The cutting-bred NCHA earner of $41,128, by Peppy San Badger out of Doc&#8217;s Starlight, also ranks among the all-time Top 15 cutting horse sires with offspring earnings of more than $10 million, and is the only stallion to have achieved such a status in both cutting and reining.<\/p>\n<p>Grays Starlight&#8217;s top reining money earners include Starlights Wrangler, $125,966; Hit The Lights, $112,925; and Smart Starbuck, $60,045. His first cutting super star was Spooks Doc, co-reserve champion of the 1992 NCHA Non-Pro Super Stakes Classic and earner of more than $90,000. But his brightest star was Stella Starlight, winner of the 2000 NCHA Non-Pro Futurity with Lach Perks and earner of nearly $300,000.<\/p>\n<p>Grays Starlight was bred by Harold &#8220;Spook Stream, &#8221; Lake Charles, LA, former husband of country western star Lynn Anderson, and owned by Polo Ranch, Marietta, OK at the time of his death.
