Herman Ingram has a good two-year-old and his stable ought to be going full tilt with BAY RUM in the Junior classes, DELIGHT’ S BLACK LADY in the Mare classes and TOMMY TELL in good form.
We welcome Kenny Lansaw and Tom Erwin, who are going to be with us at Meadowlake Farm this winter. This just about fills us up and, with Lee Jones and Henry Gabbard, we ought to be able to kick up some dust on the training end this winter.
We extend a warm welcome to the Albert Lee Row lands, who have moved to Ohio and are heading up the Fashion Two Twenty Stables at Aurora. With Red and Albert together, they ought to be hard to beat.
ON THE MASON-DiXON LINE by SALLY SAWYER S. DIXIE HIGHWAY— FRANKLIN, OHIO
The Ohio Valley Walking Association, under the di rection of Ralph Lovett and assisted by the able asso ciation secretary^ Shirley Ashford, has certainly put in a fine first year. There are over seventy members at present, and more interest is being generated all the time. To do such a capable job is no accident, and our hats are off to these hard-working people. The first show, managed by Ralph Lovett, was a huge success. It was held at Burlington, Kentucky. The second show, at Dr. Smith’ s farm at Hamilton, Ohio, waS a real good show with the three-judge system. The Smiths donated their farm and judges Tom Hanawalt, Ulus Allen and Clarence Geeslin donated their time to make it a first-class Walking Horse show. What one judge didn’ t see, another one did, and they surely worked hard tying horses.
The first class started out with seventeen junior hor ses and there were plenty of good horses right up to the Stake, won by Paul " Whitey” Whitehead on DUKE OF RHYTHM. Whitey made a good night on it, win ning the Junior class on MIDNIGHT CHANCE, the Two-Year-Old class on THE DEACON, and the Mare class on RHYTHM’ S HOT PEPPER. He was given a close race by Herman Ingram on DELIGHT’ S BLACK LADY in the Mare class and the Stake. Herman intro duced a new horse to this area- BAY RUM, owned by the Truesdales of Urbana, Ohio.
Helen Cobb carried away the Ladies class on Ralph Lovett’ s QUEEN OF DESTINY. Ralph rode THE REAL McCOY to win the Pleasure class.
Barbie Sawyer and ROYAL SHADOW won the Ama teur class with Tom Bohl on RHYTHM’ S RED FLASH ER right behind her. Georgia Watkins and COMMAND ER won the Costume class, and ALVIN and I won the Junior Exhibitor class.
Jack Gilkey, top trainer for the Good Acres Farm in Athens, Ohio, is reported to be getting better rapidly after an automobile accident, and we hope he will be back chasing those blue ribbons soon.
Joe Little is back in the saddle again and is start ing a new barn. We wish him all the luck in the world and hope he will be bringing out the winners next year. Anyone needing some stock worked can get some help from this stable, especially with the young stock.
