“D-Man” TR Smooth Jazz

Details

This colt’s dam is well-known for producing incredibly sweet, good-minded foals. Backed by our signature dam-side stallion, Fancy Cut Diamonds, he inherits a legacy of great disposition and a willing attitude. Combined with the speed, agility, and strong cow sense from his sire, this young foal has an incredibly bright future. As one of our last foals of the season, he’s still filling out, but it won’t be long before he’s the d-man.

The Pedigree Behind Our Horses

Our breeding program centers on a specific philosophy: mixing legendary running blood with elite cow blood to produce athletic horses with great minds and unmatched versatility.

Dam’s Side: Elite Cow Sense & Hall of Fame Royalty

The maternal line is anchored by Doc Bar (AQHA Hall of Fame, 1993), a stallion who completely revolutionized the cutting horse industry. As Charlie Ward of the Jensen Ranch beautifully put it, “His colts are all uniform and possess a lot of sense. They’re easy to train, they have a lot of natural ability – every one of them is cowy.”

This strong foundation is complemented by:

• Diamonds Sparkle: Inducted into both the NRHA (1996) and AQHA (2007) Halls of Fame, she was an outstanding show mare and an even better producer.

• Poco Bueno: An AQHA Hall of Fame legend (1990) who sired 405 registered foals, including 36 AQHA Champions. Trainer Bob Fagan famously noted, “Poco Bueno was the greatest horse I’ve ever been with… He was easy to handle. Gentle. And smart. Nearly all his colts were the same way.”

• Jet Deck & Lightning Bar: Bringing pure athleticism to the mix, Lightning Bar (AQHA Hall of Fame, 2008) was a phenomenal racehorse and breeding stallion who injects incredible speed into this maternal line.

Sire’s Side: Speed, Power, & Performance Giants

The paternal side brings explosive athletic ability, intelligence, and a legacy of winning.

• Dash For Cash: An absolute titan of the industry, he won 21 of his 25 racetrack starts, usually with “plenty of daylight to spare.” Inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 1997, he didn’t just pass on speed; his intelligence and versatility produced incredible cow horses, including NCHA World Champion Miss N Cash.

• Smart Little Lena: Inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2015, this legendary stallion proved that “it’s the size of the fight in the horse that matters.” With his low, flowing, “snaky” style, he won the NCHA Triple Crown and retired with over $577,652 in earnings. As a sire and grandsire, his offspring have dominated the AQHA, NRHA, NRCHA, and NCHA—earning an astronomical $50+ million in cutting alone. His legacy lives on; at the 2014 NCHA Futurity, 23 of the 25 open finalists carried his blood.

• Mr Eye Opener: Inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2020, he sired 95 stakes winners and the earners of over $28.2 million. He stands as one of the all-time leading sires of money earners, second only to First Down Dash among sons of Dash For Cash.
