The world of cutting lost a great stallion this we The world of cutting lost a great stallion this week when Smart Mate was laid to rest. 

The 30-year-old son of Smart Little Lena and out of Freckles Playmate (by Freckles Playboy) has made an impact on the breed as a sire and as a broodmare sire. He's fathered the earners of more than $8 million, and his daughters have foaled the winners of nearly that much.

He was owned for the last two and a half decades of his life by Pat and Connie Fitzgerald, of Paoli, Oklahoma.

We talked to Pat about the great horse. Story on our home page.

The late CD Olena won the NCHA Futurity Open Champ The late CD Olena won the NCHA Futurity Open Championship as a 3-year-old, but his influence as a sire extends well beyond the cutting discipline.

The 1991 son of Doc Olena and out of CD Chica San Badger (by Peppy San Badger) has sired the earners of more than $17.6 million. Of that, more than a million of that was earned by his progeny in reined cow horse competition.

His leading reined cow horse earners were Hes Shinettes CD ($190,739), CD Diamond ($153,320) and CD Survivor ($152,723). CD Olena's daughters also foaled cow horse earners of nearly $500,000.

Look through the draw list of this year's NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity, and you'll see how his legacy in the discipline is still feld today through breeding stallions like CD Diamond -- an NRCHA Futurity Open Champion who sired another NRCHA Futurity Open Champion, SJR Diamond Mist -- as well as one of the show's all-time leading sires, CD Lights.

We crunched the numbers to find the all-time leadi We crunched the numbers to find the all-time leading sire in the history of the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity and -- surprise, surprise -- it was the great Shining Spark.

The legendary palomino son of Genuine Doc who was bred by Carol Rose leads all stallions with more than $1.4 million in earnings at that one show alone, according to Equi-Stat. 

He's not the only legend on the list. It's a line-up featuring some of the most talented and versatile sires in in the industry.

We ranked the top 15 sires by earnings, and included many of their leading earners. Story on home page. Link in bio.
