iv. The Sire Line First Down Dash · Dash for Cash

Speed, on the top.

Corona Cartel was the first foal of his sire's first crop — Holland Ease, an SI 109 son of First Down Dash, the most prolific sire of his era.

Through First Down Dash, Corona Cartel traces directly to Dash for Cash — the AQHA Champion sire whose influence is the foundation of contemporary Quarter Horse racing.

It is a sire line that produced speed. Corona Cartel inherited it, refined it, and passed it forward.

v. The Dam Line Corona Chick · AQHA Hall of Fame

Refinement, on the bottom.

Corona Cartel was also the first foal of his Hall of Fame dam, Corona Chick — a brilliant racehorse and producer in her own right.

Corona Chick was by Chicks Beduino, a foundational sire whose influence runs through some of the breed's most refined performance horses.

It was the dam line that gave Corona Cartel his refinement, his look, his presence. A Hall of Fame mare, in his immediate background — a rare and weighty thing in any pedigree.

Cross to the line.

Frozen semen from Corona Cartel remains available through Lazy E Ranch.
