a top stud owned by Judy and Joe Martin and Buddy
Payne, had also had a good year. SCAT MAN has
been on the verge of increased popularity since his
Celebration victory with Jimmy McFarlin in the sad­
dle and with his first year as a major breeding stal­
lion behind him we should be seeing a lot of top colts
by him shortly. He came into the limelight by being
the sire of SUPER SPORT and has since attracted a
lot ol attention as a breeder.
12th ANNUAL HARLINSDALE SALE SCHEDULED
FOR SEPTEMBER 4-6 DURING CELEBRATION
The well-established and highly regarded Harlins-
dale Sale will be held again this year during the week
of the Celebration. The dates will be September 4-6
at the Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, Tennessee.
This is the 12th Annual Sale of MIDNIGHT SUN
bred yearling colts and fillies and will provide buyers
an opportunity to select from more than 150 top
quality yearlings. Farm manager Harlin Hayes is
expecting one of the top sales in the bright history of
Harlinsdale. He emphasized that 14 of the 19 World
Grand Champions were MIDNIGHT SUN bred horses,
an incredible record.
The Farm is located on U.S. Highway 31 and Inter­
state 65, IS miles south of Nashville. Harlinsdale is
presently standing five sires, including SUN’S DE­
LIGHT. MIDNIGHT BEAU, SPIRIT OF MIDNIGHT
and SUN’S MIDNIGHT DUKE.
This sale is always heavily attended as Celebration
visitors know that they can see top quality stock as
well as some of the best sires in the country at this
beautiful farm.
FAMILY
OF TIGERS ADDS EXTRA INTEREST
TO SALE OF CHAMPIONS
In an unusual bit of promotion, the 1968 Sale of
Showring Champions will have a consignment of truly
top stock featuring TIGER BAY and other horses
from the Harber and Cherry Stables, Centerville,
Tennessee. This consignment is news indeed and we
found no better way to tell the story than to reprint
a letter written by Mr. Dee Kilpatrick of Brentwood,
Tennessee, to the owners of the Sale of Champions.
His letter is as follows:
ci tw ’S ACCENT — Four-year-old black MIDNIGHT
SUN mare in foal to SUN’S DELIGHT.
T?icrht head in seven lots: We plan to have an edi­
torial concerning the sale of the 'TIGERS’ in the July
Ngue of the VOICE magazine. We also plan a full -
* age ad for the August or Celebration issue of the
VOICE publicizing this sale.
We shall probably do a mailing also on this sale.
We will have one or two promotion projects at the
Celebration. Please bear in mind that this is not an
inventory proposition, it is certainly our intent to sell
this stock. They will be in excellent condition.
As indicated above, it is our intent to make this
offering known to Tennessee Walking Horse owners.
We shall aid and abet any way that we can to fur­
ther insure top attendance at your sale, particularly
on this specific day. We would welcome suggestions
from both of you.
Sincerely,
DEE KILPATRICK
Harber and Cherry Stables”
Seldom has such a select group of horses been
consigned by one stable to make available the "best”
to the buying public. In discussing the sale with Bob
Cherry, trainer for Harber and Cherry Stables, he
said "make no mistake about it.....we will sell these
horses at the sale. We will also show both TIGER
BAY and TIGER LILLY in preliminary classes at
the Celebration and will do whatever the new owners
desire in the Two-Year-Old and Three-Year-Old Stake
Classes. It is our opinion that the best policy busi-
nesswise is to keep good stock moving and take what­
ever profit or loss occurs after a specified period of
Ume.”

Not since TRIPLE THREAT went through the Mur­
ray Farm Sale has such an outstanding offer been
made in the sale arena. This should be the big at­
traction of 1968.
