We hav «; all heard the phrase, " Like father... like son.’’ It simply means that whenever a father is dominant and influential over a son, the son will follow in his footsteps, in the horse business this can be very important, especially when the father( sire in this case) is MIDNIGHT SATAN. The son of which we speak is SATAN’ S SHADOW, a truly fine two-yearold stud colt now being shown by Bud Dunn of Florence, Alabama. SATAN’ S SHADOW has achieved some acclaim in his own right in the scant twro years he has been around. He was bred by Mr. Frank Roper of Winter Garden, Florida and was foaled March 11, 1966. Willard Rambo of Lewisburg, Tennessee showed this beautiful black colt in halter classes through his weanling and yearling years. He reached his peak at halter when he tied Reserve in the Yearling Futurity Championship in 1967. Shortly after this achievement his owner sold him through the Sale of Showring Champions where he brought one of the top prices of the sale. He had attracted the eye of trainer Bud Dunn who, along with Mr. Lloyd Moore, purchased him on the spot. Their ownership was short, however; as SATAN’ S SHADOW soon caught the attention of a lot of prospective buyers who were looking for top stock. Before the day was over Mr. Jack Brewer of
Florence, Alabama and Mr. Herman Keeton of Red Bay, Alabama became his new owners. Needless to
say, part of the sale agreement was that Bud Dunn would keep him for training.
