Hi All,

Happy 4^th of July Weekend.  We have a big day today at Monmouth Park with two runners in the first three races. With the free admission today, we expect a large crowd so if you plan on attending, please come early. 

One Time Willard has been training very well (see breeze details below) and is ready for his entry in Race 1 today at Monmouth Park with a post time of 12:50 (see pp’s above and details below). Jose Gomez will ride in what is now a short field of five after two scratches going one  and one -sixteenth miles on the Monmouth Turf.  Currently at 3-1 on the morning line, they will leave from post 6 in a bid to get him back to the Winner’s Circle.  Scott’s pre-race analysis is below and good luck to all Group 97 ARC25 Members and Trainer-partner Kelly Breen.

We knew we'd be looking for his next race out of his last breeze, and the Allowance condition allows him to go back on Lasix for this one, as well. Willard drew the outside, #6 Post Position, but with limited early speed signed onto this short field, he could find himself on the front end having to use a bit of early speed to ensure we don't get swung wide coming out of the chute, and past the finish line for the first time. #3-Atlast (Fr), for Graham Motion, is a G3 winner in France, and was Stakes Places last Summer at Monmouth Park in his first stateside run; he's coming into his 2^nd race off the longer layoff and was coming late last out after experiencing some trouble around the turn, and he looks to be the one-to-beat on paper.

One Time Willard is entered today at MONMOUTH PARK.

Red Head Italian is ready to run and is entered in Race 3 today at Monmouth Park with a post time of 1:55 (see pp’s above and details below).  Luis Rivera Jr will look to make it two in a row for our Jersey Bred in this field of seven going 6 furlongs on the Main track. They are currently second choice at 4-1 and will leave from post 2.  Scott’s pre-race comments are below and good luck to all Group 91 Members and Partner RJR Racing.

RED HEAD ITALIAN is running in a Starter Allowance, carded as Race 3 on the 9-race Sunday card.  RHI will break from Post Position #2, with Luis Rivera Jr. back aboard! We'll take the inside post draw, as RHI will look to use her speed to gain positioning early, and save as much ground as possible. The 6-furlongs is the question mark, but RHI is training great and doing as well as she ever has been for us!

She’s a Gamer is doing well and we will be entering her for a race on July 10^th at Monmouth Park today.  More details to follow.

Foggy Note continues to train well in the morning and we have an entry for her on Tuesday for a Starter Allowance Race at Delaware Park on Friday July 10^th.

Cadet Corps is good out of his race and should be ready for his next race sometime in late July

Speed Figures has been working well  out of his last and we will be looking for a race for him later in July.

Adversary is back at Sunset Meadow Farm as we will be developing a plan for him going forward in the next few weeks.

Lisa’s Palace is in foal and if all continues to go well will ship into Sunset Meadow Farm in NJ in the coming weeks.
