The National Reining Breeders Classic has announced that Dun It For Whizkey / Inferno Sixty Six will sponsor the Hospitality Stations at the twentieth NRBC, set for April 16-23 in Katy, Texas. It is a show already known for hospitality and special amenities, but the NRBC steps it up another level for the anniversary year through the support of some premier breeders in the reining industry.
Bred and owned by Cardinal Reining Horses, Dun It For Whizkey is a 2013 AQHA gray stallion. Shown by Franco Bertolani, Dun It For Whizkey dominated futurity competitions last year thanks to his extreme physical talent and trainable disposition. Showing against the best in the world, the duo won the Tulsa Reining Classic Open L4 Futurity Championship and the AQHA Congress Open L4 Futurity Championship. Then, at NRHA’s biggest event, Bertolani guided the flashy stallion to the NRHA Open L4 Futurity Co-Reserve Championship out of 376 entries. All in all, Dun It For Whizkey won $165,000 in only three outings.
A blue blood through and through, Dun It For Whizkey is by Topsail Whiz, the NRHA All-Time #1 Reining Sire, with offspring earning over 11 million dollars. His dam, Dun It For Chex, was the NRHA #1 Leading Dam for 2016, and she has produced offspring earning over $669,000. Dun It For Whizkey will continue to be shown by trainer Franco Bertolani, while starting his breeding career in 2017.
Inferno Sixty Six has been turning heads ever since he first walked into the show pen. He is sired by NRHA Open Futurity Champion Gunnatrashya. His dam, Snip O Gun, is an NRHA All-Time Leading Producer, with offspring earnings of over $781,000+. Shown by Franco Bertolani, Inferno Sixty Six will continue his lucrative show career in 2017. Inferno Sixty Six and Bertolani were the 2015 NRHA Open L4 Futurity Reserve Champions (after a run-off) and 2016 NRBC Top Ten Open Finalists, and the stallion has earnings of over $162,000. Owned by Slide or Die, LLC, Inferno Sixty Six was in high demand last year and will again stand at Cardinal Reining Horses in 2017.
Located on 200 stunning acres in Aubrey, Texas, Cardinal Ranch has a state-of-the-art breeding facility, fully equipped for all breeding operations such as frozen and cooled shipped semen, full-time mare management, foaling out, and embryo transfers.
