Three big entries next Monday at two different tracks and the sale of Lisa Limon Sunday will make for an exciting holiday weekend!

  • Lisa Limon is Hip #1533, selling this Sunday at Keeneland, the sale will be live streamed on the Keeneland website, you can see it here. She shipped in today well from the farm, will be shown all of Saturday and sells early on Sunday. We will update her owners on how she has been received at the sale Saturday evening if possible.

Good news on entries today after several days with races not going. Remember all information on possible upcoming races and current entries may be found here.  Also remember, for help with seating-dining-paddock arrangements for any race please email George@kenwoodracing.com

  • Monday Solar finally gets in at Aqueduct in the race we were looking for. That’s the good news, bad news is it’s a full field of 12 horses plus 4 on the also eligible and he got the far outside post #12. A VERY unfavorable draw, tough to overcome, but he’s training excellent, has a good rider and with a good break and a good trip will be very competitive here for a big purse.
  • Also Monday Giuliana Vee and New Found Treasure both run at Laurel Park. Giuliana Vee stretches out to a mile, bred to like that, hoping for a nice move forward off her decent 4th in her debut. A few races later, New Found Treasure is a good fit in this spot IF she can handle the dirt (run on grass her entire life). Both horses get top riders and fit well in these spots if they fire their best shots.
  • Rapstorerocks good out of his race yesterday, a fine closing 4th at 23 to 1 odds at Aqueduct. Bumped at the start, well back, closed nicely to just miss 3rd by less than ½ length. A big step forward. Many young turf horses need a little time to mature; he went from a 6th at Monmouth Park to a closing 4th in New York, and recalling his troubles the last few weeks  (he’d been sick, fell and got cut and lost training time) this was a very solid effort. Maybe one more grass in NY and then ship to Gulfstream Park.
  • ShimmyShimmy Shake tired but good out of her 2nd at Penn National yesterday. She’d been training strongly since arriving at Penn National and we were expecting a huge improvement here off her disappointing Monmouth Park races where she’d been off the board every time, beaten 10++ lengths in her last seven starts. Here she broke a bit flat-footed, sat back early, and made a very decent late to get 2nd money. At this level with luck, she might be able to win a couple of races for us. Another example of how much of a difference class makes.
  • Life On the Edge training at Palm Meadows and will hopefully be ready to run at Gulfstream Park in a few weeks. One or two more starts and then a little time at the farm for some well-deserved R&R
  • Night of Idiots good and should be ready to run back at Golden Gate Fields around the end of the month
  • Shake It Up Baby training at Palm Meadows with Kelly Breen. We hope to have him ready to run at Gulfstream Park around the end of the year.
