Clay Bailey, a lifelong Memphian, has worked as a reporter in the city four decades. He concentrated on suburban coverage for the bulk of his career, except for a stint as sports editor of The Daily Memphian when it launched in September 2018. He now is suburban editor and also serves as a freelance sports writer for The Associated Press.
The Germantown Charity Horse Show is celebrating its 75th year, and it still is worth a night of watching animals and their riders performing on the suburban stage.
