A great racehorse in the 1940s and later a sire of lightning-fast runners, Jackstraw is a western thoroughbred worth remembering. Silver Horde and out of Absurdity, a race-winning daughter of Pagan Pan. His lines trace to Bull Dog, The Tetrarch, and twice to Luke McLuke - the damsire of Three Bars. His pedigree alone made Jackstraw a promising potential sire of quarter horse runners, but his accomplishments on the track validated his blue-blooded heritage.
