Hi Everyone and welcome to the May E-Newsletter for the 2010/2011 season.
A big congratulations to Bec and Rick Knudsen and Frank Green with their success with SLR Mojos Workin (Dash Ta Fame x Sparkling Olene) at the Taroom Show earlier this month. It is great to see the sprint horses showing their stuff and doing well in non sprint related events. It really shows the versatility of these great horses.
If you or someone not on the mailing list are showing sprint bred horses in other events lets us know so we can celebrate your successes also. For the Australian sprint racing industry to go forward into the future it is important to create an alternate market for the horses we breed and it is important that we can show the rest of the horse community that our horses are truly versatile and can be used for more than just on the race track.
Due to me over committing myself this last month I am unable to give you the results from the Boulia Dash For Cash. But I will endeavour to share them with you in the next newsletter. Over the next few months leading up to and during the breeding season I would like to showcase studs & stallions. This is a free service to our members and supporters so please hit the reply button on your email and tell the rest of the sprint community what you are up to this breeding season or what services you can offer.
Be as you are.
Do what you love.
Inspire others by example.
~Brian Piergrossi~
Please don’t forget that this newsletter is for you, so if there is anything you would like to share please get in contact with anyone of the committee or with myself. All the contact details are below.
Message From The President
Well things are moving along towards getting the Rules Of Racing finalised. ARQ and Q Sprint are working together and are in discussions on what will benefit all parties in the forming of the rules. We hope to have forms available in the very near future for Trainer, Jockey and Strapper/Stable hands application. As soon as they are finalised they will be posted on the Q. Sprint web site.
All members I am sure send out their best wishes to Ian Rosenow, who recently went under the knife and had a knee replacement, I wish you all the best in your recuperation Ian, and our best wishes go out to Irma, who has to put up with you during this period of being house bound.
I am still writing letters and banging on doors chasing finance but to this date there is not a lot of joy to report on the subject.

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.

Contact Bridget Brandenburg brandenburgclan@hotmail.com

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

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
