1964-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1964 August Voice | Page 64

ville is named in memory of the
famous country music singer whom
we all remember. The big hoss is
living up to his namesakes reputa­
tion for greatness and has won a
total of eight or nine blues this
year. He is a black . . . black stal­
lion and should prove to be a
worthy contender for the blue.
Dickie will also ride a top mare in
the age mare class. Owned by the
Double J Farms of Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania, this mare has been
with Dickie for only thirty days
but has been shown three times to
win three blues. We can look for­
ward to again seeing Linda Robin­
son riding her famous GO BOY’S
CHALLENGER in the big ring.
Linda, who is from West Point,
Mississippi, has shown “Challen­
ger” to nine blues this year. She
was a Mid-South Horse Show As­
sociation winner last year and will
probably make a strong bid for top
honors in her class again this year.
In the Two Year old class we will
see Dickie up on GO BOY’S DES­
TINY, a black stallion owned by
the Circle R Stables that is getting
better every time he enters the
ring. Watch for Dickie Pate boys!
He could pull some surprises in
several classes.

DOUGLAS WOLAVER STABLES
Celebration bound . . . and again
with a top stable of horses is the
popular Douglas Wolaver. This
young trainer, winner of the big
stake in 1960 on MACK K’S
HANDSHAKER, will have several
top horses in the big show this
year. Doug, who is famous for his
ability to come up with a winner,
almost as if he “pulled ’em out of
a hat”, will aim at the big one with
COTTON QUEENS GO BOY, the
1962 World Champion Two Year
Old C.Q. GO BOY is owned by Bob
Quinn of Savannah, Tennessee and
is typical of the “Wolaver” stock. I
hear that this horse is getting bet­
ter with age and is hitting a bigger
lick than ever. Doug will also make
a strong bid for the blue in the
Junior Stake on his 1963 World
Champion Two Year Old, GO
BOY’S STARFIRE. He has won
three blues on this horse so far
this year and observers say that he
will be in there without a doubt.
In the two year old classes, we will
see the Wolaver Stables represent­
ed on HANDSHAKERS KAY, a
terrific black filly and HAND­
SHAKERS COPY, a big-going stud
that recently made his first show
and won the respect of several who
have been showing all year.
ROYAL OAK FARM
Lee Anderson, trainer for Royal
Oak Farms of Tullahoma, Tennes­
see, ably assisted by his young son
Kenneth, has his work cut out for
him over the next few months. We
hear that a new stable is in the
plans here and that several top
horses are being eyed by backers
of Royal Oaks. At the Celebration
we will see several juvenile and
amateur exhibitors working out of
this stable. Among them are: Steve
Hawkersmith, who will ride LIT­
TLE SURPRISE for Raines and
Hawkersmith of Tullahoma and
Kenneth Anderson, who will ride
JAKE’S GLAMOUR BOY for
Jones and Anderson. Kenneth will
also show TOMBSTONE JR. for
Dr. James M. King and Sally King
will exhibit her two mares named
SHADOW’S SUN GODDESS and
PATCH OF GLORY in two classes.
At present, Lee Anderson is riding
6 two year old colts in addition to
working the many amateur horses
in the Royal Oak Farm Stable.
CHARLIE MARTIN STABLES
As usual, we can depend on
Charlie Martin to unload some
mighty good horses at the Shelby-
ville Classic. Charlie will hit the
