Producer of 9 NCHA money earners.

Miss Silver Pistol is the No. 12 money earner of All-Time ($512,775) and her progeny have earned more than $4.2 million.

The power of Purple's pedigree is now being reflected in his offspring whose earnings exceed $1.2 million dollars. Coast to coast, Smart Little Pistol babies are appearing in the winners' circle. In one defining moment in December of 2002, Chiquita Pistol won the NCHA Open Futurity and propelled Purple into a very exclusive group of Futurity Champion sires. She then became the first horse since 1984 to sweep the Triple Crown and the first mare to ever accomplish this remarkable feat.

She was the NCHA 2003 "Horse of the Year" and she topped 3-year-olds in All Divisions and also in Open All Ages, All Divisions in 2002. After winning the Western Horseman Cup Open Championship and the Augusta Classic Open in January of 2004 the mare was retired with career earnings in excess of $465,749.

She currently sits No. 15 on the All-Time list.
