Although no one knows for sure, it is estimated that he sired over 1500
foals. This includes 20 years before the formation of the AQHA.
Gonzales Joe Bailey is described as an agreeable horse that was lightning quick.
So fast that "he was almost scary to ride... and that your eyes would water
while in the saddle". His offspring where highly prized.
He died May 3, 1947 at the Ellis Ranch in Gonzales, Texas, 2 days short
of turning 28, where he had lived for two decades.
