There was an error in my previous post about Pan Zarita, where I referred to Joe Blair as the grandsire of Joe Reed. Joe Blair (TB) is actually the sire of Joe Reed. The post has been corrected for the record, but I wanted to point out the error to those who read the earlier post.<\/p>\n

While on the subject of Joe Blair, Pan Zarita and Black Gold (previous post<\/a>), it is interesting to note that Miss Blair, the dam of Joe Blair, was by Bowling Green, who also sired the dam of Useeit. Useeit was the dam of Beggar Boy, a full brother to Black Gold (pictured). Beggar Boy and his stablemate Oklahoma Star, both legendary among rodeo and working cowboys, were owned by Ronald Mason, Nowata, OK.<\/p>\n

As happens with full siblings – even twins (something for the “clone-anxious” to ponder), Black Gold and Beggar Boy were different. Although both were black like their sire, Black Toney, who also got 1933 Kentucky Derby winner Brokers Tip, Black Gold proved to be a stayer, while Beggar Boy had speed, but little stamina. Also, Black Gold was sterile, while Beggar Boy, foaled in 1924, the year his big brother won the Kentucky Derby, was prolific.<\/p>\n

Although many of his Thoroughbred progeny could go a mile or more, Beggar Boy earned his fame through the explosive speed of his offspring. He and Oklahoma Star were more or less no-miss sires of quarter horse performers for Ronald Mason, and their nick with each others’ daughters remains one of the most outstanding success stories in AQHA history.<\/p>\n

Cutters will recognize the name Leo Bingo. Sired by Leo and out of the Beggar Boy daughter, Beggar Girl, Leo Bingo was one of a rare few Quarter Horses to earn a AAA rating on the racetrack, and qualify as an AQHA champion at halter and in cutting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
