Among the Top 20 all-time leading breeders of money earners, Pevehouse is tied for #1 in percentage of starters to winners with AQHA Hall Of Fame breeders Joe Kirk Fulton and the Allred Brothers.

"Another amazing figure about Carl‘s statistics is that he accomplished that record while having at least 200 less starters than the other 19 breeders on that list," Wise added.

"The McKinney family and all of us at Lazy E are honored to have Jess Good Candy, the best horse that Carl Pevehouse ever raised, standing with us. Rozella Pevehouse and Clint Crawford have done an excellent job of managing this great horse, and we look forward to working with them for a long, long time," Wise said

"Everyone who has seen this horse knows what an outstanding individual he is. He has such a presence about him. You combine that with his bone, soundness and dominating race record and his "Candy" pedigree, saying that he is ‘the complete package' may sound trite, but he is the total and complete package," he continued.
