Horse by Horse News

  • We are happy to welcome a new horse to the Kenwood Racing Stable, as we won a 5-way shake yesterday to claim Mystified, a three year old gelding by Gormley for the ARC22 Group.   He has had 5 starts so far, with 1 first, 2 seconds and 2 thirds to date.  We are looking forward to some good things from him in the future.  Good luck to our ARC22 Claiming Group.
  • Easy as A.B.C. will run tomorrow in Race 4 at Monmouth Park.  It is a field of 10 going a flat mile on the turf.  He gets veteran rider Jorge Vargas Jr in the irons, in a bid to break his Maiden after his impressive 3rd place finish after being sandwiched in his debut.  We expect a large turnout tomorrow to see him run.  Good luck to all Group 81 Members.  
  • Torn Jeans is doing well and was entered yesterday for a race on Monday, but the race did not fill.  It was brought back to enter tomorrow for Friday the 19th.  She had a maintenance work last Wednesday.  We will update as soon as she has been entered.

  • U Kant Whip It will be looking for a third consecutive win, as there is a race for him on Monday August 22nd.  Details to follow if the race goes.

  • Ellie's a Riot and Without a Net are both progressing nicely while training with Kelly Breen.  If they continue to move forward, there are possible races for their debuts during the last weekend of the month.  We will keep you posted on their progress.
  • Fire's Finale is well and we are looking for another race for him, with additional class relief in the coming weeks.
  • Life on The Edge has had 34 starts in Kenwood Racing silks, with 5 trips to the Winner’s Circle and nearly 40% ITM finishes, it is unfortunately time to retire her, as trainer Mark Salvaggio reported that she came off the track quite sore on her front left leg, and has recommended at least 3-4 months rest, which would take us past turf season in the Northeast.  She is not in discomfort under her own weight and walking around at this point. She is a dual surface winner at 2,3 and 4 and banked almost $120,000 on the track. She will be retired to begin a second career as a Broodmare and we wish her well.  Thanks to all Members of our historic Group 50 who have supported her throughout her racing career.
  • Lisa Limon and her 2 foals are all well at Hidden Brook Farm.  See picture of the Vino Rosso filly.
