Hi Everyone and welcome to the February E-Newsletter for the 2010/2011 season.
Hopefully everybody is getting back to some sort of normality after the recent natural disasters that have plagued our state.
At this stage things are still quiet on the sprint racing scene in Queensland . VRQHA has cancelled all but one race meeting for the year, due to the flooding they received. Birchip will be racing on the 26 March 2011 and we wish them all the best for their event.
If you are looking for a quality young horse the for sale section is loaded this month. If you would like to advertise your stud or horses for sale drop me an email. Contact details are below.
The Q Sprint web site is back on track and working properly again so don’t forget to check in regularly for any updates.
Double Dozen was lost recently to the floods of South East Queensland. Our sympathy goes out to Rob McClay and everybody associated with Double Dozen.

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.
If you have a stallion you would like advertised in this spot please contact Jody Murray

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.

Other Horse Related Gear for Sale or Information Wanted
Can anyone help with information on locating either of the following Stallions. They are full brothers so locating either one would be good.
The horses are "Another Deck" Q46801 by 'Deck the Halls" out of "Dancing Moon" the other one is "Bar I" Q35710. I have information that "Another Deck" was owned by Scott A Wilmot , P O Box 2533 Nambour West 4560 but I have not been able to locate this person at this time. The Q.H. stud book has "Bar I" as still being owned by his breeder Mr Kevin Fox ,but as that gentleman passed away several years ago the horse could be anywhere .Any information would be greatly appreciated you can contact me by phone at (07) 49342840 or email at loiskil@westnet.com.au
