(all of our NEW members are encouraged to take a shot at this one....)

I'm going to let this one run a little longer..........and add a few horses along the way.......

Let's add..........................Mr. Charcoal to the list....







Magic Marker............do YOU know the answer to this one???? Please tell us, if you do........I think we're stumped again (?)

uh

That is correct. Not sure how you knew that since he wasn't born till around.....................

Oh, nevermind.

Like, I don't know any horse trivia....do any of you people???
Hey, I got an idea


Floyd, you seem to know quite a bit. Why don't you ask the folks some trivia questions, huh?

oh jeez!........I wouldn't have a frickin clue man!
Maybe some of our guests might know and want to answer that one?

Hey, Floyd..........you wanna White Russian????

Strollin Jim ridden by our resident ghost Floyd

yes

Hey YALL GUESTS can ask our expert panel & Floyd some trivia questions if ya want!
Go right ahead!

In the 1980's, this horse set a new record for the number of wins by a horse at the Celebration.
Who was the horse?

If I remember correctly, Mr. Delight came into the 80's with the most Celebration wins. This record was later broken by Gen's Fire & Ice but this may not have happened until the early 90's.
The 80's are quite hazy for me

uh.......me too curbchain kinda glad they're over, but it was a time of GREAT HORSES and one of them was......

Mr. Delight H. !!!

You are correct

Let's give somebody else a shot at one of these:

Also in the 80's, this horse set a new record for the number of WGC titles to be won by a mare.
Who was she?

OK.......somebody answer this one. It's TOO EASY!!!

Ebony Go Boy's Dream

Hey, that's my FAVORITE mare of ALL TIME! Loved her and got to see her a lot when she was 3 and 4 here in Ky.


.......but that's INCORRECT according to "VOICE" Magazine!!!


try again......

Well...I worked for the "Voice" during those years and should remember...what I do remember is doing ALOT of win ads for that great bay mare...and if she isn't, then she's close to being the leader. EGBD was just wicked good, and one of the few totally great horses that I don't remember ever seeing a bad show from.

Maybe Elegance is the answer to your question?

DD

No, the answer is: Ebony's Dixie Belle
Just saw that yesterday in a late 80's issue.

She was a walking little fool too.

Another awesome mare! Wow...We really didn't know what we had in the 80's just with those three mares alone. That's what made coming to the Celebration so special.

DD,

My memories are much more "faded" than yours, having been out for so long, but I do relish those days. They were AMONG the best of my life in many ways (and in some ways not.........!!)

You know MUCH more than I..........I'm just the gatekeeper here and a decent researcher.



Hey.........did you know I came down to see you at RUPP ARENA a couple of months ago???
I talked to Sara Gee. You were out at the Horse Park watching Dressage.

???

Smitty...I did not know that I missed you at WEG...sooo sorry. I would have loved to catch up with you.

The Dressage at WEG was just incredible! It's just almost unbelievable how far the horses in that sport have come. It was a treat to see that black horse that won it all, but there were many great ones there. I also attended the reining events which were spectacular.

Well, let's get through the holidays and plan to catch up sometime.

So sorry I missed you in Lexington.

DD

Thanks for stopping in! We'll chat later. Thanks for your support.

sniff.........it's just like old home day!

Awwww....Smitty, don't cry (here's a hanky )...you should be happy!
