A few of you guys who have your dogs campaigned by Dennis Brath know the drill. If your dog places, you receive a telephone call. So Dennis called Saturday night and sure enough Belle had placed fourth in the OLGD (22 entrant stake) at the Gateway Trial held at Pinkneyville, Il. Dave Quindt's Tex was second. Then, he called again Sunday

to let me know that Belle had won the OGD (22 entrant stake) apparently just nipping Clarke Linn's Bikini at the wire. So here's a shout out to Clarke
Belle's full name is Tejas Bandit's Southern Belle (sire Caden's Bandit), the fruit didn't fall far from the tree as Dennis said her run featured five finds.
