Trivia Archive 4

I believe MTC got this one! I can't remember what Kitty Kat looked like....he was the first pony that popped in my mind though when I thought of Steve?? Not sure why I would have thought of him over Little Big Man...that pony did some winning!!! He was good one too!!

I also saw Frank at the Celebration this year. He is always fun to talk to . A very nice person.

Little Big Man & Steve Hawkersmith is CORRECT!

I saw Frank showing, at this years Celebration.

Johnny Midnight & Clinton Gribble

That's Larry E. holding him....

Johnny Midnight with Larry Gribble holding the lead. I didn't know Clinton?? Would the other gentleman be the Mr. Eaton that was a partial owner? Johnny Midnight never quite made it to the WGC; seemed to elude him; but many people felt he was good enough to have won it. He was proving to be an outstanding breeding stallion as well; but he died relatively young so he never had the chance to prove what he could have done as a sire. My mare (Johnny's Rebel Maid) was by him and I sure thought he did a fantastic job there..of course I am a little prejudice when it comes to her!

My dad was a Johnny Midnight fan. He was one of those that thought he should have won the Celebration.

Clinton and Larry were brothers and owned Johnny with Eaton, but supposedly bought him out later on. They were owners of record in 1967, his last "HURRAH" when he tied third in the Stake and fifth in the Stallion class with Mack Motes riding. I forgot Larry's name. Crazy cause that's my first name, but it just didn't sound right when I saw the picture.

Well he was sure one pretty son of a gun, wasn't he?

He really seemed to be a HELLUVA HORSE, but everything just never quite got it all together. Sam Paschal, Elmore Brock and Mack Motes all worked with him as well as Neal Bascaum until he was four years old. A full brother to Sun's Delight D, everyone thought he would make it big as he hit the show ring in '64.

Larry Gribble is correct, but it's not Johnny Midnight!!!

RODGER'S PERFECTION, LARRY and Dr. PORTER RODGERS, Sr & Jr

You got it!

Judy Tillett and Untouchable

And to think I had the chance to buy that heifer before Judy did and turned her down...shows how smart I was.

She was certainly a GREAT mare and was practically untouchable in the ring. She was not defeated many times that is for sure. She and Judy will always be remembered as one of the most successful teams in the business!! What was her breeding??? I remember that they bred her; but don't know if she had a foal or what became of it. Does anyone know anything about any foals?

Untouchable & Judy Tillett is correct, of course. One of the great mares of all time and one of the very best Juvenile World Champions as well.

I remember that my Dad thought she was too much horse for Judy, but that little girl could RIDE!! Was Santana, her horse that died in the barn fire, the only foal from Black Magic Woman? Who was the sire of it? I can't get all that straight in my head either. I know at one time she had Memories of Santana.

OGM, Black Magic Woman produced 3 foals. Besides Black Santana, by Ebony, she produced a colt and a filly by Mountain Man. Don't think either of those made show horses.

Goin once, goin twice.................

Tinsley?
