“ I was a poor man when I bought him and don’t look on myself as much more than that<br />
now. But if it all came down to it, and the only way I could make some money was to sell<br />

“So when we bought <strong>Harlan</strong>, we didn’t know who Dixie Beach was, but when I<br />
got home I did a little research and I made up my mind that <strong>Harlan</strong> might be out<br />
<strong>of</strong> as good a mare as the stud he was sired by.” Bob Robey
