prised to find a short article about him and his horse.
There was a good write-up about his new stable and
the shows that he had won. He read it aloud to those
in his office. "Listen to this,” he said. "Middle Ten­
nessee had better take notice of a young trainer by
the name of Lonny Barnes. This newcomer to the
big-time has opened some eyes with his performan­
ces on a bay two-year-old stud, Tiger Bay.” The
article went on to tell about his winning and about
the sale of the colt. "How do you suppose they find
out all the details for these stories?” he wondered.
"I know I never told them all this.”
Everything was progressing smoothly until, one day
in early August, Lonny was busy helping to unload
a truckload of hay and Little Joe came running up,
yelling, "Lonny Barnes, you better come quick. Your
bay colt is down and can’t get up.” Lonny jumped
off the back of the truck and ran to the stall where
the bay colt was. Sure enough, he was down! "Get
up from there, horse,” he said. The colt tried to get
up but could only make a feeble attempt to raise
his head. Lonny knelt down beside him and put his
ear to the horse’s stomach. "Oh, boy . . . just what
we need: a good case of the colic!” Little Joe was
instructed to stay with him as Lonny hurried to the
phone to call the vet. "Is Doctor Pratt in?” he asked.
"Well, where is he? I’ve got a good horse down wi th
what looks like the colic and I need him bad.” Lon­
ny hung up with the knowledge that the vet would
call as soon as he could be reached. About that time
Little Joe yelled, "Lonny, you better do somethin’
quick . . . dis horse is hurtin’ bad!”
