R. C.Wood Sells
Race Horse To
Plainview Fan
A quarterhorse that hadn't
proved of much value for any-
thing else finally found its right
place recently and became a
race horse. So reports R. C. Wood,
rancher and horse breeder, who
sold the horse two weeks ago for
$1,250.00. . u
Jess Shurbet was the horse's
name, named after the man
from whom he was purchased by
Mr. Wood as a two year old. Mr.
Shurbet lives at Floydada.
Last March Mr. Wood and Wii-
lard DaVls decided that the
horse might be able to run, so
they took him to the north side
of Mr. Wood's ranch and tried
hirft ouCHe.clocked good speed,
so Mr. Wood took him both to
Lubbock and Plainview for pri-
vate races. Jess Shurbet won
them all. •- " " •
Finally Mr. Wood took the
horse to Ruidosa, N. Mex., about
a month ago, and Jess Shurbet
romped off with his first race In
the unofficial record class. This
IncludetUhorses that hadn't won
this yearSifrhat was. on Aug. 8.
On August 15, Jess Shurbet
won again, this time in a better
class. On Sunday, Aug. 22, the
horse was placed in a claiming
race, which he also won. Mrs.
Cora Posser of Plainview bought
him for SI,250. The two.year qjd
colt had cost Mr. Wood $400.. He
won purses of about $400 in
each of his races.
Mrs. Posser plans to race the
horse at Ruidosa until the close
ot the season, then take him on
to California.
