Red Thunder is a daddy!!! His first litter by My Lil Mouse was whelped this weekend. He has three HUGE healthy sons weighing in at 1.5# at birth! Proud owners are Dottie and Tony Morris. These babies will be raised by the Morris' down in West Palm Beach! Congrats!!!

Motorhead ran his first maiden start at Derby Lane this afternoon. He got into a bunch of trouble in the first turn and was 6th entering the backstretch. He ended up making a paycheck by finishing 4th. I am happy with his effort. First time in the jinny pit and he showed a lot of heart.

Mad Rush Home for Brett and Robertearlkeen for Doug Allen are due to arrive this afternoon at the Cahill and O'Connor Kennel in Palm Beach. Beau and Belle for Linda Russi will be arriving at PTL Kennel and Cat, Bet and Buddy for Henry Howe will be entering the BJ Kennel all at Jacksonville. Bokars Red Flyer and Danica Driver will both be arriving at the D'Arcy Kennel at St.Pete.

We have purchased the Irish female, Honest Emigrant* and look forward to her arrival this weekend as well. We are looking at breeding her to either Fortress Blue or Fine Silver*.

Dr. Barber will be on vacation February 17-24. Any females that come in season between Feb. 3-12th will be only for fresh AI to studs here on the farm. This is her first vacation in 2 years and she apologizes for the inconvinience. Star and I will still have access to Antech and will still be able to run progesterone tests.

On a sad note Dolly Madison aborted her litter. She is in good health and good spirits and will hopefully have a healthy litter in the future.

Fine Silver*'s first born are expected March 1st. This is a very highly anticipated litter as it will include our Raceforadoption pup to benefit Greyhound Crossroads.

Qualifying races for the DerbyLane Million begin this Sat. Good Luck to hometown Nominators Henry Howe and Doug Allen!
