Hi All,

 A big day coming up tomorrow on Pennsylvania Derby Day with two Kenwood horses running on the undercard at Parx.  We will have a large group of Kenwood Partners and Group Members there to cheer them on.

Foggy Note is first up in Race 4 with an early post time of noon in a Starter Optional Claimer with a 100K purse going 6.5 furlongs on the main track (see pp’s above and details below).  There are 16 entries with a field of 14 scheduled to leave the gate.  Top veteran rider and leading jockey at the 2026 Saratoga Meet will be in the irons to try to work a good trip and avoid traffic when leaving from post position 2. With the speed horses leaving from the outside positions  (#’s 11, 12, and 14) she should be able to use her tactical speed to stay just off the leaders and avoid traffic at the first turn.  With the large field and several quality horses it will be a very tough race, and she will have to have her best effort to finish well here. Currently the second pick at 5/1 she fits in this spot but will have to avoid trouble to get to the Winner’s Circle.  Good luck to all Group 99 ARC26 Members and Trainer - Partner Kelly Breen.

She’s a Gamer will run in Race 9 the Liberty Bell Stakes with a purse of 150K going 6.5 furlongs on the dirt with post time of 2:26 pm see pp’s above and details below). Veteran rider and 2017 Hall of Fame inductee will be aboard in a field of ten horses as the 5/1 third choice.  Scott’s early analysis is below and good luck to all Group 99 ARC26 Members and Trainer - Partner Kelly Breen.

She's a Gamer goes against a full field of 10 filles and mares in Race 9, The Liberty Bell Stakes; sprinting 6.5f on the dirt. As expected, there is no shortage of stakes-quality horses in the field, led by G3W/G2P #4-Haulin Ice who ran in the G1 Breeders Cup Filly & Mare Sprint last Fall, finishing 6th. To the outside, #9-Irish Maxima, is riding a 4-race win streak into Saturday, which includes the G2 Ruffian and the Dashing Beauty Stakes in her last two efforts.  #3-Kappa Kappa won the G2 Raven Run at Keeneland last year, and while she's been keeping tough company this year, she has not been able to get back to that form against top competition in 2026.  While She's a Gamer might be the lightest raced on paper coming in, she's doing great and has earned herself a try against this type of company.  She drew Post Position #7 and gets Hall of Famer, Javier Castellano, in the saddle for her first try against Stakes company. She has the second highest Beyer Speed Figure last out in the field, behind Haulin Ice, and we're excited to have an outside post position on Saturday. The inside draws in her last two races helped force our hand with 'sending' out of the gate, but She's A Gamer is much more dynamic with being able to stalk the early pace before making her run. Especially given the 6.5f distance, we're going to want to see She's a Gamer come from off-the-pace, instead of getting in a speed duel with the outside horses that are likely to "send" out of the Starting Gate. 

One Time Willard is binge pointed to a Jersey Bred Allowance Optional Claimer on the Meadowlands turf course on October 16^th.

Cadet Corps has been walking in the mornings as planned to help alleviate some inflammation in his splint bone.  We will take it slow and just try to keep him on track for the Claiming Crown Jewel in mid- November.

Speed Figures has been jogging at Monmouth Park and should be ready to get back to full training in a week or so.

Red Head Italian was claimed away from us last Sunday on the last day of the Monmouth Meet.  She finished her Kenwood Career with a line of 22 starts with 4 wins, 5 seconds and 2 thirds with earnings of just under 125K with 50% in the money and 18%-win percentages. We wish her good luck with her new connections and she certainly will be missed as a Stable favorite for Group 91.

Adversary is now in Elkton Maryland with the After the Races association to be placed as a riding horse in the future. Scott’s final notes on him are below.

After a couple of months of stall rest at Sunset Meadows Farm, ADVERSARY has been accepted to After the Races, in Elkton, Maryland; a 501(c)3 thoroughbred rehabilitation and rehoming center that does an incredible job with OTTB's! ATR has rehomed over 1,000 thoroughbreds from off-the-track, and we are THRILLED to have Adversary accepted to such a wonderful program! ATR is very active on Facebook and Instagram with their horses, so please make sure to give them a follow on their socials and support their great work - https://www.aftertheraces.org/about-us. As per the Kenwood Guarantee, ARC26 members are not responsible for any of the costs associated with retiring Adversary. On top of that, Kenwood Racing and Kelly Breen have a made a nice donation to ATR to help support their mission, and specific work with Adversary in the coming months! We'd also like to give a BIG shoutout and THANK YOU to Jeannie and Ken at Sunset Meadows Farm, who not only took great care of Adversary and getting him back to himself, but also vanned him down to Maryland yesterday; see the attached photo of Adversary getting off the van at After the Race's beautiful farm! Someone is going to be very lucky to have this guy as their riding horse, because he is an absolute sweetheart...and quite the looker, too! Best of luck to Adversary with his training towards his second career, and we can't wait to see where he lands! One thing is certain, Adversary retired from a racing a Champ, winning the final race of his career in convincing fashion, carrying the Kenwood silks! 

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.
