REMEMBER ME ROSE
Due to the recent achievements of her offspring on the track, we know that broodmare deluxe REMEMBER ME ROSE is someday destined to be honored by the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame.
Since all of us here tonight like to finish first in every race, we want this Oklahoma-mare bred to first be inducted into the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Hall of Fame!
Oklahoma residents Max and Linda Alumbaugh of MLA International were responsible for this mare who in 2006, 2007 and 2008 won five stakes races in while earning more than $820,000. That’s $1.3 Million in 2023 dollars.
The Alumbaughs took an Oklahoma-bred Top Moon mare to Mighty Acres in Pryor in 1985 and bred her to the Thoroughbred stallion Zevi. The Alumbaughs raced that foal named Im Moonlighting a couple of years and in 2003 they took her to Lazy E where she was bred her to Corona Cartel.
In 2004, a sorrel filly that they would name Remember Me Rose hit the ground . . . and American Quarter Horse history would never be the same.
The Albumbaughs had Lazy E consign Remember Me Rose to a yearling sale in California where she brought $73,000. After her career on the tracks Dr. Steve Burns purchased the mare at Heritage Place and put her in his broodmare band in California.
While we could talk for the rest of evening about what Remember Me Rose has done as a broodmare, it all comes to this:
In the last five years, REMEMBER ME ROSE has had 5 Grade I winners on the tracks:
RUNFORYOURLIFE $620,822
CYBER MONDAY $528,428
BOMB CYCLONE $1,379,291
POWERFUL FAVORITE $1,226,875
CYBER ATTACK $1,151,917
You may have noticed that three of those runners have each earned more than $1 million . . . and all three of those millionaires won Grade I Stakes in 2022.
We’re not sure how many mares have ever produced 3 millionaires, but we do feel sure that REMEMBER ME ROSE is the only mare to have 3 millionaires racing in the same year!!!
