Wimpys Little Chic — "Lexi" — is the greatest money-earning show horse in NRHA history with $516,555 in lifetime earnings. Bred by Monica Watson of Double Run Farm in North Carolina, by Wimpys Little Step (HOF 2011) out of Collena Chic Olena (HOF 2011), she was trained and shown exclusively by Shawn Flarida. In 2007, the golden palomino won the NRHA Futurity. In 2008 she won the NRBC and the Derby — becoming the first and only horse in NRHA history to win the Triple Crown. She was also the first horse to exceed $400K, then $500K. Retired to the breeding shed in 2010, she produced ARC Gunnabeabigstar, Shesouttayourleague, and All Bettss Are Off — three more NRHA Futurity Champions.
