The 2005 stallion (Wimpys Little Step x Tejana Chic x Smart Chic Olena), owned by Clark Reining Horses LLC, Catlettsburg, Ky., and bred by Brent Loseke, Aubrey, Texas, marked a 228 for top honors. That score bested the Reserve Champions, Chic Olena Starbuck (Smart Starbuck x Sanger Chic x Smart Chic Olena) and Tom McCutcheon, Aubrey, by a four-point margin.
Wimps Chocolate Chip, who has been shown mostly by Rick Clark in the Non-Pro, had posted $44,521 to his Equi-Stat record before winning in Lexington and Flarida has garnered more than $4.6 million throughout his career.
