Too Much Kiki (Too Much Bling) has been named Texas Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old filly for her on-track exploits in 2024.
Owned by Landon Jordan's Mansfield Racing and trained by Bret Calhoun, gray filly won the first three starts of her campaign, each in stakes (non black-type) and was runner-up in black-type events at Sam Houston and Lone Star Park last spring. She concluded the season with a record of 3-2-1 from seven appearances and earnings of $178,479.
Too Much Kiki was the $100,000 topper at the 2022 Texas Summer Yearling Sale while part of the draft of Highlander Training Center. Her dam, Soft Music (Action This Day), also produced Too Much Kiki's full-sister Bling On The Music, the champion Texas 2-year-old filly of 2016. Soft Music was named 2024 Broodmare of the Year and her owner, Daniele Durham, was crowned breeders of the year.
The leading accredited Texas-bred money earner for 2024 was Equestris Ltd Inc (dba W.S. Farish).
