Got CountryGrip, one of the fastest American Paint Horses in the world, won the Speedhorse Sprint Derby July 28 at Fair Meadows racetrack in Tulsa, Okla.
Racing fans watched the 3-year-old Paint win by three-fourths of a length. The Oklahoma-bred covered the 350 yards in 17.74 seconds into a head wind.
Got Country Grip won for the 12th straight time. His stablemate, Texas Royal Snow, won the $116,000 Speedhorse Sprint Futurity as owner Jimmy Maddux, jockey G.R. Carter Jr. and trainer Brandon Parum pulled off the rich Stakes double. The victory pushed Got Country Grip’s earnings to $201,800
“No doubt he’s the fastest,†said multiple AQHA and APHA champion jockey, G.R. Carter, Jr., about all the horses he has ridden. “He’s not even a challenge…he’s on top of my list.â€
