Mr Smooth Pac si 103 Stakes Winner of 27 races had a "heart to win" and was considered as one of the toughest horses to outrun in the mid-west in the mid-80's. A good friend of Guy Ray Rutland's, Mr. A.J. Pursley, bred and raised Mr Smooth Pac.

His offspring proved him to be a sire, as well. Of his starters on the track, 67% were winners and 61% earned their Register of Merit. He sired such horses as Whites Man Friday si 97 Stakes Winner $30,998 with 12 wins, 6 seconds and 4 thirds in 31 starts; Mr Smooth Grit si 101 Graded Stakes Horse; Smooth Moon Pac si 90 Graded Stakes Horse; etc.

His dam, Butler Smooth Lady si 95 is the dam of 7 starters, 5 ROM including Mr Smooth Two si 95; Baileys Smooth Pac (who was a AAA Stakes Producer AND the dam of Marthas Smoothover, #19 All-Time Leading Barrel Horse earning $161,373), etc. They both were full siblings to Mr Smooth Pac.

Bennett's Butler AA (by Ridge Butler) was a Leading Dam of 12 ROMs including Butler Bailey Two si 90 Stakes Winner; Ledo Sabu si 95 Stakes Winner, AAA Stakes Producer; Lady Butler Bar si 86 Stakes Winner; Butler Bailey si 86 Stakes Placed; etc.
