1967-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1967 December Voice | Page 8

horse is the Reserve Champion of the World and a
leading contender for the big World Championship
next year. Not to be outdone, however, Wink Groover,
riding ACE’S SENSATION for Beech and Hale, head­
ed his three-year-old black stud down the rail in a
most impressive display of showmanship to tie Re­
serve. He too is a great horse!
Tying third was DUKE’S HANDY MAN with Her-
shel Talley up. Fourth was GO BOY’S BLACK LA­
BEL, a top mare owned by Sally Hill Farms, ridden
by Donald Paschal. Fifth in this strong class was Al­
bert Rowland on QUARTERBACK SNEAK, another
top contender, owned by Mr. J. B. Sherrill. It was a
great class!
The first night’s performance got under way with
the Two-Year-Old Killy Class and it was Doug Wol-
aver on HANDSHAKER’S LADY KIM, the World
Champion filly, that was again in the spotlight. This
fine black filly was sold during the show to the Lyle
Cashion Company, owners of Cashion Farms, Shel-
byville, Tennessee.
The Two-Year-Old Stud Class saw another popular
Celebration Class Champion come to the front. TIGER
BAY, ridden by Bob Cherry for Kilpatrick, Harber
and Cherry, was outstanding in winning the Blue in
a fine class of two-year-old stallions.
Preach Fleming riding MERRY MARK made his
"mark” on the record books by defeating a fancy
class of Two-Year-Old Geldings. This colt is owned
by Mr. R. D. Keene of Orlando, Florida, and has
great promise for 1968. The Amateur 50 and Over
Class saw the popular team of Gayden Schrock and
PRIDE OF SPRING take the blue in a good class of
experienced and determined riders. Bob Burris put
his years of experience to work to win the Four-Year-
Old Gelding Class of BEL AIRE SECOND SON for
Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Gregory of Nashville.
Ann Daugette, riding the World Champion Junior
Mare ROCK-A-BY LADY, made a great show to take
the blue in the Junior Mare event. This big-time mare
makes a fine combination with Ann and they should
do well next year/ It was Buddy Black riding GO
BOY’S BRENDA LEE, another fine World Champion,
to Victory Lane in the Three-Year-Old Mare Class.
Buddy has carried this mare undefeated for new
owner Bill Grandquest in several late-season shows.
Lloyd Wood, riding his flawless CLOWN’S SPUR, put
on a show to win the blue in the Men’s Amateur
Class. This bay stud and Lloyd are always in conten­
tion every time they enter the ring, and this time
they didn’t let their followers down.
As the Junior Stallions hit the gate it was obvious
that a show was underway. J. E. Renfroe, riding SUN­
UP R, made a great show to tie the blue. This fancy
horse is hard to fault and should make his way to
honor next year as an age horse. SUN’S TROUBLE
MAKER made "trouble” for all contenders in the
Three-Year-Old Gelding Class with Robert Lee Mar­
shall of Brookville, Virginia up. Coming on strong in
the Three-Year-Old Stud Class was Wink Groover
on ACE’S SENSATION. This big-lick stallion has ev­
erything and showed it in this class to take the blue.
The Two-Year-Old Championship Stake saw Bob
Cherry show them another notch on TIGER BAY as
he made a great show of two perfect gaits for a young
horse. Reserve in the Stake was GO BOY’S BLACK
ROOSTER, the World Champion Futurity Colt, with
Donald Paschal up for Capt. and Mrs. E. A. Self of
Mobile, Alabama. Third was HANDSHAKER’S LADY
KIM, with Doug Wolaver up for Forrest Margraves
Union, Kentucky.
s
The Age Mare class was won handily by PrPa-
Fleming on B. MAJOR’S ANNIE, a fine maie owned
by R. D. Keene. The Lady Amateur Class was next
and Mrs. Lyle (Karen) Cashion took a popular blue
on GO BOY’S LADY ANN, a fine black mare that
has had a great season this year. Vic Thompson took
the spotlight with MAGIC KNIGHT, the great aged
gelding owned by L & J Stables, Kansas City, Mo
in the Aged Gelding Class as he won another blue in
fine fashion. The Three-Year-Old Championship Stake
was a good one. ACE’S SENSATION, Wink Groover
up, was again victorious, with a great show of natu-al
ability and determination. Not to be outdone, however
was Mack Motes on the ever-popular SUPER SPORT
who tied Reserve, as he did in the Celebrat;on. Buddy
Kirby was third on GO BOY’S JET STAR for Mc­
Minnville Stables.
It was Candace Williams and GO BOY’S ROYAL
HEIR who captured the crowd in the Owner/ Amateur
Class. Making another great show, this World Champ­
ion team was again victorious in winning the Blue in
a great class. Little Beth Turney of Somerville, Ala­
bama took the Juvenile 12 & Under Class on SPUR’S
MR. GLORY, and Judy Tillett continued her Blue
Ribbon crusade as she rode THE UNTOUCHABLE
to another victory in the Juvenile 13 thru 17 Class.
The Junior Championship - always a thriller at
Montgomery - was again impressive. Again it was
J. W. Renfroe on SUN-UP R that rode to perfection
and tied the blue with a great performance. Reserve
was Hershel Talley on CLOWN’S IMAGE, a big-lick
stud that can really go. Third was JET’S GO BOY
SOUVENIR, with Dudley Sledge up for C. E. Hinson
of Sumter, S. C. The Walking Pony Championship
saw some top action as LITTLE BIT O’ TROUBLE
took the blue with Ray Beech making his final show
on this Champion. He has been sold to Mr. Carmage
Walls of Montgomery, Alabama. Taking a popular
Reserve was SETTING SUN’S APOLLO, with Lynn
Doughty up for Doughty Stables, Mobile, Alabama.
Third was THUNDERBOLT, a fine chestnut sorrel
ridden by Pat Puckett for Dr. and Mrs. R. C. Richard­
son of Albany, Georgia
The Amateur Championship Stake saw a top per­
formance by a lot of fine amateurs. When the dust
cleared, it was GO BOY’S ROYAL HEIR with Can­
dace Williams making her final ride. It has been de­
cided that he will be shown next year by Donald
Paschal and Candace, although reluctant, consented
with tears in her eyes. They have made a great
team. Reserve was HILL’S PERFECTION with Kim
Lovette of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina up. Third
was MESHACK with J. G. Gullett up.
Our congratulations to everyone responsible for
