one in which one member of the pattern is a male sex linked influence of the common ancestor and the other is a female sex linked influence of the common ancestor. In the case of Stolis Winner the male influence is Runaway Winner and the female influence is Strawberry Silk. The male influence in Freaky is Chicks Beduino and the female influence is Tylers Cutie. This allows the breeder to take advantage of sex linked genes that you can’t get when you linebreed to only male or female descendants of the common ancestor.
One of the interesting things about breeding patterns is they can appear in various forms. One of the variations for “returning the blood to the sire’s dam” comes through linebreeding to a nick or a cross that produces good foals. A “nick” is the phenomenon that occurs when a stallion from one bloodline is crossed on a mare or mares of another bloodline to consistently produce good foals. Cold Cash 123 is an example of this variation through the linebreeding to the Easy Jet/Azure Te cross that appears in his pedigree.
The sire of Cold Cash 123 is Oak Tree Special, the 2003 AQHA Racing World Champion, AQHA Racing Champion Three-Year-Old and AQHA Racing Champion Three-Year-Old Colt. Oak Tree Special earned his titles by winning four major derbies. They were the Dash For Cash Derby-G1, Texas Classic Derby-G1, Retama Park Derby-G1 and the Remington Park Derby-G1. The Dash For Cash Derby and the Texas Classic Derby are 440-yard races.
Oak Tree Special retired to the breeding shed and today is the sire of horses that have won $6,363,154 with 213 ROM from 257 starters and 19 stakes winners. His leading money winners include the Grade 1 stakes horses Furrtreeous, $424,651; Acorn, $337,977 and Send Me A Candy Tree, $359,078. Cold Cash 123, Furrtreeous and Send Me A Candy Tree have all won the 440-yard Southwest Juvenile Championship-G1.
Oak Tree Special is a son of Special Task, a stakes-winning son of Special Effort. Special Task’s sire record shows that he is the sire of 126 ROM from 150 starters with 14 stakes winners including the Grade 1 winner Special Task Force. Special Effort is the only Ruidoso Triple Crown winner and was the 1981 World Champion Racing American Quarter Horse. Special Effort was sired by the Thoroughbred Raise Your Glass. The dam of Special Task was Miss Prevel, a black-type winning Thoroughbred mare.
The dam of Oak Tree Special was Easy Lady Oak, a race winner with $85,872 in earnings. She is the dam of 19 foals with seven ROM. Her other black type winner is the stakes placed Ryons Easy Oak. The sire of Easy Lady Oak is the unraced Easy Dozen. Easy Dozen is sired by Easy Jet, the 1969 AQHA Racing World Champion. His dam is Twelve Five, by Azure Te. This is our first look at the Easy Jet/Azure Te cross in the pedigree of Cold Cash 123.
The dam of Easy Lady Oak is Lady Bailey Oak, by Lady Bug’s Moon and out of Miss Bailey Oak. Miss Bailey Oak was sired by a Quarter Horse named Malford and out of a mare named Pearl Bailey Bauchman.
The dam of Cold Cash 123 is Hot Cash 123. She is another home- bred from the Bay’s T Bill Stables. She was an ROM racehorse with an 87 speed index although she was unplaced in seven starts. Hot Cash
123 was retired from the track due to an injury. She has not wasted any time as a producer as her first two starters are World Champions. Cold Cash 123 is actually her second World Champion. Her first World Champion was I Do One Two Three, an APHA gelding by Judy’s Lineage. This 2007 sorrel tobiano gelding was the 2010 APHA Racing World Champion Regular Registered Racehorse, 2010 APHA Champion Running Three-Year-Old and the 2010 APHA Champion Running Three-Year-Old Gelding. He was the 2009 APHA Champion Two-Year- Old Gelding.
Here is an interesting side note: Hot Cash 123 is the dam of two World Champions and they are both sired by stallions that come from the Raise A Native sire line. The sire of I Do One Two Three is Judy’s Linage, by Special Lineage, by Alydar, by Raise A Native. Cold Cash 123 is sired by Oak Tree Special, by Special Task, by Special Effort, by Raise Your Glass, by Raise A Native.
