Kool Kue Baby

Texas

Home
When Ramiro Lopez first looked at Kool Kue Baby, she was so small she could have been a pony. Even for a yearling she was tiny, almost a runt. Despite her size, Ramiro liked what he saw in the bay filly and decided to make an offer. He put up two calves, two pigs and a cow dog, and came home with what would prove to be lightening in a bottle.

Kool Kue Baby won her share of races at ages two and three, but by the time she became a veteran campaigner, Kool Kue Baby was winning stakes races by the bushel. She proved to be a mare made of iron; over seven years she won more than two dozen stakes races including her last career start on October 28, 2000 at Lone Star Park. At her retirement, Kool Kue Baby achieved the distinction of being the all-time leader among American Quarter Horses with 25 stakes victories.

Kool Kue Baby beat the best in winning MBNA America Challenge Championship (G1) twice in 1996 and ‘98. She captured the Sam Houston Classic (G1) three times in 1995, ‘96 and ’98. Kool Kue Baby earned the distinction of being named the AQHA Champion Aged Mare in 1996 and 1998.
