"To give Trevor and I some credit, we know what we have," Miles Baker said those words in an interview in May of 2023, right after announcing the syndication of the Bay Roan Stallion by the name of The Darkk Side. Baker and Trevor Brazile, a 26-time World Champion himself, never faltered in their faith in the standout rope horse. They spoke proudly about The Darkk Side. "He's a winner." Brazile said earlier this year after three trips to town brought his earnings to over $20,000.
Following todays events, The Darkk Side has now earned over $75,000 and now holds a title that is hard to come by... World Champion. The stallion was started by Chris Littlefield as a two year old before going under Miles and Trevor in the Relentless Remuda program his three year old year, where he would make history by becoming the first Rope Horse Stallion to be syndicated.
"There's just nothing like him" Solo Select's Melanie Smith said. "This is such a huge victory, for all of us here. From the syndicate share holders - who now have a part of a World Champion stallion, to Dixon Flowers Rope Horses who bred him and who own his dam DT Sugar Chex Whiz. It's a big deal."
The Darkk Side wasn't the only winner today, the 2019 bay roan stallion Pride And Joyy 'Kilo' also made his mark, bringing home $14,000 and becoming a Bronze Champion in the AQHA Junior Heeling.
This special episode takes place immediately after receiving the news, where Melanie Smith, Miles Baker, and Trevor Brazile talk about the incredible morning both stallions had. You can learn more about The Darkk Side by visiting www.thedarkkside.com and more information will be coming soon on Pride And Joyy.
