GABLE LAFOURCHE's US owner Harly Goebel says ...

GABLE LAFOURCHE's was potentially one of the best dogs I have ever had ... as he is unraced, I can't say how he would have gone on the track but he schooled in the equal of any dog ever ... he beat his sister VERMILION more times than she beat him and they were at least eight lengths ahead of the rest ... thats why I wouldn't sell him.

Not a bad rapt from a man who is :

• owner of America's top stud dog GABLE DODGE
• owner of GABLE DODGE's sire ... former US number 1 sire (1996) WIG WAM WAG
