WHEREAS, Clarence and Dorothy Scharbauer of Pilot Point have
enjoyed notable success with two of their stallions, which have
topped the Texas Thoroughbred Association's 2004 list of leading
Thoroughbred sires in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Magic Cat, the leading freshman sire, and Gold
Regent, the leading second-crop sire, have produced offspring that
have earned an extraordinary total of nearly $1 million in
competition awards; and
WHEREAS, The Scharbauers have raised these fine steeds at
Valor Farm, a nearly 400-acre facility where, for decades, the
couple have nurtured a love of horse breeding and racing; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Scharbauer's father, Fred Turner, Jr., first
inspired the family's interest when he won the Kentucky Derby in
1959; his daughter carried on the tradition, racing Alysheba, a
hall of fame race horse who at the time of his retirement was the
leading money earner in the history of the sport; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Sharbauer is a former president of the American
Quarter Horse Association and a member of that breed's hall of fame;
and
WHEREAS, Clarence and Dorothy Scharbauer can be justly proud
of the outstanding record they have compiled with these exceptional
stallions, and it is indeed a pleasure to honor them at this time;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Clarence and Dorothy Scharbauer on
producing two of the leading Texas stallions of 2004 and extend to
them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Scharbauer as an expression of high regard
by the Texas House of Representatives.
