Mo wins second leg of Blue Ribbon tour!

Perry, GA - While publisher Terry Walker was tied up at his booth at the recent Grand American where Ameri can Cooner and Full Cry subscriptions were selling like hotcakes, the Mo dog was in Perry, Georgia positioning himself to win the second hunt on the 2004 PKC Blue Ribbon "Pro" tour. Mo is co-owned by Walker, Mark Cross of Iowa, and handler Ronnie Smith of Illinois.

Mo's win paid $4000 and moved the Walker hound into second place behind John Strickland's Bad Habit who won the December Pro hunt at Greenwood, South Carolina. Habit keeps the lead with $4,133.33 compared to Mo's $4,000 by virtue of his cast win on Friday night at Perry. Mo did not place in the Greenwood hunt. The Perry winner was sired by CH Hard Knockin' Stylish Hayes, Jr. and is out of Redmond's Wild Lady. He also won the National Male race in 2002 when owned by Osborne and Parsley of Ohio.
