faster and higher and higher around the ring.
THE FLYING DOLLAR, winner at the San Francisco Cow Palace last fall, was edged out by MR. EXECUTIVE, a flashy chestnut. The two will meet in competition again tonight.” When the show was over we heard some of the following comments as the audience dispersed,“ Those Walkers, did you ever see anything like that!” We’ ve got to get in somehow tomorrow night just to see those Walkers!”“ Those Walkers, aren’ t they Something!”“ Daddy, I wanna Walker!”
Saturday night, an overflow crowd saw a real contest in the Walking Horse stake class. From the moment they hit the ring, MR EXECUTIVE. THE FLYING DOL LAR, and JOE’ S LIL QUEEN made it apparent they were reachin,’ noddin,' rockin’, for one thing— that first place ribbon. It was a beautiful class of 8 top horses. Again, MR. EXECUTIVE, a beautiful horse who performed with great speed in his big walk, but maintained perfect form in all three gaits, came out with the blue. THE FLYING DOLLAR, a shiny black, took the crowds’ fancy, and did they“ root”! And, it was close! With JOE’ S LIL QUEEN performing her heart out and giving those boys a real scare and SQAWMAN’ S LANCER and GOLDEN SUN’ S TROUBLE right in there too. One thing is sure, there’ ll be no difficulty getting Walking Horse classes in the show next year. They won the hearts of the crowd, and the crowd showed it.
One thing speaks well for the show. The day after the show, plans are in the making for improvements“ next year.” The management and all committees are actually asking for criticism, constructive criticism, with the goal in mind of making this show one of the outstanding ones in the country. And, that’ s the spirit it takes to do it. More power to them!
