What was the very first horse to grace the cover of Voice Magazine?

Smitty, I just read the question about who raised Gunsmoke's Son. He is the first colt that I remember that my dad raised. I have another trivia question about Gunsmoke's Son. Senator 69 should know the answer to this one. What was Gunsmoke's Son's barn name?

ANSWER: Ebony Masterpiece with Sam Paschal riding

Rhinestone,I can't recall what Buddy and Toby called him because I had a different barn name for him and if Buddy was asking me about him he usually called him by what I called him "Little Man".I should know the answer but I'll have to think on it.Like I said I had my own name for him.He was a very special little horse to me,I fooled with him all the time.Used to get in trouble about it too.LOL.

It was Mr. Moose. I was only about 3 when he was born and I watched Captain Kangaroo all the time. He was a very special horse to me, too. My dad priced him not thinking that he would sell. That is the only time that my dad cried about selling a horse.

Where was Go Boy's Royal Heir's retirement ceremony?

Montgomery, Alabama.

Yep!.........November 16, 1968

What World Grand Champion sold for $250 as a yearling?

Was it The Pusher?

Not sure about the Pusher, but I'm thinking of another WGC....

I think it was the Pusher, too.

Rhinestone,that is right.I remember Mr. Edgar telling us about you and Capt. Kangaroo.He was a cool horse and I loved him.I know your Dad was very sad when he sold him.

Again, the Pusher MIGHT have sold for that amount as a yearling, but there is another............

Was it Midnight Sun? I remember my dad telling me that he could have bought him really cheap.

I think Midnight Sun did sell cheap as a yearling, but the horse I'm thinking of came along much later than that.

Don't think so...............at least that's not the one I'm looking for.

Hint: This WGC was not sired by a WGC...

Motown Magic???

OK, last try, Aces Sensation?

Could be Dark Spirit's Rebel.

Secret Threat didn't sell for much, but I think that it was more than that

I think Talk of the Town sold for around that price, but I'm not sure of what age he was when purchased.

Ace's Sensation is correct. He was purchased by Roy Davis in 1964 for that amount.
His Sire was the little-known Sun's Ace of Spades, standing at Lakeside Farm in Guntersville, Alabama.

I believe Ace's Sensation sold for $250 as a weanling. He was foaled in 64.
