the Wise Stables since the 1966 season and the com ing year will see the first major crop of colts sired by him in competition. As these two-year-olds hit the showring it will be interesting to see if he can produce more outstanding colts such as TRIPLE THREAT AGAIN, whose dam was bred to TRIPLE THREAT in 1962.
Mr. Koenig and his daughter, Ellen Metzger, have recently placed several outstanding coming-two colts by TRIPLE THREAT in training at some Tennessee stables. As spring comes we should see some of these young horses come to the top as leading contenders.
It is not known at this time whether or not TRIPLE THREAT will return to the Harold Wise Stables to stand the 1969 season. In the past three seasons he has been a popular breeding horse and all indications are that, wherever he stands, there will be a following of TRIPLE THREAT admirers who believe in the " natural lick” and want to pass this quality on to their own colts.
TRIPLE THREAT AGAIN will be an age stallion in 1969 and after a few months in Florida he will be ready to hit the showring again. We do not know who will be training him for competition next season but he will be a contender. More about this later.
JOHN T. CARTER STABLES
Now that show season is over, most trainers have had time to evaluate the calibre of stock that they are starting for two-year-old competition next year. John T. Carter tells us that he has three prospects that are about as good as any that he has ever " throwed a laig over.” Particularly outstanding is a big black colt by MIDNIGHT BEAU that was started by Steve Hankins up in Tazewell, Virginia. Named BEAU’ S BIG TALK, he has all the prospects of be coming a real " big-time” horse. Another fine young horse is SOUTHERN SUN, a black colt by SUN’ S DE LIGHT out of a HANDSHAKER mare. He is coming along very well with a late start. BAY DELIGHT, a natural-going young stud by SUN’ S DELIGHT, is the talk of the Fray Escues these days. Fray usually has " the pick of the litter” and he sure does like this colt. The MIDNIGHT BEAU colt looks like a " syndicate” horse with Piercy, Waggoner, The Terry Brothers and H. B. Hauk all on his papers as owners. We will check in the spring and see what this " stock” is worth. A lot, I’ ll bet!

DOUG WOLAVER STABLES |

The " quiet man” from Cornersville, Tennessee tells us that there has been some big business over his way. We hear that the fine three-year-old stallion that Doug showed this year was recently sold to Dr. C. L. Sexton and has been moved to Donald Paschal’ s. Named HANDSHAKER’ S DELIGHT, this horse at tracted a lot of attention in the early part of the year when Mr. Louis Sloan showed him in Searcy, Arkansas for Clyde Frey of Crocker, Missouri. We talked to both owner and trainer that night about the prospects of the horse and, the next thing we knew, he was at Doug Wolaver’ s. He was later sold to Mr. Frank Par nell of Newbern, Tennessee. He tied fifth in the Class and third in the Stake at the Celebration under the ownership of Mr. Brad Speight of Jackson, Tennessee, who reportedly sold him to Mr. Parnell. |
