Our 2022 Active Racing Club Program ARC2022 is just about full and set to begin in January. Thanks to all who attended our GoToMeeting last week and especially those who have become club members.  Our new managing partner (beginning Jan. 1st), Scott Schaub has been the point person for this program, working with George and Robb and the rest of the team on the structure. If anyone who could not attend our presentation last week is interested in hearing about the 2022 Active Racing Club please let us know and we will get the information to you but please don’t delay as we are just about full and set to go now

Horse by Horse News

  • In racing news, Life On the Edge was a game 3rd last night at Penn National. Battled hard to make the lead, tried every step of the way, another fine effort after a game 2nd last time. Off this while she’s a better horse on turf, we’ll give her another race or two on dirt before letting her have a brief winter freshening to have her ready when grass racing returns next spring.
  • The Ghost of N Y was entered twice last week and again four times this week at Laurel Park and Penn National and none of the races have gone. We’ve not been picky, we’ve entered short and long, from lower level claiming up to allowance, at multiple tracks because he’s doing well and we want to run. It’s a good example of how tough it can be to get races to go for certain types of horses. 2 year old maidens have plenty of options but once they win, races for winners are few and far between this time of year since only about 15% of all two year olds have broken their maidens even as late as December. He has been training great, after his sharp win on December 3rd and we are actively trying to find a spot for him to run. They did carry over an allowance race at Penn for the 3rd time today, that means they are trying to use it. They got up to five horses today, so perhaps it will go next week.
  • Fire's Finale was entered in a Pa. Bred Allowance for December 29th at Penn National and the race went. A competitive group but a nice short 7 horse field. Training well and hoping to end the year on a good note with him. 
  • U Kant Whip It is doing well and we are entering him next week in a Maiden Race at Aqueduct scheduled for Dec. 31st.  Would be a perfect way to close out the year if he gets in and wins.
  • Street Facts fine out of his race where he found himself in some very tough company in a Maiden Special Weight at Gulfstream Park with a real excuse (bumped). We are planning to breeze him and assuming he does well enter him early next month.
  • Tracy Ann's Legacy is at Palm Meadows Training Center and has had a series of breezes.  May need a race to be at her best, first one back will do her good, but training nicely and we expect another big year with her. There’s a race Jan. 7th we are pointing for.

  • Tessa P is back training at Penn National with Mark Salvaggio. She’s back to strong gallops, Mark plans to work her in a couple of weeks and if she keeps doing well, she should be ready to run later in January or early in February.
  • Liam’s Map and Runhappy yearlings are both doing excellent at Manuden Farm in Ocala, according to Nick de Meric. We are pointing the Liam’s Map to the OBS March and the Runhappy to the OBS April sales.
  • Lisa Limon and her Palace Malice filly both well at Hidden Brook Farm. 

 

A very happy, safe, healthy holiday season to everyone. May the horse be with all of you in the New Year. We are truly grateful to have you as a member of the Kenwood Racing family.
