A definite increase in interest in Shadow-Piddley
bloodlines was indicated by the 2nd Annual Sale of
Colts by these two famous sires. Starting the Cele­
bration week off right, this sale packed them in on
Monday, August 30. The entire Geld just east of the
big tent was Glled with sellers, buyers and on-lookers,
and a capacity crowd was on hand when Auctioneer
EDDIE BRYANT called for the first horse around
9 AM.
As usual, this sale concentrated on quality, not
quantity, and a total of fifty-three select Walking
Horses were privileged to travel through the sale
for prospective buyers. As could be expected, the
bidding got off to a slow start in this first sale as
those who "came to buy” were prompted by the
auctioneer and his ground men. Mr. JOE OGLESBY,
well-known Middle Tennessee horse enthusiast and
experience ground man for many sales, said, "If we
can just get them started, we wall have a good sale.”
Well, this soon took place, and the bidding became
more active in a short time.
There were many top colts to travel through and a
note of optimism was reflected in the number of "no
sales” registered. It is a known fact that those people
owning top Shadow or Piddley colts value them highly
as the reputation and name of these famous sires
become more and more prominent. Managers H. C.
BAILEY and JACK MONTGOMERY were obviously
pleased with the day’s results and the turnout for
this first-of-the-week sale of their colts. The Bailey-
Montgomery Stables, home of Go Boy’s Shadow and
Piddley, will definitely feel the long-term results of
this 2nd Annual Sale throughout the year. There
are still a good number of outstanding colts for sale
by these two sires and if you are looking for a good
filly or stud prospect with good blood, contact the
Bailey-Montgomery Stables, Shelbyville. They will be
glad to assist you in finding a top colt.
