class. Immediately after this victory Jimmy Holloway took over and began to groom the horse for saddle
class competition for 1965.
Needless to say, Jimmy Holloway has always held this particular colt in high regard. He has never really pushed this horse and didn’ t carry him too fast as a two-year-old. He won his share of top honors his first year under saddle and was successful in making it " three in a row” at the Breeders’ Association Futurity by winning the Two-Year-Old Championship in 1965 with Jimmy Holloway in the saddle.
GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT has been shown consistently throughout his career. Jimmy, although located in the " Deep South,” has made every7 effort to show his horse in as many different areas as possible. He has been shown against the best competition in the country and over the past three years has managed to keep himself up at the top as a contender every time he enters the showring.
The string of victories that GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT has hung up in the past three years is impressive. In addition to being tied high at the Celebration as a two-year-old and a three-year-old, this fine black stallion also made himself known this year as a Junior horse. He will be shown two or three more times this year to complete his competition in Junior classes. Jimmy plans to take him to Montgomery and Baton Rouge and then let him rest until the first of the year.
Now, then... what about the future? This is the big question! In a recent conversation with Jimmy Holloway about this horse, we learned that he has very definite plans for the future. Next year, GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT will be a five-year-old. He will be competing with Age Horses for the first time in his career and there is a big jump between limited age competition and open competition. Most people don’ t realize it, but this is like comparing a top college football player with a top professional. It takes time and experience to compete with them. Can GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT go with age horses? We think so, and so does Jimmy Holloway.
He describes his horse as being in the best condition of his life. He also says his horse is still growing and should approach his peak of maturity next year. As a show horse GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT at times has shown " flashes of greatness.” It is this that has developed a mass of supporters who think that next year this horse will develop into one of the real top contenders for Championship honors. If everything goes as Mr. Holloway plans, he is going to take aim at the World’ s Championship crown, riding GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT for Mr. C. D. Maddox. It is interesting to note that the large percentage of horses that have won the World Grand Championship have been in the category of GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT. They have made their way through the ranks as young horses and have been consistent in tying high in almost every class. On reaching maturity they develop their full potential and come on strong as age horses. A lot of people believe that GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT can be the next horse to " wear the roses.”
GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT is by MERRY GO BOY and is out of NAMRON’ S LADY. The dam side of his breeding shows excellent blood that is a good cross of BARON NAMRON and ROAN ALLEN F-38. He is
6 a big horse, standing almost 16 hands, and is black with two hind socks. His breeding shows up well in his conformation and natural ability. Next year we will see a brand-new group of horses taking a shot at top honors and out front should be a horse named GO BOY’ S BIG SHOT with Jimmy Holloway up.
WE HOPED NOBODY WOULD NOTICE...
. but of course you did, and you wondered and y0u asked us about it. Here’ s the story on the September
issue. We took a lot of time with the Celebration issue trying to get all the results right, all the pictures in place, all the credits where deserved. This extra care, plus some extra colors on the cover and elsewhere *
made us a bit late with this issue. As we prepared to mail the magazine it was noted that the date was wrong on the cover.
To correct this error would have taken nearly a week, as it would have necessitated re-printing the four-color cover. We unanimously decided to let it go and explain it this month.
We appreciate your interest, which was evidenced by your inquiries. We hope you understand why it was impossible to answer you individually.
It’ s not every year you can have two different October issues of the same magazine!
