Pedigree History
Crimewave Crimewave was bred the same as many top race sires in the USA. First Down Dash was his sire and Antheria, a daughter of Beduino, was his dam. As a breeder, you should always breed the best blood you can. I had assembled a small band of broodmares that I liked. They moved good and the tail-end side of their papers went back to speed. In the group I had two cowbred fillies that I bought as babies. I decided to breed them to Crimewave to raise barrel horses. Foxy Crime was Licorice Fox’s first baby. She went on to finish 7th in the world in the WPRA with Tracy Dawson. She was the first of many champions on this line. Crimewave was a “ringer” to sire barrel horses. About 85% of the offspring trained for barrels became champions. He threw the same long powerful hip, low hocks, sloping shoulders and intelligence in a range of different mares. I realized that to be able to stamp your get with the same traits over a range of different mares, is the sign of a strong sire. His offspring are very trainable and athletic – a good combination for any trainer or breeder. Today in my Crimewave offspring, I am carrying those traits forward. Crimewave daughters are proving to be great producers.
Shawne Bug opened 1976 with a win in the Rocky Mountain Quarter Horse Association Derby, but at Ruidoso he met a buzz saw known as My Easy Credit who became the first horse to win a Triple Crown at Ruidoso as he took the Kansas Derby, Rainbow Derby and All-American Derby. Shawne Bug outran My Easy Credit int he All-American Trial; however, he was thrid to My Easy Credit in the Finals. The stalwart Oklahoma-bred Shawne Bug would earn more than $180,000 as a three-year-old in 1977. With a bankroll of $277,000 when he retired, he stood at stud at Shawnee Farms in Tecumseh for a fee of $750 under the guidance of Henry and Linda Bowlan and Dr. Leon Self. After the passing of Mike Levis, they had purchased Shawne Bug from the Levis Estate. Mari George, the Indiana woman who ran Indianapolis Motor Speedway, became a partner with the Bowlans on Shawne Bug.
