The sky’s the limit for Gucci Equine’s 4-year-old palomino stallion Magnums Shinin Spark – and he’s got a great chance in today’s first round of the ARHFA’s Cowtown Classic Futurity in Fort Worth.
It was just last month at the Old West Futurity that Joseph Harrison won the first round on “Magnum” with that smoking 231.38-point score for $4,000, and they finished fifth overall despite a leg penalty for another $13,152.
“He’s extremely broke and extremely good to heel on,” said Gucci’s Brett Davis. “He’s another Joseph Harrison prodigy.”
Gucci Equine bought Magnum as another stud prospect, and no wonder – he came from the same source as Nu One Time Blues (“Boujee”), the 6-year-old roan stallion that’s already earned nearly $350,000. Magnums’ mother, Shinin, is out of a Nu Cash daughter, just like Nu One Time Blues.
In addition to inheriting the color of her standout roping sire Shining Spark, Shinin has a dam named Its All About Cash, by Nu Cash – the only NRCHA Open Snaffle Bit Futurity champion to sire three other Snaffle Bit Futurity champs. And Its All About Cash was out of a daughter of the great Doc Olena that went back on the bottom side to Thoroughbred racing blood via Depth Charge and Double Bid.
Magnum’s standout breeding continues on the top side. His sire, Magnum Chic Dream, was a reining superstar – a $12 million producer that’s in the NRHA Hall of Fame. Magnum Chic Dream, in turn, was by another reining Hall-of-Famer, Smart Chic Olena, out of a daughter of million-dollar reining sire Topsail Cody.
It’s no wonder that Gucci’s Brett Davis has had some people interested in buying Magnum. But he hasn’t sold him just yet, with a lot of Pre-Futurity money still on the table.
