Super Proud to finish 5th place in Hotspot 3 at the Karoo Million today.

Usually a little on the fast side for our type of bird, but we had one in the leading pack that decided to stay there.

Again from our wonder pairing that is Midlands Dero paired to Hillcrest Gold, already parents to 2 x 2nd ace birds, a 5th ace bird, 2 x 4th place finals etc etc.

Evening All.

We trust all is well and prep for racing is on track.

Over the coming weeks we have to reduce some of our foundation stock due to age and space restrictions.

Now we do not believe in trying to sell old stock. Therefore we will offer a youngster for sale and a parent or both parents will be offered totally free of charge...

I will notify this group of any upcoming auction.

The auctions will be held on Truewinner whatsapp auction group.

I will post a link for the group below
