This great former Amateur Champion proved his ability by staying on the rail and performing all three gaits . Reserve went to THE ENTERTAINER and Joe Webb . Last vear ' s Junior Champion was up to par and was in the battle all the way . Tying third was SENSATIONAL SHADOW and Wallace Brandon .

Billy Rambo did the chores in the irons on LITTLE EVIL and a good job he did , indeed . Tying third was LITTLE BIT O ' TROUBLE and talented little Lissa Walls . Lissa is small in stature but when she is in the saddle she is a tall rider .
