The NRHA Derby has been good for the Gunners!

We want to congratulate Jewels Big Shot & Gunners Smokin Chex on their success in the 4YO Stakes, and wish good luck to Best Is Yet Too Come & Kicking Up Smoke in the NRHA Open Derby Finals on Saturday!

So far, direct offspring of Gunner have won over $37,500... and we still have the finals ahead of us!

Noize Complaint, by 𝗚𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 and out of Blazed By Commander, was piloted by Cade McCutcheon to a 228.5 in Tulsa earlier this month. The score earned the pair the titles of OKRHA Ride & Slide L4 Open Derby Reserve Champion, Open 4-Year-Old Stakes Reserve Champion, and Novice Horse Open Derby Reserve Champion.

This exceptional son of 𝗚𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 was bred by Allison & Alan Chappell and is proudly owned by Bosque Ranch Performance Horses.

We are excited to watch Cade and Noize Complaint continue their momentum throughout the season.

Straight from the SOURCE.

Gunner sired and grand-sired more Champions and Reserve Champions than any other reining sire this year at the All American Quarter Horse Congress.

The direct offspring of Gunner, along with the sons and daughters of Gunner-bred sires and mares, earned a collective $403,000 across all levels of the Open and Non Pro Derbies & Futurities — proving once again that this is a bloodline built for success.

Congratulations to all, and thank you for believing in the Gunner bloodline.
