Stasney Buick GMC Championship Challenge Hits Tunica
Wednesday, October 31, 2012
Buddy Stasney Buick-GMC will extend its Championship Challenge to the Tunica Fall Classic to be held November 8-10, 2012 in Tunica, MS. Stasney will pay the first 20 entry fees in the Walking Horse Championship Stake class on Saturday night.
Stasney Buick-GMC issued the same challenge at the North Carolina Fall Championship show in Asheville in October and 17 entries made the gate call in the stake class Saturday night. Stasney is also providing the entry fee for the first 20 entries in the stake class at the East Tennessee Trainers Association Horse Show, scheduled for November 2-3.
The $3000 commitment by Stasney will cover the $150 entry fee for the first 20 entries in the class. The winner of the Tunica Fall Classic championship class will collect $400 in prize money along with a floral horseshoe.
The Tunica Fall Classic is a joint venture of the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, Foundation for the Advancement and Support of the Tennessee Walking Show Horse (FAST) and the Walking Horse Trainers' Association.
