Colonel Lil, a daughter from his first foal crop, won the 1981 NCHA futurity. Though Colonel Freckles died in 1986, he is currently listed in 1997 issues of the Quarter Horse News as:
- 1st leading paternal grandsire of reined cowhorses
- 2nd leading maternal grandsire of reining horses
- 4th leading paternal grandsire of reining horses
