Louis & ??? (maybe Mr. Charcoal?)


Early photo of Louis on War Paint

Nelson Wilson stood Allen's Black Magic tell he died . He was so beautiful ! Got to sit on him there. Would love to see a photo of him and Winston Wiser. There was a story about him in. The voice...

What other name was Allen's Black Magic known by?

also...

What other very interesting fact stands out concerning Allen's Black Magic's pedigree?

Louis Slone also worked Handshakers Memory. Buddy Hugh got him as a three year old and he won the Three year old stallion class on him at the Celebration that year. Memory was the reserve four year old champion the next year and tied fourth in the big stake in 73.

Allen's Black Magic has no Wilson Allen lines in his pedigree and has a lot of Saddlebred lines up close.
He was a full brother to Blue Namron who was another top horse trained by Winston Wiser.

MIB, you are absolutely correct!

Smitty surely you are not shocked - are you?

Giovanni was the sire of Wisers Demple who was Merry Go Boys DAM. A lot of the old timers said that Midnight Sun put the walk in'um and Merry Go Boy put in the looks. Remember the little claw hammer ears the Go Boy hosses had?

Answer: Wiser's Black Magic

Go Boy's Royal Heir and Ebony's Senator had some of the prettiest ears God ever put on a horse.

#8 Louis Sloan sent over a big broodmare over for Dad to foal out, she had trouble. She about broke Dad's arm when he straighten out the foals leg during a contraction. Out came the biggest colt you ever saw. Knight's Magic. Of course we all were in love and Dad "Jerry Manes bought the colt and started him. Sold him to John Shank, then Sonny Holt had him. Jill Ramsey bought him and did really well.

I'm gonna guess on #10, since I don't know the answer.
Margaret Manes, a DeGraffenreid, ?????, another DeGraffenreid riding The Double Dutch Bus (lol!)
