iv. The Story Anaheim to Guthrie

Born of two great bloodlines.A Hall of Fame heritage.

On a spring afternoon in Anaheim, California, a bay colt was foaled who would become one of the most consequential stallions in the modern era of Quarter Horse racing — the first foal from his sire's first crop, and the first foal of his Hall of Fame dam.

Sold as a yearling at the 1995 Vessels‑Schvaneveldt Sale to a young Tucson woman named Celina Molina for $42,000, he would go on to win the Los Alamitos Million, become the first Quarter Horse stallion to win a $1 million race in California, and stand twenty‑one foal crops at Lazy E Ranch.
