Born 5-14-26 Some years we do a fun theme for names. This year for Top Gun Whiskey we are continuing with Top Gun Call Signs from the original 1986 movie and the 2022 movie. Our other stallions will have the names of Rock Bands from the 70s, 80s and 90s. This filly is named Go Gos, as in the Go-Go’s, after the American all-female rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1978, known for pioneering women in new wave and achieving commercial success with their own songs. Some of their most famous songs were “We Got the Beat”, “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “Vacation”. Lead singer, Belinda Carlisle went on to a solo career and had a hit “Heaven is a Place on Earth”.
‘Go-Gos’ is a bay filly with a left rear white pastern and a right rear small white pastern. Her dam is GBL Royal Letha’s aka Gypsy. We have been adding Playgun influence in our broodmares for a few years now. We found GBL Farms a few years ago and really liked their stallion, Lethal Playgun. We purchased a 2015 bay mare from them by Lethal Playgun, Letha’s Lena. We like having full and half sisters in our herd, so when we see Gypsy was actually ¾ sister to Letha’s Lena, we were very excited! Gypsy’s sire is Lethal Playgun. He is a proven producer of money earners in NCHA, NRHA, and NRCHA as well as AQHA point earners. He has also produced winners in barrel racing, roping, and open show events. The other names on “Gypsy’s” papers are just stacked with money earners!! “Gypsy” is loaded with cow and a newer bloodline to our program. Gypsy’s damside is just as impressive and brings wonderful older cowbred athletes to her pedigree. Her first foal was born in 2022, Top Gun Anchovy JW and is sold. Her 2024 foal, Top Gun Andromeda JW, stayed in ND. Her 2025 foal we unfortunately lost in a cold wet May snow event.
Her sire is Whoop Up Whiskey . ‘Whoop’ is a 2010 son of Paddys Irish Whiskey and out of a great John Scott mare, My Little Sugar Babe. This is his 13th foal crop. The Paddys Irish Whiskey horses are making a name for themselves in everything from cutting to cowhorse events to roping horses and are very versatile. A key difference between Whoop Up Whiskey and our other PIW sons is the dam pedigree. Whoop’s dam goes to Doc O Dynamite who also stood at the John Scott Ranch. Doc O Dynamite was an Equi-State leading cutting sire from 1999-2005 who produced money earners and according to his performance record, his daughters have produced many money earning foals in AQHA, NCHA, NRHA and NRCHA. Doc O Dynamite has a pedigree that traces back to Three Bars giving a bit more stretch and speed to his offspring and shows up on the pedigree of many arena and speed event horses. Whoop Up Whiskey aka Whoop brings that little more height and length and speed to our program as. He has excellent bone, athleticism and conformation. His lineage tells us that his offspring will have cow and will be capable of performing at any level. Whoop’s foals are breaking out really kind and level headed.
Go-Gos should be a nice all around prospect with a lot of style. She is standing out to us as a top pick. She will be able to excel in the arena or on the ranch as well. We are seeing a lot of that style and grace in these Whoop babies.
