We installed an air conditioner in her stall that had a door which allowed her to go in and out as she pleased."Knightly Spritely produced her first stakes winner, List At Dawn (by List), for George L. Martin, and the remainder, Hope List (by List), Knight Man and Knight Woman, (both by El Mandingo), and Spritely Walker (by Skywalker) after she was given to Caldwell.
