Freespool's got a $100 bid now.

Glad to hear it. That just didn't seem right. Not that $100 for a GSW seems
fair, but......

Look for the ones that have: Hurricane Katrina Stallion Season Auction by
them.

Actually, I think that's not a reliable notation. I do believe these are ALLin
the auction. Some of them were already there and just went with it.

And FWIW, I think Vikki's Louis Arthur has a very nice pedigree - if you've
got a mare that might nick well ...

Thank you, Pat, for the observation. One of Louis Arthur's strongest points is
that his pedigree allows the breeder to bring almost any sire line to him and he
will sex balance it thru his female line and put it on the resulting foal's sire
side - a desirable position. He'll go with just about everything. That's why
we were so excited to get him. The fact that he's beautiful, correct,
intelligent, has a really great disposition and knows he's something above the
ordinary are just additional pluses! <G>

I'll say right now that if there's someone on the fence trying to decide if he's
worth the risk, they should know that even without having seen their foals yet,
everyone who bred to him this year (his first) has already said they will come
back next season. They wouldn't do it if they didn't like what they see.
Therefore, I'll offer the successful bidder on this season a second one free -
either to be used in 2007 for a return or with a second approved mare this year.
Your choice. Considering you might get the season for $100, I don't see how you
can lose and you'll be helping others in the process.

By the way.......there are 1 Days, 10 Hours, 55 Minutes, 3 Seconds remaining as
of 10:05 pm, AZ Time. The auction ends at Noon on the 29th. If you think you
might be interested, but need more info, please contact me at the email on his
auction page. Thanks.

End of Sales Pitch.
Vikki
