Paint Futurity at Remington

This will be run on Saturday April 28. I saw a few of them run when I was up there, and think the 1 horse looked awesome. He should be the one to beat.

Good job Justin - hope you had a couple dollars on the 1 horse...not that it looked like it would pay out much but shoot - anything is better than nothin when it comes to money

Ha, i'm almost old enough to bet in Texas. That horse is really fast. It said he won by almost 3 lengths and that's a 100 speed index. Not bad for a paint! Maybe someone could look up his breeding. His dad Country Quick Dash has another one named Got Country Grip or something that's undefeated and made over $200,000. I always thought Texas Hero was the best paint stud, but I guess this one's pretty good too.

yeah that's the Sparky Mullins breeding coming through. I believe he bred the sire and the dam. He knows fast ones.

He cleaned UP on this weekend from the looks of it!!!

The sire of SM COUNTRY SNOWMAN is double registered AQHA/APHA. His name is COUNTRY QUICK DASH, a 4-Time APHA Running Champion.
SM COUNTRY SNOWMAN was only .019 off the APHA Track Record of
:17.584 set by GOT COUNTRY GRIP in this same race in 2005. GOT COUNTRY GRIP is an APHA RUNNING WORLD CHAMPION, undefeated in 13 starts and is also sired by COUNTRY QUICK DASH.
Sparky Mullins had a great weekend at Remington Park that is for sure!!!So did his Jockey, G.R. Carter!!!

I believe Sparky is also the breeder and owner of Country Quick Dash who is by the potent bluehen Country Zevi. To say the least Sparky is so hot right now racing his pink shirt are turning red hot.

You are so right, Tracy!!!!

Im glad that Sparky is having so much success i think he truely deserves it.

I wonder what he has in the weanling department

I just saw that Country Chicks Man is nominated to the Sooner State
Stakes for this Sunday. I guess we'll know once they enter, but does
anyone know if he's really coming back?

Thats what i have heard.

From what I hear I would expect to see CCM about 3 lengths in front at the finish. In yet another solo win picture.

Sparky confirmed that COUNTRY CHICKS MAN will be racing again this year, he is training even better than last year and he loves swimming. Sparky is going to get one of these swimming pools put in at his own place this year. CHICKS MAN is handling the breeding and race training great!!

That is AWESOME!! QH racing needs a poster boy and Country Chicks Man has my vote!!!!
We need to get the general public more involved - who better than a Champion Stallion who wears pink?

I hope he smokes em this year!!!

last year I have to admitt that I was pulling for Mr Mallard until he died
