For Meteles Cat, this is yet another testament to his success as a sire. Having produced foals that have already earned over $2 million with relatively small foal crops, Meteles Cat continues to prove his impact across the performance horse industry. His leading money earner, Fancy Meteles, has earned $175,645, and his offspring continue to dominate both the cutting and cowhorse arenas.
As Solo Select prepares for Meteles Cat's standing at their Gainesville, Texas facility in 2025, his influence on the industry will only continue to grow, particularly with exciting incentives like the new NRCHA Stallion Stakes Incentive, Royal Crown Roping, NCHA Super Stakes, and the upcoming Solo Select Stallion Incentive.
Congratulations to Kristyn Runyan, Luke Hammerness, and the entire team for this well-deserved victory with Tell Me What U Want. The future for this promising colt and his sire, Meteles Cat, looks incredibly bright.
