not ,” Celebration Manager Sam Gibbons said Sunday as he left for his home in Athens , Ala .
Taking the championship trophy in this event was the veteran W . T . Baynard of Baton Rouge , La ., who has taken many titles before — a real estate man twice as old as Fred Turner — riding Tombstone . Baynard rides throughout the year in practice , Fred has ridden only since college vacation began — as he is a freshman at the University of Texas . He is the son of Mr . and Mrs . J . Glenn Turner . Young Turner ’ s victories sent Circle T Ranch into first place among all the stables in a boxscore of ribbons won — and a point score based upon performance . Circle T has far more entries than any other stable , bringing 13 horses to the Celebration .

" Yes . I rode Roan Allen F-38 to school many years ago .'’ J . French Brantley of W art race . R . 1 . to ’ d President Arnold llabg of W . IF . K ' m ball Piano Co ., Jasper , Ind ., during a Celebration visit . Brantley enthralled rhe induslralist with his eyewitness account ol the death of Roan Allen — k : lled by his own master — the late Jines R . Bran ’ ley — after the horse suffered a broken leg ichen kicked by another horse at age 22 . Brantley told Habig " neighbors said to shoot the horse but my father said ' nobody can shoot this horse — and nobody can hit him a more loving lick than I can ,’ so Dad put a gunny sack over Roan Allen ’ s head and hit him icith a sledge hammer .” Mrs . Habig and the Ilabig children , Barbara and Doug , are also shown . Habig and associates several years ago bought the 105-year-old Kimball Piano Co ., moved plants from Chicago to Jasper , and located two in Tennessee . Habig , a newcomer to the Tennessee Walking Horse business , is rapidly developing an outstanding stable in Indiana , near the . Tennessee state line .
" I believe I can make a go of the Tennessee Walking Horse business and operate a sizable stable as a business — not as a hobby .” Newspaper Publisher Carmage Walls ( center ) of Lakeside Farms , Guntersville , Ala ., told Celebration Vice- President William L . Parker ( right ) and Celebration Secretary Phil J . Scudder at the Scudder box . Walls is president of Southern Newspapers , Inc ., an organization associated with 18 daily newspapers and semi-weeklies in territory ranging from South Carolina to Texas . Walls started to abandon his Tennessee Walking Horse Stables last December — changed his mind — and now owns 60 horses , including 23 broodmares . His Go Boy ’ s Big Talk placed ninth in the Aged Stallion Class preliminary to the Grand Championship Stake but did not participate in the stake . His Go Boy ’ s Millionaire also showed in the Stallion Class to make Lakeside Farms apparently the only stable with two entries ridden in this event , although o ’ ~ ’ 7 * ad two horses originally entered .
