Dreamy Tree - Great win

HF's Dreamy Tree (Craigie Whistler - Dreamy Ocean) ran a great race at Palm Beach today.  We always knew if this big girl got away from some traffic, she could really pour it on.  Well, today she did just that -- and won convincingly!

Elbony Falcao - In season!

Word today from the farm that she is in season today....first day!  We have been waiting quite some time for her to come in (she is a 12 month cycle female).

We have booked her to Gable Dodge (who is currently the #1 sire in America)  and think it will be a fantastic breeding:

Oban Eachann - Brings in 3rd

Oban Eachann ran a great 3rd at Flagler.  We think she is a great dog to finish in the money...she never stops trying!

Elbony Isambard Pups

Found out today that Elbony Isambard's litter out of Spring Garden (Shanless Slippy - Wise Beauty) produced 3 nice males on October 26th.  When I hear more about the pups, I'll be sure to post.

2 More Nice Races

HF's Wild Kitty (Craigie Whistler - Dreamy Ocean) pulled off a real nice win for her at Palm Beach.  This litter struggled to get back in form since the break from the hurricanes.  We are pleased with this result.

Oban Eachann (Craigie Whistler - Dainty Wag) ran a great 2nd tonight at Flagler in Grade A.  She seems to be getting better with age and it's fun to see her pick off the dogs that run in front of her.  She's got some speed!

Dreamy Tree - Finally!

HF's Dreamy Tree (Craigie Whistler - Dreamy Ocean) finally got away and was able to pull of a very nice win!

Laria wins!

We had a pretty good day today.  Oban Laria (Craigie Whistler - Dainty Wag) held off her rivals to win her another Grade A win!

Her record is now:  37 starts - 11 wins, 8 seconds, 6 thirds, and 3 fourths. She is in the money 76% of her racing career!

News from the Farm

Elbony Isambard's first crop of pups are doing well in training.

"Jordan" (Elbony Isambard x Dainty Wag) won impressively at the training track winning by 12 lengths  in 33.31 for her 2nd time around full-distance.  Brad was very happy with how she handled herself.  She took the turns very well and chased hard.

"Lilly" (Elbony Isambard x Move On Bev) ran 3rd in 33.04 to one of the fastest pups on the farm.  This was her 3rd time over the full-distance and was a good peformance.

Thre rest of the Dainty Wag litter is showing well in the field.  All 5 males chase hard and are big, stout boys.

Brad likes his litter out of "Dr Tornado" enough to want to repeat the breeding.  He said all of his pups are bold and nasty.  They are natural-born chasers....
