A standout colt by The Darkk Side out of the proven, Cudd owned mare Chars Gun led the 2025 Cudd Quarter Horses Production Sale, commanding the high bid of $50,000. Bred by Renee Cudd and raised at Solo Select, this colt represents one of the most consistent and profitable crosses in today’s rope horse industry.

His dam, Chars Gun, is already the producer of RELENTLESS PYC, the $190,000+ earner who has dominated nearly every major judged heading futurity over the past two years.

RELENTLESS PYC’s record includes wins and top finishes at the Royal Crown, ARHFA, Oil Can Classic, and more—solidifying Chars Gun’s value as a cornerstone mare in modern rope horse breeding.
The Darkk Side was syndicated in 2023, with all shares selling out within a single day—a testament to the industry’s confidence in his potential. Since then, he has continued to build momentum, with breedings in high demand and extremely limited availability. Shown by both Trevor Brazile and Miles Baker of the Relentless Remuda, he’s proving himself not only in the arena but also as a sire, with early foals commanding top dollar and making waves across the rope horse futurity world. Renee Cudd was one of the very first people to jump on a Darkk Side share - and it has paid off ten-fold.

Raised on ADM feed and GroStrong mineral from conception to sale, this colt was developed with attention to every detail. He was foaled and grown out at Solo Select on behalf of Renee Cudd, receiving the kind of management reserved for elite-level show horses.
The $50,000 final bid marks one of the highest-selling rope horse weanling prospects of the year and underscores the demand for proven crosses backed by performance, production, and professional development. With a track record already established by both his sire and half sibling, this colt will be one to watch in future futurities.
