Reports say they have been offered 500k
His full brother (Black Jack Billy) ran fourth in race 2 the same night, about 1.4 seconds slower. Has another brother (unraced) called All To Well.
Definitely something special and a once in a lifetime dog to have. But if someone offered me $500k for a dog I would be offering to drive it to its new home.

half a mill for a dish-licker... :O
i'd have the cheque in the bank before the ink was dry..some people just have too much money.
A lot of money in breeding these days, it wouldn`t be unrealistic to expect a $5000 service fee and the maximum of 14 serves per month.
That`s $840k in the first year in service fees before anyone would know if the pups were any good.

Amazingly paid $3.20 on STAB even though trainer declared it in a radio interview.
Big unit Long Range. Runs like a big puppy.
One track record and off to retirement???? Gee so if the collision puppy we just bought wins his maiden we could send it straight to stud????
How old do they have to be before you can race them???
;)
Only joking everyone...I know it has to be older than 8 weeks, I was just looking for a quick return
=)) =))So that's one start, one win, one million dollars??? $1650 stud fee that's 606 cracks to cover the mill! So we'll be seeing a lot of his blood lines out there.
Rio you will have a great time racing a dog. We've had a couple, the first one was from a litter where a couple of the others cracked the magic $100 000! Ours looked pretty good too till it hurt a knee when bursting to the front at it's first staying start, we ended up with about $8000 haha. Used that money to breed from her but only raced one on from that, it was good watching the other dogs from her go around. The one we kept was ok but very small so not much courage, the boys I was racing with where all expecting a world beater so gradually faded away. I have been involved in racing pacers before and tried to tell them we were very lucky to actually get a winner and something that was more than paying it's way but we ended up getting out of it.
The only real issue I had was little (i.e no) contact from the two trainers we had but all in all it was a great, cheap experience.

Have heard that about some trainers..so will have to wear that if we end up with one like that.
All the crew who are in this one are either in horses from one or both disciplines, so it is a bit of a throw at the stumps and see what happens.. I deliberately selected a dog so we aren't tempted to breed from it - same theory in horses these days - and it is all about a little bit of cheaper fun...40k to get a cheap horse to the track maybe...8k to get a reasonably well bred dog to the same position.. And a win in any of the disciplines is a win to be savoured in my opinion.

Whisper is fertility problems.
Seasonal bitches aren`t allowed to race so no real distractions.
