------PARTNERSHIP NEWS------
4/30/05 - The 2004 GDS Yearling Partnership offering was closed last October. Of the 5 NJ-bred yearlings which formed that partnership two (Hyperfection and Spanish Breeze) have already returned to NJ and two others (Arctic Boots and Heckuva Rush) will be coming north in May. Undercover Gal arrives somewhat later (June or July). Follow how they perform at Monmouth this summer and maybe they will pique your interest in the 2005 Partnership being announced later this summer. Under the Opportunities page you can find general information about how GDS yearling partnerships are structured.
