Life

Grey Badger II foaled on May 5 1941.Close "Legends 2" p. 58] He was registered with number 2006 in the AQHA. His stud book listing gives his color as gray, and his breeder as Walter F. Merrick of Texola, Oklahoma. His sire was Midnight Jr #210, and his dam was listed as Grey Annie #3502 by Billy the Tough, second dam as Casey Jones mare by Casey Jones. He was owned by Chick Crisp of Sayre, Oklahoma at the time he was registered.AQHA "Official Stud Book and Registry Combined 1-5" p. 144] His sire was a son of Midnight and traced to Peter McCue three times. His dam traced to Peter McCue two more times, making Grey Badger II inbred to Peter McCue, with five crosses.

He was a noted match racer during the 1940's. His official racing record with the AQHA has him starting six times in three years, with two wins and no seconds or thirds. He achieved an AA speed rating.Wagoner "Quarter Racing Digest" p. 453-454]

He died on the Triangle Ranch in Texas, probably around 1972. Among his famous offspring were Grey Badger III and Badger's Grey. His granddaughter Triangle Tookie is a leading producer of AQHA Champions, including Two Eyed Jack.

He was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame. [ [http://www.aqha.com/foundation/halloffame/halloffamebios.html AQHA Hall of Fame] accessed on February 3, 2008]
