  • humphrey · Novermber 5, 1985 I had an audience with the then, lead stallion at a little farm in Paris Kentucky and fed peppermints to the best son of BOLD RULER. Even sent Mrs. Tweedy a shot of him cribbing on the fences there at Claiborne........Better than visiting the Pope, the Queen and the President all rolled into one afternoon. · 559 days ago ·
