Chicado V (1950 – February 1972) was a Champion Quarter Horse racehorse foaled (born) in 1950, and considered one of the outstanding broodmares of her breed.
Two of her offspring were named Champion Quarter Running Horses, and all her foals had a total of seven stakes race wins.
[7][b] Chicaro Bill's dam, or mother, was a mare named Verna Grace, who was known as Fair Chance when she raced.
[11] On her dam's side, she traced to Louisiana Quarter Horse bloodlines as well as to the AQHA Hall of Famer Peter McCue.
Earl Holmes, a longtime trainer who started his racing career as a groom for Vessels, had the care of Chicado V after she was born, and said of her that she "was gentle, real gentle—in everything.
She consistently hung behind the other horses in group training runs, and Jones sent her back to Vessels, who then sent her to trainer Eddie Moreno.
Her other five foals were sired by five different stallions, respectively War Bam, Spotted Bull, Anchor Watch, Double Bid, and fellow Hall of Famer Go Man Go.
Triple Chick was unraced,[4][f] but he remains number 48 on the AQHA's All Time Leading Broodmares Sire List By Winners, a listing of maternal grandsires of race horses arranged by the number of wins their grandget, or grandchildren, have won as of the end of 2007.
He was rated AAAT on the track as well as earning an AQHA Champion award in the show ring after his racing career was over.
[4][20] Three Chicks remains number 42 on the AQHA's All Time Leading Broodmare Sires By Winners.
Anchor Chic started 16 times, with three wins for total earnings of $2,126 (equivalent to $20,600 in 2023)[4][20] and an AAAT speed rating.
[22] Chicado V's penultimate foal was Successor, a bay stallion who started seven times, but never won a race; he was rated AA on the track.
[4] Chicado V's foals won seven stakes races for total prize money of $118,107 (equivalent to $1,034,800 in 2023),[4][20] and two earned AQHA Championships.
[4] Table Tennis went on to become an outstanding broodmare herself, foaling Rapid Volley by Three Bars (TB), among others.
The Ole Man sired 1,876 foals, including 15 stakes winners and 10 AQHA Champions.
