2/7/13 Time for a Bourbon

It’s time for some of the Bourbon’s.  Can’t  name them all, but here are some of the highlights.

Bourbon Chief

Harrison Chief X Belle

He sired Bourbon King.  On today’s pedigrees , the vast majority of sire lines 

trace back to Bourbon King.

Bourbon King

Bourbon Chief X Annie C (BHF)

A winning show horse himself, he sired many noted sires including 

 King Barrymore, King’s Sport, King’s Genius & Edna May’s King.  

King’s Genius’ great grandson was Supreme Sultan and Edna May’s King’s grandson was Wing Commander.  These are the dominant sire lines today, and both trace directly back to Bourbon King.

 Bourbon Star was noted more for his daughters.  

He had one BHF in Alice Star and another good producer in Cindy High Tail.
