In 2012 Playboy Roy was inducted into the Hall of Fame.ย The following is written by The Australian Quarter Horse Association.
“This year another exceptional stallion made his way into the Hall of Fame known by many as the infamous Playboy Roy (dec) Q-31044. Playboy Roy owned and nominated by Yulgilbar Quarter Horse Stud had sired hundreds of successful performance horses in Cutting, Campdraft and Western Performance, Youth and other events. His progeny had the stamp of being all-rounders embodying everything a Quarter Horse should be.
“Born in 1987, Playboy Roy was sired by Senoritas Playboy out of Genuine Rose. During his limited show career, he received a Register of Merit in Cutting and Western Performance and many National Cutting Horse Association titles.
“He went on to become the sixth Leading Sire for all NCHA events in Australia in 2009. He was also ranked the sixth Leading Sire of Open Futurity winners in 2008 and the third Sire of Open and Non Pro Derby winners in 2008.
“To date, he is the sire of 520 Quarter Horses with lifetime earnings from just 188 of his progeny reaching $11.2 million. His progeny has included the likes of campdrafting champions TK Playgirl and Yulgilbar Midnight Cowgirl, while in western pleasure Yulgilbar Kahlua Boy also won numerous awards. His progeny has not been reserved just for the western classes either, with KG Alittle Playboy making a name for himself in the Hunter Under Saddle events.
“In total his progeny has won 35 Register of Merits in Cutting, Campdrafting and Western Performance, three Bronze Centuries, one Silver Century in Campdrafting and five Superior Horse Campdrafting and Western Performance awards.
“The AQHA welcomes Playboy Roy into the Hall of Fame for many reasons including the legacy of champions that he left behind that continue to make their mark on the Australian western performance industry.
