Butch WINS Open Derby at Highland

Mary-Beth Esser, an amateur, handled Butch to a first place in the Grand Valley Open Derby Stake at Highland on Friday, September 18. Thanks Mary-Beth! Butch, Kate and Sudsy are all qualified now and Butch has the added distinction of being qualified to run in Amateur Championships. Butch's race, wild bird finding ability and manners all stack up pretty well to make him a possibility for the National Amateur Grouse Championship beginning September 23 at Gladwin. We are deciding right now on whether to enter him.
