Hi Everyone and welcome to the June E-Newsletter for the 2010/2011 season.
Well hasn’t June been a very interesting month. Between live export bans, which in some way effects every Australian in one way or another, to the recent outbreaks of the Hendra Virus. This is something that we all as horse people need to be very vigilant about. Below I have included links to information on the Hendra Virus.
The results of the Boulia Min Min Store Dash for Cash is below. Western Queensland is really embracing time trial racing as the powers that be in the thoroughbred industry make life interesting for the small clubs that love racing and use these race meetings as their main community fundraising events and a way to bring communities together. As time trial and bush racing grows this is a wonderful way to get the sprint horses we are breeding out and onto tracks. If you are able to support these events in any way by either taking a horse or as a sponsor it will show the horse industry we are serious about our horses and why we are breeding them.
Greg has been busy putting proposals together for potential supporters for Q Sprint and also meeting with representatives of Queensland Racing. At this stage it may feel like professional sprint racing may still be a long way off, but every day is another day closer to sprint horses racing on tracks. It is up to us as individuals to get behind each other and support all facets of our sport and show that we are unified in our goal to race our horses. So if you are a breeder why not let us know and add your stud and web site to our list below.
Breeding season is fast approaching. This year we will again showcase your foals. So why not send in photos of your foals as they are born with a few details of their breeding. This year I would like to include advertorials of your studs. This is free to all who breed sprint bred horses. If you would like to take up this offer please email scottandjody@reachnet.com.au with either your own words and pictures or your contact details and I can call you and write an advertorial for you.
Attached is a stallion tender run by the CQTBA for those interested in putting mares to thoroughbred stallions. Please pass it on to anyone you think may be interested. Or contact Email: sales@cqtba.com

Min Min Store $2000 Dash for Cash
2011 Boulia hosted a 200mt Dash for Cash sprint for horses. It was run in conjunction with Boulia Easter Races, Campdraft & Gymkhana. The Dash for Cash 200mt sprint was held after the last race on the Saturday afternoon, in twilight hour.
The local store, Min Min Store owned by Bob and Val Spilsbury were very keen to sponsor the event. With the winning horse receiving $2,000 in cash.
Each horse sprinted over the distance of 200 metres individually, and were electronically timed. Electronic timers and overhead screen where especially purchased for this event. As each horse raced over the 200mt’s the crowd could see the time displayed on the overhead screen as the horse galloped. To be eligible to race horses are to be unregistered with any racing association and ridden in a stock saddle. Riders are to be over 18 and wear helmets and vests.
With 10 horses nominated for the first ever Min Min Store Dash for Cash the eventual winner was Katrina Rutherford from Cloncurry, riding her own horse Credit with a winning time of 11.666, 2nd place went to Wendy Christie’s horse Harry, ridden by Sandra Hagan with a time of 12.028 and third place also went to Wendy Christie’s other horse, Mischef also ridden by Sandra Hagan, time of 12.118.
The Min Min Store Dash for Cash will become an annual event over Boulia’s Easter weekend of horse events.

Merrie Elliot from South Australia is standing
This chestnut horse is Tamale
He is a straight bred running horse.
He is by Ole Sugar Daddy. Ole Sugar Daddy was by Warning Flag AA (The Ole Man AAAT x Femme Fatale AAA) and out of a Thoroughbred mare Junior Queen who was by Star Kingdom.
Tamale is out of Speed Queen (Jet Master x Campus Blair AA imp).
He has excessive speed (not proven in any official capacity of course), an extraordinary disposition and plenty of commonsense.
Tamale is a 3/4 brother to Little Joe Cool who carried Jane Willoughby to her APRA Junior Barrel Racing title several years ago. He is also a half brother to Ruth Bergs great Barrel horse Dillon who amassed over 300 AQHA Barrel Racing points quite a number of years ago.
We also have Winning Deck. He is by Deck the Halls and out of Bolette and his breeding would be familiar to most Queenslanders.
Winning Deck carries most of the influential blood that has gone into creating the modern Quarter running horse in the USA. He is fast, hones in on a cow, has a great disposition, plenty of commonsense and is built to hold a lot of weight on a rope.
He is the first outside stallion that we brought into this herd since 1978 and we could not have got a better one had we scoured the country.
The third stallion is a beaut old thoroughbred, Mr Fitzjester. He is a son of Rorys Jester and out of the metropolitan winning Mrs Fitzherbert.
He was bought off the track as a 3 year old on behalf of clients in the Kimberley. They did not take him due to him being 15 hands. We kept him because by then had discovered that he could really handle himself and had a natural stop and an ability to concentrate on a cow.
He is also no trouble to have around - minds his own business and says nothing. He has not been used heavily but has produced Miss Goodspeed - winner of the last Australian Derby. Also got Running Cat (runner up in the previous years Derby) and has an A grade polo horse and several all round great using horses. He has recently returned home after several years in the Broken Hill area.

Merrie Elliott has for sale 6 Running bred yearling colts
Chestnut colt by Tamale from Barrique TB (she is by Snippetts from a Without Fear mare and from a Wilkes mare. Something seriously wrong with our breeding program if this colt is not a fast one!
Palomino colt by Tamale and from Freckles Easy Warning (she carries the blood of Jet Master, Giant Pass, Jet on Sam and Warning Flag). This is a big, ground covering colt. As a foal he had a head that Barry reckoned "only a cowboy could love' but it now fits him a whole lot better. A cowboy would still love him for his speed, strength and commonsense.
Bay colt by Tamale and from Cat Dancin Woman (this mare, by Go Far Bar Bob AAAT is the last daughter of Femme Fatale. She would have to be one of the top time event producers in this country). We probably should retain this quality colt because within his cacky bay hide he contains the blood of the most influential horses that have gone into the creation of this unique herd for more than 40 years - Go Far Bar Bob, Jet Master, Warning Flag, Ole Sugar Daddy and the mighty mares Femme Fatale and Campus Blair. He might not be on the market but we will include him here.
Chestnut colt by Tamale and from a Mr Fitzjester mare. Big, fast and looks like a heading horse already. I don't think the AQHA will register this fellow because his mother never met some deadline.
Black colt (sort of black) by Boolarra Bullrush (we borrowed this running bred grandson of Cassius Deck to fill in while Winning Deck was in Queensland for a season). This colt is out of an Ole Sugar Daddy mare who is out of the great producer Cat Dancin Woman. This fellow is fast and very nimble footed - a bit lighter in construction than the others.
Bay colt by Bullrush and out of Tappie Rae, a daughter of Great Stuff (Jet Master x Femme Fatale). Tappie is out of a Jet Master mare. This colt is of smaller stature but strong and quick. We look at him and think "time event" or "mounted games"
We also have 5 yearling fillies and a couple of other folk for sale but have run out of time to list them right at the moment as well as Texas Longhorn cows in calf.
For further info contact Barry & Merrie Elliott bje@aussiebroadband.com.au
