House of Cameron, Texas, and his owner when he was registered was Bert H. Wood of Tucson, Arizona.AQHA "Official Stud Book and Registry Combined 1-5" p. 110] He was the son of Joe Reed P-3 and Nellene, a daughter of Fleeting Time (TB).Simmons, "Legends: Outstanding Quarter Horse Stallions and Mares" p. 152-154] He was over half Thoroughbred by breeding, as both his sire and his dam were by Thoroughbreds.
