Diamond Play worked this morning at Palm Meadows. As you can see from the below video, she’s training well and is ready for Monmouth Park.

All three of the two year olds purchased at OBS March (Group #49: Shakin It Up-Brenda's Slew colt; Group #50: Competitive Edge-Simply Precious filly named Life on the Edge; Group #51: Into Mischief-Home Rule filly named Guiliana Vee) have been with Kip Elser at Kirkwood Stables in South Carolina since the sale ended. Kip took these two videos of the three training on Monday. All are doing great as you can see in the videos below. All three are scheduled to ship up to Monmouth Park next week.

Start A Fire will follow them from Ocala the following week.

Take a look at our newest blog post, “Maximum Security – Minimum Work Times.”

Kochees runs in race 6 at Santa Anita Friday. It’s a realistic spot for this honest veteran horse. He always tries hard. With a good trip and his best effort he’ll be very competitive in here.

Don’t forget, our Monmouth Park season kickoff party is Friday, May 3^rd in Asbury Park. All welcome but space is limited and close to full now. Please RSVP if you would like to join us. We’ll have food, drink, selections for Derby Day at Churchill and opening day at Monmouth Park. We’ll also have a Q&A session “Everything you wanted to know about thoroughbred ownership, but were afraid to ask!”, we’re inviting everyone (whether you are attending or not) to submit questions to us in advance of the event. We’ll try to read and answer as many as possible at the event and post some of the highlights on our website in a Blog as well. Don’t be shy, don’t hesitate! Email any and all questions you have about training, workouts, sales, breeding, claiming, race entries, the condition book, costs, safety, thoroughbred aftercare, legal structure, accounting and business operations, etc. to us. Tough, challenging questions, simple introductory questions, all questions are welcome and appreciated. Happy to mention your name with any questions submitted or let you remain anonymous, just tell us what you prefer. This is your chance to learn more about your horses and the thoroughbred game.

Finally, if you plan to attend opening day (May 4^th) at Monmouth Park and wish help with seating – admissions, kindly email Owner Services Manager, George Katzenberger ASAP.

We look forward to seeing you at Monmouth and all our events for a great season of racing!
