One Time Pepto and other Futurity musings

Time for Semi-Finals in the cutting Futurity.

Limited Non-Pro today, finals tonight. Peeka Pep has got Annas Brightest Star in there, aswell as in the Non-Pro tomorrow. Another two Peeka Peps made the Amateur Semis, also held tomorrow, Bunnys Got Pep and S T Peek along with Peeka Peps 1/2 brother Royal Red Play (by Play Red-Peek A Boon). They seem to be really consistent and work the way I like`em to. Maybe not the fanciest of moves, but really cowsmart and more often than not in the right place and in possition. Quiet and efficient, bluecollor if you will.

Wild Thing DNA also´s got a Semifinalist in the Am division in Wild Proof, ridden by Wild Things manager Kay Russell Terrell. (As most of you know we´ve got a Wild Thing and a Peeka Pep filly we´re really high on here at home.)
Good luck to all of you!

Now a few words on one of the more exciting stallions out there, One Time Pepto.
This freshman sire has 11 offrpring in the Open semis, 8 in the Non-Pro, 1 in the Ltd NP and 4 in the Amateur division!
One Time Pepto
If I was looking for another solid Peptoboonsmal stud to breed my mare to, One Time Pepto is where I´d go. He is by Pepto and One Time Soon, a great mare in her own right w offspring earnings of more than $780.000. 2nd dam Uno Princess won the NCHA Open Futurity.

One Time Pepto won $330.000 with Matt Gaines in the saddle and the merits include: NCHA Open Super Stakes Champion; 2006 Augusta Open Classic Champion; 2006 Abilene Spectacular Open Classic Champion; PCCHA 4-Year-Old Open Stakes Reserve Champion. That´s all well and good but this guy looks the part! Has a conformation I love, structual soundness, straight and clean all the way. Got the withers, hocks and short cannons I look for. He is by all accounts extreemely smart about the cows, really athletic and one of the best moving horses Matt Gaines & fellow trainer Clint Allen has ever ridden. Looks like the babies got some of that also.


He´s gonna challenge Highbrow Cat for top honours in a year or three I believe, and no, I´m not a sales rep, just a fan!

    men då beställer du hem lite "kräm" och förvarar det på lämplig plats så ser vi vad det blir av honom och Molly om några år.... ;)

  2. Hi,
    Kylie from Australia here, I am hopefully going to be the proud owner of only a handfull of One Time Pepto babies here in Australia. My mare One Moore Playgirl (Playin Stylish x ONE MOORE SPIN)is due to have a foal on 4 Jan 2011...so getting excited now. That was an outstanding effort by One Time Pepto at the futurity! Hope I've got a champion too!

  3. Ofcourse you´ll get a Champion Kylie! Atleast until proven otherwise!;) I really like him as a stud, Actually told a friend to lookout for Lloyd Cox´s One Time Pepto in the finals. I just liked the way he looked and the way he moved in the semis.

    Anyway, good hearing from you and Good Luck with your babies!! /Martin
