RETIRING TO STUD FOR 2009
emHill 'n' Dale is honored to be adding one of leading sire Giant's Causeway's finest North American son to its roster for 2009.

Successful on Turf, Dirt, and Synthetic surfaces, Heatseeker offers today's breeders an abundance of versatility, speed, stamina and pedigree for an affordable price. as his sire and great-great-great grandsire did before him, as the most promising, raw-talented three year old in the country and the horse to beat in the Derby.
