Well, right now, there is a gelding who is trying to run down
Cigar and
Citation's 16 straight races records.
Got Country Grip was born in 2003 and lives in Oklahoma where he just won his 14th race in a row. In 2005, he won the Speedhorse Sprint Futurity, and he is just explosive at 350 to 400 yards! He is owned by Linda Fox! His relatives include
Dash for Cash, Bold Ruler, Sky Jet, Go Man Go, and his dad and mom are
Country Quick Dash and
Got a Grip! I just love those names! He and
Hailee share
Moon Deck and
Top Deck. His owner got him for a trade, and when he first saddled him,
Got Country Grip jumped clear out of a 7' round pen, he's just that macho. Anyway, I am sort of bummed because he's as cute as a button, as well as the speediest and best paint racer ever. I think he and
Hailee could have made the most wonderful children! You can read, hear, and see more about him at the following links!
