DASHIN FOLLIES
DASHIN FOLLIES is a mare whose star has shone brightly on two different continents!
Her foals have made a huge impact on racing in both the United States and Brazil.
Bred by Henry Brown, the 1999 daughter of Strawfly Special was born into royalty. Her dam was 1996 World Champion and multiple stakes producer DASHING FOLLY, who earned almost $536,000, winning TEN races in a row at one time for trainer Donna McArthur, including a one-length win in the Champion of Champions!
DASHIN FOLLIES produced 24 winners on the track with earnings of more than $1.7 million, including SEVEN blacktype-earners sired by five different stallions!
Her runners are led by PYC PAINT YOUR WAGON, a Grade I stakes winner of almost $890,000. PYC PAINT YOUR WAGON is also the #6 all-time sire of Quarter Horse money-earners. His sons and daughters have earned more than $44,000,000 on the track. He’s the sire of both Quarter Horse and Paint running Champions! His Quarter Horses earned more than $1.75 million in 2024 alone!
DASHIN FOLLIES is also the dam of IVORY JAMES, who collected $220,000 on the track before becoming one of the Top 25 all-time sires of money-earners worth more than $25 million!
DASHIN FOLLIES’ runners also include MI ANGELA, a stakes winner of almost $138,000, and $101,000-earner EYE FOLLIES.
DASHIN FOLLIES’ daughters have excelled as broodmares, as well, producing stakes horses like All American Futurity runner-up IM JESS SPECIAL V, who earned $524,000, JESS A DASHIN ANGELA, a stakes winner of $249,000 and JESS PAINT YOUR LIPS, a GRADE I stakes winner of $159,000.
While DASHIN FOLLIES spent much of her life in Oklahoma, while owned by Michael Pohl, Marcos Leite of Brazil saw the value of the great broodmare and wanted to raise foals with her powerful genetics. He eventually purchased DASHIN FOLLIES in 2016 and it was not long before her impact was felt at Leite’s Haras Portofino.
Since arriving in Brazil her foals have been in high demand at the Haras Portofino annual production sales. DASHIN FOLLIES has produced both racing Champions in Brazil and sons that have gone on to be successful sires in Brazil like TELLER FERRARI MRL, who won the Grade I Potro do Futuro and IMPERADOR EAGLE MRL, winner of the Grade I Taça do Ouro.
DASHIN FOLLIES, a once-in-a-lifetime mare that first made a name for herself in Oklahoma, is truly an international star!
