COOL QUAKER

(A Closer Look)

Cool Quaker's pedigree is the product of a very durable, tough and sound male family crossed with the same qualities in a female family. It is pure, solid, successful racehorse blood through and through, infused with Champions, Blue Hen Mares, and Stakes horses.

Cool Quaker raced for 6 years and started 48 times, with 12 wins, 10 seconds, and 5 thirds. He won on dirt and on turf, in the mud, sprinting and routing. His blacktype record includes a win in the 1994 Whirlaway Handicap, two seconds in the 1994 Tenacious Handicap and teh 1995 Louisiana Handicap, and one third in the 1995 Whirlaway Handicap. He set a stakes record with his 1994 Whirlaway Handicap win, going 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.55", which lasted for 13 years and was only just broken in 2007 (now the Grade 3 Mineshaft Handicap.)

"...I think it's wonderful that you have a stallion whose pedigree offers concentrations of really great bloodlines that have been woefully igonored in recent years. I think he offers a "hybrid vigor" resource for many mares..." and "...mares sired by this fellow would be worth their weight in gold. He is inbred (linebred) to some of the most influential broodmare sires of all time. I particularly like the 3x3 to T.V. Lark..." -written by Bill Lathrop, founder of the Conduit Mare System

"...he was certainly a sound old guy from a VERY sound and tough male line..." -Avalyn Hunter; pedigree expert and author
