Sire: Joe Cody
Dam: Doc Bar Linda
Million
Dollar Sire
After a career as an undefeated NRHA competitor,
Topsail Cody continues to make his mark on the NRHA
Topsail Cody recently was honored as the fourth sire in NRHA history
whose get
have earned more than one million dollars in NRHA earnigs. He has joined an elite
group of NRHA sires-Hollywood Jac 86, BH Enterprise and Hollywood Dun It.
"He passes on his best characteristics to his
colts," says owner Dick Randall of
Cupertino, CA. "He stamps them with a great attitude and pretty heads."
Currently, the 23-year-old stallion stands at Boyle
Performance Horse in Ione, CA.
His west-coast-bred colts came of show age in 1997. Last fall at the West Coast
Reining Futurity, Topsails placed first through fourth in the Non Pro Futurity, as well as
the Champion and Reserve Champions in the Open Division. Randall Feels these
recent successes as well as the ability to ship semen have led to a renewed interest
in the stallion.
"We had a great response the first year he stood out
here on the coast," noted Dick.
"I think we bred over 60 mares that year. Breedings fell off over the next few years,
but
with the west-coast-bred Topsails hitting the show pen last year, there has been a
renewed interest." Since moving to California, Topsail has been introduced to a whole
new set of mare and remains a NRHA leading sire.
