TENNESSEE
Way Down South
by Janie Bramlett
Hello again from Way Down South. With the arrival
of a new year always comes a question from horse en
thusiasts. “What kind of new show stock will we be see-
this season?” From the reports I’ve received, this year
should prove to be better than ever! The two-year-old
classes should be hotter than ever this season. It seems that
every trainer has at least one colt or filly that they’re es
pecially proud of.
This past week I paid a visit to the Russell Pate Stables
in Rossville. Tennessee. Russell was busy working some
of his fifteen two-year-olds. The Russell Pate-Billy Hale
combination that proved so successful last season may well
be set for a repeat performance this season. Billy has a
real good black EBONY MASTERPIECE stud colt in
training with Russell. This colt is a full brother to
EBONY’S BLACK LADY, and from his looks he could
well prove, to be one of the top colts out this season. Mr.
D. D. Dickey of Covington, Tennessee, also has a fine
two-year-old black EBONY stud with Russell. This colt is
ready for the gates to open, and he’s really going places.
Dr. R. W. Ratton has a fine black MIDNIGHT SUN
filly that has turned out to be Russell’s top filly. There is
little doubt that once again this year Russell will be show
ing some top two-year-old stock.
I was glad to run into an old friend, Mr. F. L. Dun
ham of Ripley, Mississippi, and find out some information
about his show stock for this season. Mr. Dunham was
quite excited about a black two-year-old stud that he and
Mr. Henderson of Blue Mountain, Mississippi own. This
colt is sired by MIDNIGHT SUN out of an old MERRY
BOY mare. With performance to match breeding like
that you can hardly blame him for being excited! Mr.
Dunham also owns the mare, JET’S MODEL MISS, that
Dickie Pate showed so successfully last season. This mare
is now four-years-old and after a well earned winter’s rest,
she is better than ever.
