Chambers invited his guests to the barn to see his new race bred colt that had just come to Colorado. Warren described the situation this way. “Recently hauled in from California, right out of the pasture, a lot on the thin side and obviously needing something, was a ‘lil ol’ bay colt that looked like nothing but a long neck and potbelly.”
Warren continued, “Jay had a little 40- watt bulb up in the top of that barn and
we couldn’t see nothin’, but I thought I had seen all I wanted to anyway. My exact words
Our look at Jet Deck reminds me of something Joe Kirk Fulton told me that has stayed with me. Fulton was
a racehorse owner and breeder with
two World Champions and 74 stakes winners on his record. We were visiting about conformation. Fulton was a lot
like Bud Warren in that conformation was important to him, as he had been
a leading breeder of halter horses that could perform just as the Warren stallions had successfully produced halter and performance horses. Fulton made a point with an example of a poorly headed mare he owned. It seemed to him that every time this poorly headed mare crossed the finish line first, her head got better. This tells us that sometimes we shouldn’t judge
a book by its cover, as we must look at what is inside to really know what we have. This is the lesson Bud Warren learned through Jet Deck that we alluded to in the July Speedlines. Our look at Jet Deck will show us what we can find when we look past the cover and into Quarter Horse racing history.
The full narrative of Warren’s first meeting with Jet Deck and what he saw is found in the article “Jet Deck” by Jim Scarbrough in the April 1972 issue of The Quarter Horse Journal. Bud and Reba Warren were at the Centennial Race Meet in Denver, and they were the dinner guests of J. B. Chambers at his home in Littleton. Chambers had invited
others including Wilbur Stuchal, who trained horses for both Warren and Chambers.
