Jubilee Singles Driving Champion 3 times.

This picture was taken the day before he died.
He really was grand. I met him when he was 3; his owner for his last 30 years, June Strelcheck, was swimming him in the Maquoketa River in a halter. He was a wonderful athlete, with a great mind & a marvelous disposition. I bred to him 7 times, & never got a filly, tho all 3 of my mares had daughters by other sires, so it wasn't their fault. Even when June leased my Tony for 2 foals, both were colts. He just didn't want me to have one of his daughters.
