Jade Alleway has arrived and we are having a wonderful time. She has gotten to witness an AI breeding of Swahili Eile* to JR's Prelude, the surgical implant of Dolly Madison, sprinted pups, played with young pups, fed the farm etc. Martin Roper came by today to pay her a visit and see how all the pups are progressing.

Jade and I are planning our trip to Florida which will be highlighted by the Derby Lane Sprint Classic. I look forward to see some of my Aussie and Irish friends while there as well! "Dad" Tim Cahill and "Mom" Cindy O'Connor are meeting us at DerbyLane for the evening on March 1st. From Derby we will tour tracks, take in some attractions, see Daytona Bike Week, shop at the St. Augustine Outlet and end our trip with the B&J gang up in Jacksonville! We are looking forward to seeing as many people and greyhounds and tracks as we can in a weeks time!

Congrats to Baby's Got Heart for Brett Gerst and Henry Howe......another win. Block raised, B&J trained! A winning combination!

An oldie but a goodie.....Meet The Creeper is back! Back in Palm Beach but this time with veteran trainer Bernie McClellen and the B&B Kennel. "Cueball" schooled this AM and looked to be back to the "old" Cueball with his dramatic late kick. I love this dog and I hope he can win me a couple more before he hits the couch!

Well Wishes to Jade's dad, Colin, on a very speedy recovery from his auto accident. We are hoping Colin will be out of the hospital by the time Jade returns to England.

Plans are in the works....the English Derby just might be in my immediate future!!!!
