Pictured is "Lacey" the Fine Silver* x Jr's Prelude (San Tan Jammin x JR's Pastel). Lacey is proudly owned by Linda Russi....who wanted the spotted girl with the most spots!

Hondo Dingle* was officially retired on Sept. 7th. He finished 4th to Holyromanemperor in the Droopys Kewell Diamond stake. He will now commence stud duties. He is being bred in Ireland and will be collected and frozen for future use. We expect him here on our shores by November.

Swahili Eile* will be here next weekend. I will expedite his paperwork with the NGA as quickly as I possibly can to get vials available by October 1st.

Dolly Madison whelped a healthy litter of 8 Lonesome Crys for owner Henry Howe. She had an easy whelp and is a wonderful mom.

Dreamy Blossom won in the first round of the sprint stakes up at Twin Rivers. She hasn't quite hit her break yet but her patented monster rush had her comfortably in the lead at the first bend. Second round is Wed. Sept.12th. GO BLOSSOM!

Our friends at the Cahill and O'Connor kennel have set down their racing muzzles and have turned the kennel over to a new owner. We wish Tim and Cindy a wonderful retirement from the racing kennel and hope that you love life on the farm as much as we do. I am sure we have not heard the last of them as they will continue to raise and race dogs.

I will post pictures of Swahili Eile as soon as I have him in hand. Sean Bourke is graciously accompanying him and Cool Cat* over from Ireland. We look forward to visiting with Sean this weekend.

Also....congrats to our friends The Daltons on Express Ego's fanatastic 3rd place finish in the Irish Derby. It was so close I almost thought he had it. He is a wonderful dog and they can be very proud. He is a great champion in his own right!
