Hollywood Jac 86
NRHA's First Million Dollar Sire · Sire of Hollywood Dun It · 1993
Hollywood Jac 86 — a 14.3-hand sandy palomino with floppy ears and a dorsal stripe — looked nothing like a celebrity, but his "drop-to-the-basement" stop literally revolutionized the style of reining. Bred by John and Mary Bowling of Sumner, Iowa, he was a 2x NRHA Non-Pro World Champion under Richard Greenberg (1974, 1975). As a sire, he became NRHA's very first Million Dollar Sire in 1993 — a historic milestone that prompted NRHA to create its Million Dollar Sire recognition program. His son Hollywood Dun It reached $6 Million and his influence still ranks on the top paternal grandsire charts today.
