Vcrd Walker recently sent us a note regaiding his
activity and we learned that he has horses with seveia trainers as well as some fine mares at home in Concoi .. California . He commented that Joe Webb showed ns MARK OF PERFECTION at Shreveport . La . and tied reserve in a fine class . He also has PERFECTION S G
LAD at the Joe Webb Stables .
On the west coast . Verd ’ s horses arc in training with J . D . Landers in Sacramento . Speaking of Sacramento , he remarked that our results of the May 14th show in the capital city stated that a horse named WALKER S PER FECTION was tied third in the Pleasure Class . This was NOT his fine stallion as he was not shown there . More on the Fairway Stables later .
Tom Haley Stables
A relatively unknown trainer named Tom Haley is shaking up a lot of people lately with a colt named DELIGHT ’ S MIGHTY MAN . Tom is an amateur but he shows this fancy dark roan like a pro . This colt sold at Harlinsdale for $ 650.00 , and Tom purchased him and took him to Goodlettsville , where he broke and started him in the late fall . So far this year he has done well including tying reserve at the P . T . A . Show in Shelbyville . DELIGHT ’ S MIGHTY MAN is owned jointly by Tom Halcv and Charlie Williamson of Brentwood . He is by SUN ’ S DELIGHT and is out of LADY GALE . Fine breeding to say the least .

Charles Martin Stables in Murfreesboro is in full swing these days . Charlie ’ s busy working horses and Angie
is handling the office affairs , so as usual they have a good team going . The big news at their stables is the fouryear-old mare owned by James Rowland , Fred Jones and Charles Martin , all of Murfreesboro . Her name ROCK- A-BY-LADY and when she enters the ring all the horsemen sit up and take notice .

Some of the other stock that Charles Martin has ready to show are : a three-year-old red bay stallion owned by William Pointer of Townsend , Tennessee ; a two-year-old stallion by EBONY MASTERPIECE owned by one of their regular customers , Mr .
