Life
Goetta was a 1961 sorrel foal, sired by Go Man Go and out of a daughter of Leo named Etta Leo.[2] Her dam was out of a daughter of Band Play, and the third dam descended from Peter McCue[3]
Goetta raced for three years, with thirty-one starts. She won twenty-two of her starts, placing second twice and was third twice. The American Quarter Horse Association (or AQHA) named her the 1964 World Champion Quarter Running Horse, as well as the 1965 Champion Quarter Running Aged Mare and the 1963 Champion Quarter Running Two Year Old Filly. Her total earnings on the track were $233,920.00 and sixty-eight racing points. Besides the Championship titles, she also was a Race Register of Merit earner with an AAAT speed rating, and an AQHA Superior Race Horse.[2] She won the All American Futurity, among other stakes wins.[4]
She produced seven foals, six of whom were race winners with two of those being stakes winners. She died in 1978 giving birth to her seventh foal.[4]
She was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame.[5]
