Two words.....Maryville Rumble*. Rumble's coming out party happened at the Fall Meet and it was a big party! His pups were incredible. They were headlined by the incredible SR Boogieman. He won the first day by a whopping 21 lengths and captured the attention of the biggest buyers out there. Doug Riches made the decision to hang on to his budding racer and lease him to the D'Arcy Kennel of St. Petersburg, FL. Boogieman is pictured on the right.

Although Rumble was the talk of Abilene, Fine Silver* quietly had a pup by the name of Pfannys Kid Crae run. Kid Crae is a wee 14 mo. old brindle male. He ran 3rd the first day. I know....so what, right? Well the story got around...this pup had gotten loose BEFORE his race and ran a total of 2 laps 'round the perimeter of the race track and then went to the box to RACE! He caught the attention of finishing trainers and was actually purchased by one and I think maybe making a repeat performance at the Spring Meet. I was so impressed with this pup. I also saw Cary Tamarius out at the Meet and he was beaming with pride over his Silver pups in training with Johnny Culbreath. We wish him and Johnny much luck with their Silver babies as well. Silver is off to a very promising start. It was so neat to see Silver brought into this country and watch his very first pup run live. I was actually a little emotional over it.

We purchased some very fine broods for our good friends at Champions Racing Team, Inc. I want to thank Lance Berland for the great purchases we made as well as Wayne Strong.

Wheeliecool is in season and should be bred to Group Rooster* this week. Roger Knauff brought down one of his good broods this AM and she will also be going to the Rooster. Jr's Prelude is huge with Rooster pups and isn't due until mid November!

It was nice seeing old and new friends at the Meet. The sale surprisingly hit a million dollars. It will be interesting to see who the big buyers were.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
