Baby Steel was a 1967 mare with six starts and two wins in Thoroughbred races. She has a record in the AQHA that shows she had three starts, probably against Quarter Horses, but went unplaced. She is the dam of two Thoroughbred foals and eight Quarter Horse foals. Her Thoroughbred foals include Neta Monaghan Stakes winner Big Step. Her Quarter Horse foals include 3 ROM runners in Babys Henryetta, Steel Tex and Jets Baby. Jets Baby was stakes placed with seconds
in the 1975 Oklahoma Futurity and 1975 Raton/Oklahoma Futurity Supreme Division.

Her stakes winner is Native Scout, winner of the 1985 Pilgrim Handicap-G3, and her stakes placed runner is Summer Encounter, runner up in the 1982 Rainbow Derby-G1 and third in the 1981 Rainbow Futurity-G1.
Summer Encounter has formed a branch of the Baby Steel female line of horses. She is the dam of runners like Dashing Encounter, who was a finalist in the 1987 All American Futurity-G1. Summer Encounter is also the dam of Summertime High, a winner of just one of her four starts.

Foose counts among his wins the 2008 Ed Burke Million Futurity G1 and the 2009 Los Alamitos Super Derby G1. Flay won the 2017 Spencer Childers California Breeder’s Stakes-RG1. Flay is a full brother to Summertime Favorite, a stakes placed runner in races like the Autumn Handicap and the Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity-G3.
One of the famous sayings in the breeding industry is “great sires have great mothers.” This certainly holds true with Corona Cartel and his dam Corona Chick. This great race mare was bred and raced by Robert D. Etchandy, who had Frank Monteleone on as her trainer. Corona Chick had 18 starts, 15 wins and five stakes wins and she earned $591,326 in her career.

the La Primera Del Ano Derby-G1. Corona Chick set two New Track Records, one at Hollywood Park for 400 yards in :19.630 and one at Los Alamitos for 350 yards in :17.220.
Midway in her race career, Corona Chick put together a record tying string of 13 wins
in a row, racing from July 4, 1991, to Sept. 15, 1992, when she finished second to Royal Trips, a 123-to-1 long shot in the Southern California Derby-G2. She beat Royal Trips by 4-lengths in the trial to that race. Corona Chick came out of the 1992 Southern California Derby with a leg injury that ended her race career. Her success on the track made her the 1991 Champion 2 Year Old and Champion 2-Year- Old Filly and her race record at three made her the Champion 3-Year-Old Filly.
The sire of Corona Chick is Chicks Beduino, the winner of the 1986 Bay Meadows Futurity-G1 and 1986 Governor’s Cup Futurity-RG3. He was second in the Dash For Cash Futurity-G1 and third in the 1987 Laddie Handicap-G2. He earned $412,099 winning seven of his 14 starts.
