Pictured to the left is Hondo Dingle*. Dingle came up a head short (literally) of making the final of the prestigious Irish St. Leger. The great champion has nothing more to prove on the track but a St. Leger title would have done nicely on the resume. He may, however, be adding a new racing accomplishment to his resume. That of the American Derby held at Twin Rivers in Rhode Island! All parties involved are giving great thought and consideration to sending him for the big event this coming Fall. He has plenty of time to acclimate and can school over in Ireland on Pat Dalton's fantastic aldritt lure track. This will also give him time to be collected and frozen by Ann Bourke of the Newpark Stud for future use in Ireland and the UK. What a way to complete an already stellar racing career! I have had so many inquires as to when we will have semen available. Please keep in contact. We will do everything humanly possible to fill requests as soon as we are able to collect and freeze him here. Thank you also to Action Shots for their incredible photos of Dingle.

Chris Stivers has already chosen music and is working on Dingle's promotional DVD so everyone can watch and see what sold me on him as a sire for this country.

BIG THANK YOU....to MARTIN ROPER. If it wasn't for Martin Hondo Dingle would not have been brought to my attention. He was instrumental in getting all connections together to make decisions in the best interest of the dog and for his future career and more importantly his care.

Bouncing Bucky was bred to the fine bitch, Greys Outshine last week and currently has Switzler Portia in for Joe and Dianna Douglas.

Fine Silver* had four breedings in the past week including Tri-State standout, Nobody Like Me, Pfanny's CBT Ride, RC Power Abagail and Jr's Prelude for Ron Lies and myself.

Maryville Rumble* continues to be the hottest sire in the country. I am hearing rave reviews from everyone on their Rumble pups. Good luck to everyone!

The Red Thunder pups were moved into long runs in West Palm Beach and Tony Morris is continuing his training routine with these outstanding youngsters. Tony plans on running these fine pups out at the Nationals to show the country why they should include Red Thunder in their breeding program.

We will keep everyone updated as to the most current plans for Hondo Dingle.
