch Watch was bred to be a racehorse who found his way to barrel racing is true for many of the horses that have played a part in the Tiny Watch influence on the sport. This is true of two horses that are key to the success of this Tiny Watch crossover influ- ence. They are Tiny’s Delight and Tiny’s Gay.
Gay’s Delight was one of the Travis mares bred to Tiny Watch. This mare was the win- ner of the 1967 Inaugural Handicap and
the 1967 Juvenile Championship, earning
$19,416 on the track. She was the dam of 15 foals with 13 starters, 11 ROM and five stakes winners. Her stakes winners include Chick’s Delight (1972 Sugarloaf Futurity), Chicks Gay (1973 Twin Sister Futurity), Go Go Gay (1978 QROA Derby) and Top Moons Gay (1983 John Phillips Handicap).
Gay’s Delight produced Tiny’s Gay, Tiny’s Delight and Tinys Gay Two when bred to Tiny Watch. We have seen that Tiny’s Gay was the most successful of these runners as the 1974 Racing World Champion. Tiny’s Delight was an ROM runner with a 91 speed index. Tinys Gay Two was an ROM runner with an 88 speed index.
Tiny’s Delight produced six foals, with
four ROM and one stakes winner - Our Last Delight, winner of the Santa Cruz County Derby. Another Tiny’s Delight runner was Midnight Sweets, an ROM racehorse and the dam of Easy Jet Rebel, who was stakes placed Northeast Kansas QHA Futurity. He earned an ROM in barrel racing with 17 AQHA points and he finished eighth in the 2003 AQHA World Show Senior Barrel Racing. His sire is Andy Sixes, a son of Streakin Six out of A Little Annie by Tiny’s Gay, giving him a 4x3 breeding pattern to Tiny’s Gay and Tiny’s Delight.
Our Third Delight, who is out of Tiny’s De- light, is an ROM runner and stakes finalist in the 1983 Dash For Cash Futurity-G1. She is now an AQHA Dam of Distinction with 12 ROM and eight stakes horses, including four stakes winners. Her stakes winners are Tres Seis, Dean Miracle, Fortune Of Delight and Our Casanova.
Champion/Champion Sire/Champion Broodmare Sire Tres Seis, sire of AQHA’s #1 all-time leading money earner Champion Ochoa.
