Monmouth Park will be holding a Kentucky Derby viewing Party on Saturday May 4^th in the Turf Club.  The cost is $55 per person and if you are interested, I can send you the details and if there are enough who want to attend, we can get a table for the group.

Wind Ninety Nine has had two additional breezes (see details and videos below)  in preparation for his debut for our ARC24 group on Wednesday April 18^th (see details below and pp’s attached above) in Race 3 at Gulfstream Park.  He will have Paco Lopez aboard going a flat mile from post five on the main dirt track in this Starter Allowance Optional Claiming event which is the distance and surface where he has three wins in four tries.  At 8-1 on the opening line, he will have to recapture that past form in order to best this group of veteran runners.  Good luck to our ARC24 Group and Trainer - Partner Kelly Breen.

Outlaw Country is entered for our ARC23 Group on Sunday April 21^st at Gulfstream Park in race 9 going five furlongs on the synthetic track (see details below and pp’s attached above).  He had a maintenance breeze on Friday shown below and I have included Scott’s initial comments on the race below.  Good luck to our ARC23 Group and Trainer- Partner Kelly Breen.

OUTLAW COUNTRY will get one more try at Gulfstream Park to get back into the Winner’s Circle, before heading to his favorite turf course at Monmouth Park! Carded as Race 9 on Sunday’s card, April 21^st, Outlaw Country drew the #7 post position in a field of nine runners with Paco Lopez back in the irons; an ideal post position for his off-the-pace running style, and the same position he has broken from in his last two starts. This is also the same Starter Allowance Optional Claiming level he’s been running in all Winter, posting a 4:1-3-0 running line, along with nearly $40,000 in earnings. He comes into this race doing as well as ever showing no signs of tiring to Kelly and his team. While it’s unfortunate we haven’t been able to get him on the Turf course at Gulfstream Park, or in a State-Bred race for that matter(!), Outlaw Country has earned his keep while down in Florida racing on the Synthetic track and got to breeze on the beautiful turf course at Palm Meadows all Winter; something he doesn’t get to do while at Monmouth!

Miti Fast Flower had another timed work for Trainer Mark Salvaggio at Penn National last Wednesday. Scott’s comments are below.

Some more progress for MITI FAST FLOWER this past week. Trainer Mark Salvaggio had her back on track for a 4-furlong breeze and she has come out of it doing great. As we often say, workout times really don’t mean much, and especially at this point in her training. Mark was not looking for a fast time, and just wanted to see her engaged in a formal workout while running through the wire. Albeit a slow time for 4-furlongs, the Equibase Workout Notification is below, Mark was happy with how she looked, but even happier with how she came out of it! He texted me this morning, unprompted, “Flower is going good, going to be more aggressive now.”  It’s a sign that Mark sees the right progress with her conditioning and foundation, and we’re excited for this next step in her progress.  We’ll continue to keep you posted along the way, and I have attached a photo from Mark during her breeze (see above).

Calming Sea is recovering well from her last race where it was discovered that she had some inflammation in her air passage post - race which more than likely contributed to her tiring in the stretch.  She was given some antibiotics to clear up the problem and should be back on the track shortly.  It is possible that she will run one more time at Gulfstream before travelling north to Monmouth Park the first week of May.

Cali Heat  continues to recover from a deep cut that he sustained in his stall a couple of weeks ago and we are looking forward to getting him back into training once the wound is fully healed.

Red Head Italian is well at Overbrook Farm and continues to enjoy her time off for healing and hopefully resume training early this summer.

Our Vino Rosso / Lisa Limon filly continues to train well, and we are looking forward to her arrival in New Jersey early in May.

Our Connect filly is well at Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky.
