Downthedustyroad's dad stands for a mere $2,500. I know we won't ever compare to Kentucky, Florida or Cali for that matter it's just nice to see my Peep's doing well outside of Hickville. Proper Reality was a Derby contender and was a Arky breed too I think?

You're right, I was having a senior moment. It was Beau's Town. I misspoke.
Bonapaw was a race he ran in I think at Fairgrounds. Race he won at Del Mar I think was named after Bing Crosby? Not sure whether Proper Reality was an Arky bred or not, but I think was owned by some some Hot Springs folks named Wynn?

.....James Winn Jr., former Board of Director and President of the Arkansas-TBHA. He bred raised and stood Proper Reality in Arkansas. He was the Arkansas Derby Winner in 1988. Perhaps his greatest victory came in his 4 year old year against "Seeking The Gold" the previous years Breeders Cup Classic runner up to Alysheba in the Met Mile

BTW...Mr. Winn passed away this past August. He will be missed amongst the industry!
