Most of us are all familiar with the fact that Quarter Horse racing had its beginning in Colonial America
in the 1600s. The need to race horses over a short distance was necessitated by the fact that they only had short open tracts of land to race on. So it was obvious that the fastest horse over the short distance won the race thus the Quarter Running Horse was born. The horses used for this short racing were christened
the “Celebrated American Quarter Running Horse” (CAQRH) for stallions and the “Celebrated American Quarter Running Mare” (CAQRM) for mares.
As the Celebrated American Quarter Running Horses moved west they became known as “Short Horses” again based on the ability of the horse to run a short distance in the fastest time. When the American Quarter Horse Association was formed they officially took the name American Quarter Horse that relates back to the breed’s ability to run the quarter-mile, or 440-yard, distance in the fast- est time. Thus the quarter mile race is consid- ered the classic distance of the racing American Quarter Horse just as the mile and a quarter is the classic distance of the Thoroughbred.
So when a horse in our breed excels at 440 yards, we have a great example of the “clas- sic” racing American Quarter Horse and our new AQHA Racing World Champion Cold Cash 123 has proven to be just that specialist. The affinity for the classic distance showed
up in Cold Cash 123 as a two-year-old. He won three races at 440 yards including his
trial for the 2010 All American Futurity-G1. He came back to win the 2010 All American Juvenile Invitational—running a faster time than the All American Futurity just a few races later—and then the 2010 Southwest Juvenile Championship-G1.
Cold Cash 123 continued his assault on the 440-yard distance at three by winning five of six starts at the distance. He won his trial for the Rainbow Derby-G1 and the finals; he won his trial for the All American Derby-G1; he won his trial for the Texas Classic Derby-G1 and the finals. The only blemish on this racing record was the All American Derby where he finished seventh. This gives him eight wins in nine starts and four grade ones at 440 yards in the past two years.
Now with this record in mind let’s look at the icing on the cake. The loss in All American Derby prevented Cold Cash 123 from run- ning in the Champion of Champions-G1. His alternate route was a trip to The Championship at Sunland Park-G1. This Grade 1 is run at 400 yards instead of 440. The results were impressive as Cold Cash 123 beat a field that included several 2011 Champion of Champions participants and a field that had earned over
$5 million. His time of :18.733 was close to the world record for this distance.
Cold Cash 123 is owned and bred by Walter and Carolyn Bay’s T Bill Stables, of Clare, Michigan. He is trained by one of the great trainers of all time, Dwayne “Sleepy” Gilbreath. Cold Cash 123 has earned $979,741 with nine wins in 14 starts including five stakes wins—four of them Grade 1. Let’s look at where this “classic” World Champion came from.
RETURNING THE BLOOD
A look at the pedigree of Cold Cash 123 shows us that he is linebred to a cross of Easy Jet and Azure Te. The breeding pattern we are looking at is commonly referred to as “return- ing the blood of the sire’s dam.”
The objective of “returning the blood of the sire’s dam” is to breed a stallion to mares car- rying the blood of that stallion’s dam. We do this to increase the influence of the female side of a stallion’s pedigree on the foal. It goes back to the old saying “great sires have great moth- ers.” This breeding pattern allows us to take advantage of a stallion’s strong female family to
produce a good runner.
The purest form of this pattern will show
the common blood between the sire’s dam
and the foal’s dam coming from one indi- vidual as the common ancestor. Two prime examples of this breeding pattern can be
found in Stolis Winner, the 2008 AQHA Racing World Champion and Freaky, the 2009 AQHA Racing World Champion. Both of these runners carry a double dose of the great *Beduino-TB.
Stoli, the sire of Stolis Winner, is out of Strawberry Silk by *Beduino. The dam of Stolis Winner is Veva Jean, by Runaway Winner,
by *Beduino. This gives Solis Winner a 3x3 breeding pattern to *Beduino. Freaky is sired by TR Dasher, who is out of Tylers Cutie, by *Beduino. The dam of Freaky is Chickasecret, who is out of Chickasis, by Chicks Beduino,
by *Beduino. This gives Freaky a 3x4 breeding pattern to *Beduino.
This breeding theory also gives us an oppor- tunity to put a pedigree together that is sexu- ally balanced. A sexually-balanced pedigree is
