Information von McQuay Stables (Quelle Facebook):
«Hollywoodstinseltown was laid to rest early the morning on July 5 on a hilltop at Silva Reining Horses in Pilot Point, Texas. The 16-year-old palomino stallion was owned by Dave and Bonnie Silva and has long been the senior star of their reining endeavors.The son of National Reining Horse Association $7.5 Million Sire Hollywood Dun It out of $772K producer and NRHA All-time Leading Mare Miss Tinseltown, was a product of the McQuay Stables training program. He earned L4 Open finalist slots at both the NRHA Futurity and Derby with NRHA Hall of Famer Tim McQuay. With that auspicious start, Hollywoodstinseltown went on to gather a list of titles and laurels with McQuay assistant trainer Marco Ricotta that included the National Reining Breeders Classic L3 Championship, an NRHA Derby L4 Reserve Championship and L3 Championship. His lifetime record would ultimately include earnings over $185,000 plus a World Equestrian Games Gold Medal with McQuay.As his competitive career was winding down it was already evident that Hollywoodstinseltown would leave as dramatic a mark on the breeding world as he had in the arena. His foals showed promise early, catapulting him past the million mark in 2017, then crossing the $2 million milestone in 2019. His offspring currently have earnings over $2.5 million.Tinseltown Fly Guy, out of Fly Flashy Jac, is Hollywoodstinseltown’s highest money earning offspring with over $264,000 in NRHA earnings. He is followed by Shining In Town, out of Shine Ann, with over $200,000 earned.For the Silvas, Hollywoodstinseltown or “Dave” as he was affectionately known, was much more than just an accomplished athlete and successful sire. He was part of the family and his humane euthanization due to the complications of a bacterial infection, was a heartbreak. Their consolation will come from watching his legacy continue to grow and live on through his many foals – and those yet to be born.»
