Vaughan spoke about the second phase of his breeding program. “The other mare is Eyesa Knockout, a half-sister to Sure Nuff Fast and by Mr Eye Opener. She has turned out to be my big time home run hitter. She is the dam
of Major Tom, who I think holds six track records. He set a world record and then broke his own world record. He was that fast. He was named Remington Park Horse of the Meet over Quarter Horses. He ran out about $234,000 and about $500,000 if you include match races. He was outstanding. The all-time leading 2-year-old money earner in the Appaloosa breed. He was trained by Eddie Willis.”
