MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Merry Christmas to all of you and your familys.
I know that 2009 has been a tough year for most of us but with the birth of our Lord today I'm hoping that 2010 will start to turn around, just as Christmas signifies a new beginning.
I didn't get out any cards this year, sorry.
I normally try but this year was impossible to accomplish it

Many thanks to all of you for your friendship, business, advice and support.
Special thanks, as always, to the Roban girls. I literally couldn't make it without them and their prayers, love and support
It's amazing we've been friends for almost 30 years. It seems like just yesterday Windy was a little bundle

My most sincere wish for peace on earth, goodwill to all of you. God bless!

Racing updates

Mesa Dress Up, Oshkosh Slammer-Dress Up, drove up in the stretch to win her Grade C contest for owner Bruce De Gilio
Her brother, Mesa Dresstokill, owned by Curt Johnson, also recently moved into Grade B at PBKC
Mesa Fig Henry, Flying Stanley son, finished 4th in Grade C at WD
Mesa Canada, Lonesome Cry-Prima Intrepid, another nice pup owned by Bruce, came in 4th in Grade B

Mesa Fig Battle smokes a Grade B field at Wheeling Downs

Mesa Fig Battle, Flying Stanley-Greys Tocomastar, was laying second headed into the strech last night at WD
She put it into another gear, flew down the backstretch and was motoring away at the wire.
Her margin of victory was 4 1/2 lengths and the time was 29.91!!!
I've been offering her for sale for a while. You can buy half interest if you'd like.

want a winner???? buy a Mesa Greyhound

Mesa Billy, Dodgem-Mesa Cyndi, 4th in Grade B
Mesa Dresstokill, Oshkosh Slammer-Dress Up, owned by Curt Johnson, made a great stretch move to win Grade C at Palm Beach. I wonder when Rader is putting this 'Hound into 3/8ths??
Mesa Fig Flyer, our distance boy in the Flying Stanley litter, scored with a second in his first ever Flagler race today. If he hadn't swung outside on one turn he would have won easily

Racing updates

Mesa Alberta, Lonesome Cry-Prima Intrepid, moved from PB to NFM and promptly won a schooler there. Guess she likes the Gulf Coast of Florida
Littermate to Alberta, Mesa Canada, won a Grade C making it a two in a row
Mesa Dress Up, Oshkosh Slammer-Dress Up, made a super nice move in the stretch to claim 3rd in C at Palm Beach
Alberta, Canada and Dress Up all belong to Bruce De Gilio
Mesas Advantage, Lonesome Cry-Dress Up, grabbed a 3rd in Grade B at VL. Frank Bean is the owner
Mesa Harry, Trent Lee-Jr's Sable, owned by Jim Jackson was in for 4th in a TB 660 at SOKC

ok, ok, I'm listening...; updates

So, I've heard from a few of you that the WD dogs are nice but overpriced in this market. Ok, I'm listening
Bottom line is this: if you have an offer to make call me with it. I'll listen to everything this month
Well, maybe except for the guy who wanted to buy either one of them 100% interest for $2500....LOL...him I can't listen to
But I need to sell at least one ASAP so now is your opportunity to own a WD dog who won't be two until March, is healthy and productive, pays large commissions and is in a top kennel.
In the Greyhound business that's as solid a return as you're ever going to get
No emails, phone calls only please

Mesa Fig Flyer, littermate to the two at WD, just schooled a strong second at Flagler. This guy has always been the distance dog in the litter so I'm thrilled that he has early at Flagler and will be running for slots money there
Mesa Fig Eagle, another littermate, will be running his last race at SOKC and then headed for NFM this week
Dp's Blue Moon, from a Mesa brood, was bounced back at the first turn, poured on the gas down the stretch and earned the place finishers check
Two of Bruce De Gilio's dogs won in the last couple of days:
Mesa Gina went box to wire at Palm Beach to move back into top grade and Mesa Canada ran a very nice race, going wire to wire to win D at NFM
Nakishka has been doing extremely well at BM for owner John Lowe. The Coldwater Keelin son has won his SB and SA back to back. Turning into a real nice 'Hound

Half interest in Wheeling dogs; racing updates

You know that I've advertised the Wheeling dogs for sale recently.
And I thank you for your interest. I think the dogs are priced well.
I've been in the biz for almost 30 years and I know what the prices should be even in the condition the sport is in currently
Obviously times are tough and people are nervous so I'm going to offer half interest in the dogs to you
I'm getting a very high percentage from the kennel on everything the WD dogs run out.
So far even with a dozen starts, and them not being 2 years old until next March, they've run out about $2000 commission to ME...MY HALF
Battle just ran 3rd in Grade B today which gives her a record of 12-3-2-2-1....that's 67% in the money
My half interest in her is for sale for $4000. You should get that back well before she turns two years old and then you have the rest of her career for tremendous profit.
Mesa Fig Henry is probably a little faster but runs greener right now. The good news is that both dogs will continue to improve
Everyone knows a Greyhounds best racing time is from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years of age. That's when the serious money is made.
For Henry half interest is $3500. Only because he hasn't hit Grade A yet like she has
Wheeling sends each partner his/her own check. You don't have to wait to get your money from a partner or other interest and your half ownership is always protected
Phone calls ONLY, please.
these two will make the ultimate stocking stuffers, you can buy both for a discount or either one
