THE CANDY LINE OF HORSES
THE CANDY MARES
Carl Pevehouse took an interest in race- horses as a young man and that interest car- ried him through his life. Rozella Pevehouse (Carl’s wife) described his lifelong love of horses this way, “He had horses when he was younger as a child, and five or six years after we were married, he rekindled what he had felt as a youngster growing up on the farm. I can recall him sitting and studying magazines and breedings and proper stallions. He just loved it. He had a process that in my opinion has been successful.”
Mr. Pevehouse not only liked to watch them run, but he liked to watch the ones he bred run even more. His breeding program is built through a line of mares that today we know as the “candy mares.” Butch Wise had this to say about Carl Pevehouse and his Candy Mares, “You can’t talk about Carl, but you have to talk about his foundation mare Send Me Candy that he had, a daughter of Tiny’s Gay. He started a racing dynasty over
several years and they have just been domi- nant, and Carl was very much a horseman. He was a guy that very much wanted to outrun you. He used a lot of different stallions and he tried things that worked and didn’t work - but once it did work, he doubled up on them.”
The story of the candy line of horses starts with Three’s Gal. She was a daughter of Bar Three by Three Bars TB and her dam was Okmulgee Gal by Blondie Hancock. Three’s Gals is the dam of 11 foals, 9 starters, six ROM and two stakes winners. The horse that drew Pevehouse to this mare was one of her stakes winners - Gal Watcher by Tiny Watch. He won the 1971 Texas Futurity.
Pevehouse bought two daughters of Three’s Gal. They were Everetta Gal and Dough Gal. Dough Gal started the “candy” line of horses. She was sired by Moon Dough by Top Moon. Dough Gal earned her ROM on the track with an 86 speed index.
Dough Gal produced four ROM from seven starters. Her ROM runners were Short
Tail Gal by Chautos, Send Me Candy by Tiny’s Gay, Bouquets And Candy by Nip N Dude, and Pevehouse Candy by Seventy One North. Her leading money winner was Send Me Candy. This mare went to the track to earn black type with a second place in the Mystery Derby. Her race record shows she was first or second in eight of her 14 starts.
Send Me Candy was closely related to Gal Watcher, the stakes winner that Pevehouse was so fond of as a racehorse. Send Me Candy was sired by Tiny’s Gay. Dough Gal, the dam of Send Me Candy, was sired by Moon Dough and out of Three’s Gal, the dam of Gal Watcher.
Send Me Candy produced 13 foals/ROM with nine of them receiving a speed index of 90 or above, with earnings $618,627. Her runners include three stakes winners. Her first stakes winner was Send The Gals Candy. He won such races as the Sunland Fall Futurity-G2, Town Policy Handicap-G3 and Los Ninos Handicap.
Send Me The Candy is the dam of Jess Send Candy who has produced, three other stakes winners, in addition to Jess Good Candy, including
