FOUR-YEAR-OLD WALKING GELDINGS

!. y This class had some top entries and the competition brought the crowd to its feet several times. Winning the top spot was Wallace Brandon on GREGG’ S PERFECTION. This fine horse has tied high all year but was at his best in this class. The reserve honors were placed on EBONY’ S OLD CROW and Donald Paschal. This former Two-Year-Old WorldChampion looked real sharp but could not quite upset the bid by Wallace and his horse. Newcomer Bob Cooley and SUN’ S TROUBLE MAKER were the third place choices. Bob and his horses won a number of ribbons at the show and we should be hearing a great deal more about this young trainer in the future.

y / WALKING MARES, FIVE YEARS OLD

Charlie Bobo and GO BOY’ S BLACK ANGEL put on quite a show to sweep all three first place votes and the blue ribbon in this class of top-quality entries. Bobo and his mare were in complete control and many of the ringsiders were of the opinion that this was the best aged mare seen in years. The reserve honors went to TRIPLE TREAT and Lightning Gregory. The judges were unanimous in their first place choice but the cards were far apart the rest of the way. Tying third was SUNBEAM’ S PRODU­ CER and Steve Hill. Steve had his horse working well and stayed right on the rail in good form.
