[edit] Life
Maddon's Bright Eyes was foaled on May 12, 1946 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[1] On both her sire's side and on her dam's side she traced to King Plaudit (TB) and to Peter McCue.[2]
She raced from 1948 to 1952 before suffering a career ending injury in her last race, which she finished on three legs in second place.[1] Her record over those five years was twenty-five starts, eighteen wins and five seconds. She only finished off the board twice. Her earnings were $16,576.00 with a top speed rating of AAA.[3] She was retired after injuring herself in the August 29, 1952 Championship Dash at Centennial Park. She broke so fast from the gate that she ripped a tendon off her stifle joint, and although she came in second in the race, she was hobbling after the race. She retired holding three mare world records: at 300, 250 and 220 yards.[4]
One of her pecularities was that she liked raw eggs, and was fed a dozen a day when she was training at the track. She was also known to chase hens off their eggs in order to eat them.[5]
After four foals, Maddon's Bright Eyes became paralyzed in her hind quarters and was humanely put down on June 29, 1958.[1] Two of her foals earned their Race Register of Merit - Bright Bar and Me Bright.[3]
She was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame.[6]
