Ms. Search was advised of her colt's severe respiratory infection and the colt was sent to one of the foremost equine hospitals in Southern California. The colt fought for a week before he could fight no longer. The veteranarians told Ms. Search that besides being a very nice looking, correct foal with a lot of personality, they had never had one fight so hard, for so long, under the severe symptoms he suffered. "With heart like that, he probably would have made one helluva racehorse," Ms. Search observed, sadly. *4/27/07* Top Commander (Kingmambo - Mackenzie Slew) just missed his eighth lifetime victory by a nose at Lone Star Park, going 6 furlongs on the dirt.

Mackenzie Slew has now produced 6 winners from 8 to race and both Bernhardt and State Power look to have stakes potential. *4/1/07* Top Commander (Kingmambo - Mackenzie Slew) scored his seventh lifetime victory in a six furlong dirt contest at Sam Houston Park by a length and a quarter on a track labeled "Good". The gelding has now raised his earnings to $223,130. *3/23/07* Glassboro Handicap winner Two Timin Toni (Thanks to Tony - Well Content), foaled Louis Arthur's first colt and her 12th foal.

The foal was planned by the late Kent Foster of Kerrville, Texas, who passed away last October. The mare was purchased privately and the foal is bred by Arizona Bloodstock, in Arizona.

Tom Commander has now won 6 of 14 races and earned $172,560. *4/8/05* Brereton C.

The colt fought for a week before he could fight no longer. The veteranarians told Ms. Search that besides being a very nice looking, correct foal with a lot of personality, they had never had one fight so hard, for so long, under the severe symptoms he suffered.

The gelding has now raised his earnings to $223,130. *3/23/07* Glassboro Handicap winner Two Timin Toni (Thanks to Tony - Well Content), foaled Louis Arthur's first colt and her 12th foal.

The foal was planned by the late Kent Foster of Kerrville, Texas, who passed away last October. The mare was purchased privately and the foal is bred by Arizona Bloodstock, in Arizona.
