Here you go Callisto.
I have a project for you.
Go through all the results listed on this website,

Get all the horses names and compare them to their AQHA records. See how many have the money won as well as the point stats listed in AQHA.
Then tell me there is no proof.
AQHA records are not the "be all" in a horses life.
