"Crackers Hot Shot, she had a tough start. She wasn't much to look at when we first got her" — Rod Starkewski
"Crackers Hot Shot was left on her own - Carl Archibald heard us talking, he said 'I'll go get her - I live by there'. I think it took him 3 days to dig her out of the snow. She was completely wild - then we just started working on her. She really needed some humans to work with her - and get to know that people are not scary." — Jackie Starkewski
"Crackers Hot Shot would be one of the top broodmares in Albeta percentage wise if nothing else. Her foals hit the track - they're looking for the winners circle every time." — Connie Kolthammer
