Ireland was a ton of fun! It was great to see friends both old and new! The highlight of the trip was watching Group Skater win the Examiner 750 at Clonmel. He is a full brother to Group Rooster*. He went trap to line in dominating fashion. I was in the photo with the trophy so I hope to have a copy to post here soon! Skater is a litterbrother to my Group Singer* who has now made her way down to St. Pete and is snuggled in the D'Arcy Kennel at Derby Lane! GO Singer!

DC Brenda Lee (Brett Lee ex Sn Tan Gem) is due to whelp her litter of Fine Silver* pups this coming weekend. She is absolutely enormous with pups. Oooga Chockah is due to whelp her litter of Farloe Black* pups a week from this Friday and is also huge with pups. Jt's Petey Girl is scheduled to be bred to Ardkill Jamie* this week as well!

The litter of Fine Silver pups out of JR's Prelude are now either at tracks or scheduled to leave Joey Lingle's training facility. 4 pups will be at the McMillon and Country Roads kennels at Tri-State in West Virginia and 2 are with the B&J Kennel at Jacksonville. Another Silver pup owned by Rob Cross will also be going to the B&J Kennel.

Maryville Rumble* continues to be the most dominant import stud in America. Kelsos Granola just won THREE AA's in a row at Wheeling! Rumble is currently #8 in sire points for 2009! His breedings have skyrocketed in the past 2 weeks and I can see why. I came home from Ireland to news of pups winning by double digits....including one hot pup at the Gulf who not only won both schools but won it's maiden by 19.5 lengths in a very speedy time!

Best of luck this coming weekend at Shelbourne to Oran Legend who is a "hot" young pup out of Fine Silver's littersister! This is a big puppy stake final and we wish him and all connections a great race!

Our new hauler should be starting next week. He will originate out of Wheeling to Tri-State to us, back to Tri-State and Wheeling every week. As always Don Jairrett can bring your broods up from all points south including all of Florida and Georgia for implants!

Chat is on for Wednesday and Sunday evenings! See you there!
