Can we add another twist to this discussion? Who was the best horse in the WGC class that DIDN'T win that night in any year?

MR. GLO

Sprcial Sonata and Mrs. Hubbard

D B I agree with you about Bum but I think the year was 72 cause he won in 73.

Yeah, '72. I meant '72.

OHM - me too - I loved me some Mr Glo - what happened to that horse?
When Mr Bud won I think that the crowd was yelling as much for Mr Bud as they were for Rebel. That's the truth about the canter too - everybody was cantering in their seats!
Seems like there are more world champions that I didn't like than ones that I loved - so I won't even get started.

OHM & BDawg,
67 was my first year & I thought Mr Glo & Possum beat G B's Sundust like a drum. But G B's Sundust was to stand at Belfast the next sprang, mebbe I was wrong! I also think that Bud & Flashy, beat Steve & Doc. CA & Mike beat Billy & Bum.

I think Mr. Glo sold sometimes in the early 70s and was passed around and bred a little. I heard Elmore bought him back some years later when he went through a sale.
I had a lite shod mare named Shakin Glo that was by Shaker's Dow Jones and out of a Mr. Glo mare that was a walking hussy and did a lot of winning for me.

Ain't never seen the one on the far left, looks like a yankee skank. I do believe Pam Rollins and Judy Tillett and Patti Reams are in there.

Uh-oh...I'm afraid you're about to get a good ole' fashioned southern :CS:

Hill, Do you mean to imply that I may have erred in my assessment of that suspicious looking young woman on the left? Would you happen to have a clue as to her true identity?

I detect Pam Rollins & Patti Reams. I see a girl that favors Judy Tillet, but am not so sure that its her. I don't remember any of the others. Becareful about the Yankee remarks, Pam Rollins was from Odesa Delaware & we have someone on here from Vermont.

MIB

She looks very much like a young lady that was in attendance at "The House of Vestas" during the same time I was there...you would be entirely wrong if this be the case :scratch:

OR

She also looks like my Best buddy...So whichever it may be' it appears you ARE very wrong in your assessment

Wild shot in the dark,
1. Cissy Best
2. Pam Rollins
3. Judy Tillet
4. Sherri Dietz
5. Patti Reams
6. Patty Dismukes

I think #4 might be Lynn Doughty.

S B, I got nothing against Yankees, have quite a few friends from up north. I assure you the comment was made in jest. :joker:

Bubbadog,

The photo of you and your friends in your youth is a special one.
I'm sure of that and thanks for sharing it with us.
I love the shots that capture the feeling of good times in our lives.

I think Warlock was another of the great ones to come out of Louis Sloan's operation. He was killed in a van wreck outside of Columbia after the Spring Jubilee.
