We had a nice visit today by Elizabeth Bryson and her son and the two pictured on the left....Lp's Tiger and her SON, "Junior". They have bonded like no other and it is marvelous to see the two interact. Elizabeth is a regular visitor and was amazed at how big the two Swahili Eile's have gotten!

Packer Backer won his maiden start today for Henry Howe and myself in a mighty speedy puppy time of a 30.97 at Orange Park. Thanks to the entire B&J team for all of their good work with our pups!

Danica Driver ran a nice race for me yesterday. As usual was completely capable of winning it...but chose not to. This time she was handed a "bore in" ticket. Hopefully Bernie will get that out of her before her next start. I am still absolutely certain that she is headed to the breeding barn when done. She is as fast as she wants to be, is a nice 67# female, and is beautifully bred.

Fine Silver's brother, Disguised, has a few pups showing up at the tracks in Ireland. Comeontheblack just won a maiden puppy race at Limerick. This is what I was waiting for and hoping for.....Disguised appears to be throwing pups that come from off the pace in Ireland. Disguised was a top class 525/550 yd. dog in Ireland. Their littersister, Frazzled, was bar none the fastest bitch in Ireland when she was running. Silver was the top class 575 yd. brother. So...as of right now I am very confident Silver will throw strong 550 yd dogs and possibly even some who could go to the backside! This bodes very well for Silver's US stud career.

Red Thunder was bred this week by non other than DQ Williams!!! We received a breeding report in the mail today and I think this speaks volumes as to the depth of this young sire. He will have some extremely nice pups making a showing at the Nationals for Dottie and Tony Morris along with Elizabeth Paquette. We cannot wait to see the debut of Thunder's first offspring!

Bouncing Bucky is literally flying this week. I think it is becoming apparent as breeders do their homework who the best male was in the litter....and the resounding consensus is BUCKY! The breeding community is stepping up and chosing Bucky for their top females. A Keith Dillon bred and raced female was bred to him this week! An AA from Tri-State was bred to him this week! Another AA from Tri-State was bred to him last week! All top class females from top class kennels!

We thank everyone who patronizes our sires. We believe in each and everyone of them!
