Bill
Cameron
first
laid
eyes
on
Dun
It
For
Money
as a
yearling
where
he
was
in a
pen
with
other
colts.
Bill,
knowing
he
was
too
expensive
for
him,
purchased
another
colt
who
turned
out
to
be a
champion.
Bill
could
not
get
him
out
of
his
mind.
As a
three
year
old,
he
was
then
sent
to
the
NRHA
Futurity
where
he
placed
in
the
finals.
The
following
Spring
Dun
It
For
Money
was
shown
at
the
Olympic
Trials
in
Burbank.
Bill
sat
in
the
stands
with
the
owner
as
they
watched
a
hot
mad
stallion
stop
and
refuse
to
go
any
more.
The
rider
threw
his
hands
up
in
the
air
and
rode
out
of
the
arena.
The
owner
ran
over
and
grabbed
Dun
It
For
Money
from
the
trainer.
Bill
did
not
see
him
again
for
6
months
and
Bill
still
could
not
get
him
out
of
his
mind.
When
Dun
It
For
Money
went
up
for
sale,
Bill
sent
for
him.
At
the
time
that
he
arrived
at
Bill's
ranch,
he
was
upset
at
the
world
and
came
out
of
the
trailer
on
his
hind
legs
rearing
and
striking.
At
that
moment,
Bill
decided
that
Dun
It
For
Money
wasn't
ever
going
to
leave
his
side.
You
see,
both
were
at a
very
similar
stage
in
their
lives
and
when
they
looked
each
other
in
the
eye,
there
was
a
silent
understanding.
With
a
month
of
horse
trading
and
negotiating,
Bill
was
able
to
purchase
Dun
It
For
Money.
This
was
the
most
incredible
moment
in
Bill's
life.
Bill
led
him
down
to
his
arena
and
with
eager
anticipation
Bill
mounted
him.
Dun
It
For
Money
promptly
reached
around
and
grabbed
Bill's
leg
with
his
mouth
and
took
him
to
the
ground.
Bill
pulled
his
head
around,
got
him
up,
and
got
back
on.
Away
they
went
on
their
first
trail
ride
together.
Bill
made
him
a
promise
that
he
would
not
ever
work
him
or
train
him
in
an
arena
again
because
of
Dun
It
For
Money's
bad
experiences.
He
blossomed
very
quickly
and
never
once
did
he
show
any
signs
of
quitting
or
getting
mad!
The
following
summer
Bill
decided
to
enter
him
in
the
prestigious
Santa
Barbara
Fiesta
Rodeo
and
Stock
Horse
show
him
in
Open
Reining.
They
won
it!
Bill
then
entered
him
in
the
Monterey
National
Horse
Show
Open
and
again
they
took
the
championship
title.
Bill
and
Dun
It
For
Money
moved
to
Rosamond,
CA
where
they
occasionally
showed
at
the
local
level.
Not
wanting
to
do
reining
with
Dun
It
anymore
they
just
played
around
roping
,
team
penning,
and
working
cattle.
When
Dun
It
For
Money
turned
15
years
old,
Bill
decided
to
semi
retire
him
to
occasional
trail
rides
only.
Dun
It
For
Money
was
not
happy
and
grew
over
time
to
become
mad
and
resentful
over
non
use.
The
Extreme
Cowboy
Association
"EXCA"
Racing
finals
just
three
days
away,
Bill
decided
to
pull
him
out
of
his
pen
and
try
him
on
obstacles.
To
Bill's
surprise
he
loved
it!
In
this
first
EXCA
race,
Dun
It
For
Money
had
to
jump,
drag
logs,
and
go
over
teeter
bridges
for
the
first
time
because
Bill
had
not
had
a
chance
to
introduce
him
to
them.
Dun
It
did
not
refuse
one
obstacle!
They
placed
4th
in
the
Regional
Championship
with
only
3
days
preparation.
Their
first
run
video
is
the
most
posted
and
viewed
globally
and
still
is
the
favorite.

Three
weeks
later
Bill
took
Dun
It
For
Money
to
the
Vaquero
Days
EXCA
race
in
Desconso,
CA
where
they
won
the
Pro
title.
A
few
months
later
Bill
took
him
to
the
EXCA
World
Championship
where
they
made
finals
and
put
on
the
first
match
race
against
Lee
Hart.

The
Equine
Affaire
EXCA
race
was
a
couple
months
later
where
they
placed
3rd
against
California's
toughest
competition.
See

Soon
after
they
competed
at
the
California
Cowboy
Racers
EXCA
event
and
they
won
it!
This
was
his
last
race.
Shortly
afterwards,
on
May
24,
2011
at
approximately
2:43
pm,
Dun
It
For
Money
had
a
heart
attack
while
breeding
a
mare
and
died
in
Bill's
arms.
His
legacy
lives
on
through
Dun
It
Colt
45,
Laredo,
La
Cody
Dun
It,
Dun
It
With
Reiki,
and
Dun
It
Docavanna;
all
of
which
Bill's
owns.
In
Craig
Cameron's
words,
"They
were
unstoppable";
and
on
November
4,
2012,
Dun
It
For
Money
was
the
first
horse
inducted
into
the
EXCA
Horse
Hall
of
Fame
where
he
stands
alone.
