"She had a tough start. She wasn't much to look at when we first got her... We gave her a chance and she just keeps on giving."
Crackers Hot Shot defied trainer Rod Starkewski's expectations to become Alberta's Horse of the Year in 2013 and one of the province's most influential producers. Her legacy shines through her outstanding offspring, including the exceptional Caviar N Crackers, the superstar of the Ed and Ashleigh Hensley barn with over half a million dollars in earnings. Beyond Caviar N Crackers, Crackers Hot Shot has produced multiple Alberta-bred stars, shaping the next generation of champions and leaving a lasting mark on the province’s racing industry.
