Location: Cocoa, Florida | Wow what a smokin run last night by Michelle and Slick by design, 13.47, is that the fastest time a stallion has run at the NFR? What were Dineros fastest times? I bet he will get a lot of interested breeders now!!!
I really enjoy watching Michelle and slick! |

I don't know any stats, but I am a lover of OTMR horses. I raised a son from the last crop and lost him......but he was awesome. Slick is now on my "list." I am not in a position to raise very many foals at the moment so I hope he enjoys a long life so someday I can have one of his babies. He was actually on my list before the NFR btw. |

He was on my list before the NFR also. I was stupid and didn't take advantage of his $1500 stud fee though. Now I think it's $2000. |

Location: Texas | We paid our jet of honor daughter in full to him, but my sister doesn't want to stay off her a year so my stoli mare is going to him instead unless we cough up the money for an ET.
The good thing is, my Stoli mare is black, and Slick is black, so odds are…. I will get a sorrel. LOL. kidding. |

I know this is nitpicky, but wasn't it 13.48? Either way it is the 3rd fastest time this year. And probably in the 10 fastest runs ever at the T&M! |

It's the 4th fastest time run (13.37- Jacobs, 13.46 - Pierce, 13.47 - Jacobs, 13.48 - McLeod)
Dinero's fastest time was a 14.05. But that year (2005) they also won 3 rounds running 14.0's and 5 others with 13.9's, so overall the times weren't as fast. This could be due to different ground or the pattern not being quite set the same. If you watch the videos from years past there were several years where the ground looks really really trashy. There is no way the times they are running at this year's NFR could have been run on that ground. |

| The 4 th fastest time ever run at the Thomas and Mack (about 4300 runs) and the fastest by a stud. He is just 6 yrs old and in his first real season as a rodeo horse. We are so thankful that he healed from his surgery and is performing so well. He has the greatest mind and is just taking all of this in. With this being all of our first NFRs its been a learning experience but one that we have enjoyed every minute. Well not the knocked down barrel minute.. But still thankful to be here. We have a fantastic rider with a great family who has been awesome to work with. We thank everyone who has been following Slick and Michele for all of their well wishes. We are looking forward to what 2014 brings and feel so blessed with the great mares/owners/trainers who have booked to Slick for 2014. Thank you again for everyone's support. Jason |

Can't remember where I read it, but someone said that it's a faster series now because of seating expanded. Idk, but it's fun to follow slick on fb. I do think that this is the fastest set, ever and they keep it exciting! |

Location: Wide open spaces, Canada. | In my opinion he is the must under acknowledged horse of the finals. It has been an incredibly tough year at the Thomas and Mack. Any other year he would be winning go rounds with his times, and he's only 6!!! He is one of my favourite to watch and Michelle is a class act! Love this team. |
