As the mares we had offered last month are all spoken for — the 1959 colt is all we definitely have for sale now. He is by Lippitt Simeon and out of a beautiful old mare by Sonny Bob This colt is well made, stylish, with a particularly lovely head. With his heritage and own per- sonal good qualities he could make someone a good sire.
