Does anyone remember who trained horses for this automobile dealer?

Blogsters,
Hint, The dealer owned Lockes Cotton Ginner. The trainer showed him. The trainer started out a long horn, then became a Hoosier & then a vol, now who was he?

Blogsters,
I think the Jockey on Just Starting ended up as "FROG" for a nickname, He told Me that He started out on that place. Can Yall give a guess on Who it might have been. He's still alive.

Is it the one & only Mr. Frank White...he worked for Percy Moss years ago but is in the northwest doing quite well in the WH business the last I heard from him.

Sensation61,
I'm thinking it could have been Frank & will try to confirm it at the Celebration.

Frank doesn't like to be called "Frog". He told me that he left that name in Arkansas.

Deltaboy,
Frank essentially told Russell Pate the same thing.

Ramsey said Franks usually at the Celebration, but he hasen't seen him in a couple of yrs now. Not sure if he's been there and Ramsey just didn't see him or what. I was thinking Frank moved from Oregon to Montana.

CB,
The Pickin Parlor in Wartrace is history, but Raymond Pimentel said a new one off the square in Shebvul will be opening this fall.

CB · Posts: 280 Join date: 2008-07-30

SB, I thought it was still there. We don't get out much.LOL
Do you know where off the square it will be located?

I want you to stop by the Celebration barn if you have a chance( barn 14).
