Kenwood Racing's much loved filly Giuliana Vee was retired after her most recent start at Penn National and will take up residence as a broodmare on a lovely Pa. farm and we expect will have a long and happy life. A fine ending for fun group and a good home for a nice filly, what more could anyone ask for? Giuliana made 14 career starts with 2 wins, 4 seconds and a third. She always tried hard and give all of us a lot of thrills and excitement in her fine racing career. Read the story behind this filly's very special name, "Giuliana Vee Breaks Her Maiden – The Story Behind Her Special Name."

We are so pleased that Giuliana Vee has been retired to such a wonderful home after a fine racing career for us. Co-Owner Mike Perullo, who named her, wrote this today…I first want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to name Giuliana Vee in the first place. Secondly, I want to thank you for your patience and the way you handled her and gave her an opportunity to be competitive. Winning her maiden race, coming from off the pace in a photo finish, is something I will never forget. Giuliana’s dad, upon hearing the news that she had been sold, emailed me this ‘Thanks Mike, it was a joy to be a part of it. Just hearing her name during a race was well worth it. Thank you for keeping our Giuliana in your heart. I guess this is a fitting day for this announcement’ (she had passed on Nov. 5,2014).

Laura Catlett, who purchased her sent us this…

Thank you Robb. I’m beyond excited to have her. Giuliana has been on my heart for a long time. She will be in PA near Fair Hill to let down. She will go to Laura McKinney’s (Ann Merryman’s cousin) farm in Lexington to visit The Factor. Then she will come back to Maryland at Marathon Farm which is Peter Angelos’ farm. My broodmares live there. It is a spectacular farm. Krissy Close, who’s farm she will be at until February, manages my yearlings. She will send photos today or tomorrow when we get her settled in, and all along her journey. Giuliana will be loved and always have top notch care. I promise. Thank you again for trusting me with her. I’m so happy to have her. I’m going to spend the day with her tomorrow! Laura
