By Gary Guccione   Fri, Apr 22, 2011

Kenneth Biehle of Thorndale, TX, and Dan Iselt of Lexington, TX, grabbed all three main division main-stakes in the August/September final this morning (Friday) at the NGA Spring Meet with pups from a Lonesome Cry-Tipp Gina litter.

Biehle's and Iselt's BI's Oh Cee won the first division with a 30.14 time,  BI's Tooters won the second stake in 30.10, and BI's Cole captured the third in 30.72.

John Dalton's Kells Danny Boy notched the morning's fastest time in winning the October I Final in 30.04. Danny Boy is by Atascocita Leroy-Too Late. Winner of the other October main-stake (Division 2) was Biehle's KB's Marquez (Dodgem By Design-Cherry Jubilee*) in 30.55.

All of the main-stake winners from Friday will be in Saturday morning's auction, which will bring to a close the NGA Spring Meet.

Tonight's sale will feature 19 lots in the Brood Stock sale (13 of those females), with 57 of the younger pups also being auctioned. That program starts at 6:30 p.m. in Sterl Hall in Abilene.
