Congratulations
2009 NBHA Open 2D
World Champion
PERKY PACIFIC
and Donald (Ducky) Keller
Pacific Bailey is still showing his importance in the
arena as the maternal grandsire of Perky Pacific
("Missy"),a 5-year-old mare out of Pacs Lois
Magnolia who was by Pacific Bailey. "Missy" is by
Perkin Chief, who is a grandson of Dash For Cash
and out of a TB mare. Take a look at My Designated
Driver's pedigree. Hum ... study your lesson!

"Missy has a big heart and never quits trying," Keller
said. "That's how we were able to turn a wreck into a
check at the (NBHA) World show. Missy didn't have
her best run, especially on the third barrel when she
pulled out. But fortunately, she was flying and our time
was perfect for the 2D."
Remember, YOU are the only bible that many
will ever see, so live your life accordingly.

KQHRA Stallion of 2009
    The Kansas Quarter Horse Racing Association held its Annual Convention and Stallion
    Auction on January 10. Despite the bitter cold and uncertainty of Kansas racing, a good
    attendance was treated to a nostalgic look at Eureka Downs of yester-year. KQHRA does
    plan to hold some type of racing at Eureka Downs for 2010, possibly unofficial racing to
    accommodate for the lack of QH opportunities this spring.
    Legislation is being prepared that will amend the current gaming law that should allow the
    tracks to install slot machines, creating a revitalization of our industry in Kansas. We feel
    confident we can get it done.

Don't Wait, Do It Today!
Give a friend or a loved one
that special "Thank you" or
"I love you" that you always
seem to be
embarrassed to say.
Don't be at their funeral
thinking "I wish I had."
Instead, be able to tell
yourself
"I'm glad I did."
