Speed apparently ran in the bloodlines of this champion sprinter. Sired by a champion sprinter and a half sibling to another one, today's mystery horse is also a full sibling to a horse who made his mark in the Quarter Horse world by siring two winners of that breed's top race for juveniles, the All-American Futurity. Can you name this champion and the other notable members of the family mentioned here?

Ta Wee! Twice champion sprinter, half to twice champion sprinter Dr. Fager and full to Aforethought (sire of All American Futurity winners Timeto Thinkrich in 1973 and Hot Idea in 1977).

Love that 1-r family of Aspidistra and even had a mare whose third dam was Ta Wee, with additional lines to Dr. Fager and Magic.

Was pretty sure I knew the answer but I looked back on some of your pedigree articles mentioning Aspidistra to make sure. Thought it would be useful to share with your readers:
