Ipana Maid and her produce cleaned up on the Appaloosa racetrack, earning the mare her place in the Appaloosa Racing Hall of Fame. Walter Anderson of Turpin, Oklahoma, bred the 1961 chestnut mare for speed. By High Hand F-3366 and out of Pinkey (Unreg.), Ipana Maid is the full sister to Walter’s 1960 stallion Doctor Judge, who won the World Wide Futurity in 1963.

Little is know about the bottom side of Ipana Maid’s pedigree. Her official ApHC record lists her dam as Pinkey, an unregistered mare of unknown parentage. An April 1963 advertisement for Ipana Maid in Appaloosa News lists a Quarter Horse mare named Pinkie as her dam and includes three generations of Pinkie’s pedigree, with Snip Raffles (AQHA) (by Raffles, JC) as her sire and an Anderson Quarter Horse as her dam.

In 1963 Ipana Maid earned the 2-year-old sprint filly title with places in the World Wide Futurity and the Centennial Juvenile Stakes. In 1964 she came in first in the Tribunal Derby and second in the Texas and Oklahoma derbies. She finished her racing career with an 11-2-6-1 record and lifetime earnings of $8,309.04.

As a broodmare, Ipana Maid earned a bronze production plaque in 1976. She produced 12 foals including eight starters, four winners and three stakes winners. Her foals earned a combined $101,299.65 on the track. Her medallion winners include 1974 World Wide Futurity winner Dervish Maid (by Dancing Dervish, JC), 1974 World Wide Futurity winner Zepana Bull (by Bolodier, JC) and 1977 champion 3-year-old filly Ipana Girl.

Ipana Maid died in 1989 at L.K. Rutherford’s ranch in Oklahoma.
