SUN GLQ’S DIAMOND B.
MOSE OPPENHEtMER, UP
It was in the spring of 1966 that a rangy sorrel
three-year-old stud was run through the Murray
Farm Sale.
His owner, Mr. Clyde Roberson of
Clarksville, Tennessee, had always thought he would
make a fine show horse and his trainer, Neil Clark,
had started him slowly and carefully with the knowl­
edge that he was headed for the sale. Mr. Roberson
had bred a fine old MERRY BOY mare to MID­
NIGHT SUN GLO 0, a black stallion owned at
the time by Elmore Brock of Sparta, Tennessee (he
is now standing at Stallion Stables in Shelbyville,
Tennessee) and the result of the cross was this
sorrel stud which he named SUN GLO’S DIAMOND
B.; a diamond in the rough, or so he thought.
