General News

A lot of good news as we are looking forward to opening day at Monmouth Park, which is just 1 week away. The notorious no whipping rule has been amended to the new standard that will be in effect across the country beginning July 1 and Fixed Odds betting will begin at the racetrack only on Saturday May 7th opening day as well as Kentucky Derby Day.   Hopefully many of you can make it to kick off the new season.

  • This afternoon Tetragrammaton finished a close 2nd at Gulfstream Park.  Please read Scott’s race recap below.

It was another exciting finish for Tetragrammaton today in another step up in class against older horses, just getting beat by ¾ length in the final strides before the wire!  He showed his typical gate speed breaking for the early lead and found himself in a speed dual on the backstretch with a horse he easily ‘put away’ at the top of the stretch; only to get in the last 50 yards by a late charging closer.  It was another nice effort from Tetra, and with no claims out of the race, we are excited to get him to Monmouth Park!  We already have a van ride lined up for him this Sunday to come up to NJ and join the rest of Kelly’s stable at Monmouth Park, and we’ll keep you posted on next races as our attention turns to the Northeast.

ARC 2022 had a very nice start to our year down at Gulfstream Park, posting a final record of 2-1-2 in just 7 starts – a 28%+ WIN percentage, and a 71%+ ITM percentage!  It’s just a small sample size to date, but we are eager to keep building on these numbers as we move north and look for our next claims.   

  • Life On the Edge is doing well training with Mark Salvaggio at Penn National. She had a final breeze last Saturday in preparation for a turf race on May 7th at Penn National. She was entered today and please see Scott’s race announcement below.

Exciting entry news for Life On The Edge’s return to turf racing, as she is entered in Race 6 at Penn National next Saturday afternoon, May 7th (Kentucky Derby day!).  LOTE has been doing great since getting back into Mark’s barn after a brief freshening at the farm, and is ready for this return to grass. A field of eight entries, we are expecting a big effort from her with jockey Angel Rodriguez named to the mount. All we need is a little luck with the weather to make sure it stays on the turf!  Below is snippet from the Final Entry, via Equibase.

  • Lisa Limon and her 2 foals are all well at Hidden Brook Farm.  See picture of Lisa Limon and her Vino Rosso foal above and the report below from Sergio at Hidden Brook as she was bred to Connect on Monday April 18th.  Let’s hope all goes well and she will be in foal again this spring.
