Pictured is San Tan Rafe, a Finalist in the Derby Lane Million owned by Doug Allen and Mountain Kennel. What an accomplishment to make the finals! Congrats to all involved in this dog's stellar beginning of his career. We hope to see him in the Finals of the Sprint Classic at Derby Lane.
Reckless Kelly broke in at Palm Beach like gangbusters winning his first race by 13 and second by 8 lengths running for the Cahill and O'Connor Kennel. Kelly is our hopeful entry for the Palm Beach Grand Classic in May. Go Kelly!!!
TDM Sadie is HUGE with our litter of Loxahatchee Dash pups. This is probably our most anticipated litter of the year. Sadie is due at the end of the month.
Bug Bite has officially retired as a brood and will grace my house as my personal pet. Miz Noble Hart, her dam was one of my best and most loved and I made a promise to myself that I would always keep one of her offspring.
Danica Driver has been moved from the D'Arcy Kennel to the B & J Kennel at Jacksonville. She will run under the watchful eye of Bill Lambert. She regularly wore blinkers in training with Johnny and Derby Lane does not allow them. Thus she was moved. Bill will get her tuned up and running straight in no time!
I want to thank all of you who contributed to Alice Bellisle's funeral expenses. It was a very difficult time for the family and I am so blessed to be able to have gone down to Birmingham to work the kennel for them while they mourned. Alice was a wonderful person. She was one of the kindest hearted people you would ever meet. Her untimely death left me stunned. Although the circumstances were the worst imaginable it was fantastic to one again work with my mentor, Harry Bellisle. I don't think there was anyone else on this planet he wanted working in that kennel more than me and I wouldn't have it any other way! I was honored to be there.
There has been so much fighting and adversity in our industry but I was touched by the way people came together and gave to help the Bellisle Family.
Keep your eyes peeled on Palm Beach...the Ozzie "clone" has arrived and will be breaking in in the next 3 months! Go JUNIOR!!!!!
