This is a very substantial half Arabian gelding showing loads of strength and talent. He's doing spins and stops in the field and it a real pretty loper. His dam, Hollywood Cremella, is a Hollywood White daughter (3X NRHA world champion and sire of Scottsdale half arabian reining futurity champion) We love Mel. She's so quiet, but with a very subtle way about her that gets her special attention. She's also 15 hands and this is a big baby, so I expect him to get some size. He'll be a definite prospect for the big bucks $$$$ at the Half Arabian Reining Futurity at Scottsdale. See http://arha.net/ for that info!

This is Cardsharp (Magus X Bask O Zel daughter, Savannah Bask), colt's sire. He has over $14,000 in race earnings after 3 seasons and retired sound. His sire is Magus:
MAGUS is the result of a classic outcross in breeding terms. His sire, the legendary *Orzel is one of the dominate racing sire lines available today, and one of the most successful performance lines, while his dam, ML Magic Fairy by *Touch of Magic, is the classic "old" English/Crabbet blood so prized today for its beauty, size, ability and substance. His maternal grand-dam, Sugar Plum Fairy, was the 1966 National Champion Mare of England. To date, MAGUS has sired 89% winners from starters and 60% Stakes Winners or Stakes Placed runners for a total of over $450,000.
Magus at 28.
