• A lot to report since the last update.  First, we would like to thank the over 100 Kenwood Group Members and their Families and Friends who were able to attend our Annual Kenwood Racing picnic at Monmouth Park on NJ Thoroughbred Day.  The weather was picture perfect and it was exciting to have our two year old Red Head Italian entered in the last race of the day.  See the picture of the large number of Group 91 Members and their families in the paddock before the race.  She ran well but just couldn’t stay up at the end finishing a hard trying 4^th.  We will be looking at another MSW at the Meadowlands towards the end of the month for her.
• Outlaw Country ran back three weeks after we claimed him for $16,000, to win impressively by 2+ lengths against Claiming $40,000 competition on Saturday August 26^th   (See Winner’s Circle picture). He has come out of the race in very well and is now 3 for 3 since switching from dirt to turf running three straight lifetime high Beyer Speed Figures of 69, 80 and 85.  There is a possible entry for him on Friday October 6^th at the Meadowlands.  We will keep you posted when closer to entry day.
• U Kant Whip It ran well in Race 2 at Penn National on August 30^th finishing 3^rd as he was squeezed in along the rail coming down the stretch but fought hard to the end.  He came back well from the race and is entered in Race 3 at Penn on Thursday September 7^th with Tyler Conner aboard again.  He is 6-1 on the opening line.  Good luck to all Group 67 members, Trainer Mark Salvaggio and our partner Ralph Pastore. 
• Brit’s Candyman also ran a nice race on August 30^th coming in second in the 1^st race at Penn National.  He was claimed from us out of the race and we wish his new connections the best of luck with his next start.
• Lisa’s Palace was a well beaten fifth after being dropped from MSW to the claiming ranks on August 25^th.  She was claimed from us out of the race and we hope that she shows improvement for her new connections as some better showings in the future will bode well for our other Home-breds and Lisa Limon.
• We are hoping for Miti Fast Flower to make the entries for a MSW at Monmouth Park this Saturday September 9^th.  She has been training well and we are looking forward to her racing debut.  She had an easy breeze on Sunday in final preparation for the race.

• Some exciting news to share for this weekend, with our new 2YO Flameaway colt now named Cali Heat, is set to debut this Sunday at Monmouth Park!  He has been training great, and gets Jose Gomez in the irons amongst a tough looking group of nine 2YO first time starters.  He’s the third choice at 9-2 odds on the ML, and we’re looking forward to getting him into the starting gate for his debut! There is still one share available, so reach out today before it’s too late!  Don’t miss out on his unique opportunity to buy into a 2YO racehorse that is already entered to run two days later!
• Fellow 2YO purchase from the OBS June Sale, our Mitole filly now named Miti Fast Flower put in her 5^th consecutive breeze on Thursday this week, going 5 Furlongs for the first time, and gaining some additional conditioning heading into her potential debut, as early as next weekend!  It’s an exciting time for 2YO racing, and Miti Fast Flower has done everything asked of her to this point.  We just as excited to get her into the starting gate for her debut, soon enough!  Two shares remaining in Miti Fast Flower, who is close to racing and an equally exciting prospect for Kenwood Racing. She hails from a Champion family in Japan, and has been looking great on track in the mornings. Reach out today before the final 2YO shares sellout for the year!
• Our Active Racing Club, ARC23, claimed the runaway winner of Race 3 last Friday at Monmouth Park, Outlaw Country, who is now 2 for 2 since switching to the grass. The 3YO Gelding by Good Samaritan is already a 4-time winner in just 13 career starts, on both dirt and turf, and we are looking forward to getting him back into the starting gate for us later this month. See the photo of ARC23 member, Tony, appearing to rub the “right spot” on Outlaw Country’s head, as he seemed quite content with staying right there!
• Brit's Candyman had a gamely 3^rd place finish on Tuesday night out at Penn National in the off-the-turf sprint, battling back after getting shutoff to lose by about ½ length, and showing his versatility on both dirt and turf.  With the all the rain we have been getting, it’s been nice to see Brit answer the bell on both surfaces, but we are hopeful his next start will STAY on the grass! Boston Princess is patiently awaiting her next start, and there is a potential entry for her on Sunday, for next Friday August 18^th, that we are hopeful will go.  She was on track this morning for a gallop, and wanted to do more than the rider was allowing, so we’re looking forward to her next start. 
• Montauk Summer has been back galloping out of his disappointing finish last out, and we’ll be looking at a couple options later this month for him, with an eye on the Monmouth Park overnights since he is in claiming jail  until the end of the meet in September.
• Our 3YO NJ Bred Without a Net has been doing well out of her debut race last month, and is targeting her next start in another NJ Bred MSW race on Saturday, August 19^th.  
• Our 2YO NJ Bred, Red Head Italian has continued to progress out of her 4^th Place effort last out, and we are targeting her next race for the following Sunday, August 27^th, which is Monmouth Park’s NJ Racing Festival Day, as well as our Annual picnic!
• LISA LIMON is doing well at Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky, and in foal with a colt to the hot, young sire PRACTICAL JOKE.  Her CONNECT WEANLING FILLY has been weaned from her momma’s side, and living the horse-life with some other recently weaned babies in a new Paddock at Hidden Brook.  Her VINO ROSSO YEARLING FILLY is doing well still at Hidden Brook as well, and will be there through the Summer, with a target of shipping down to Ocala to begin the breaking process sometime in September/October.  Lisa Limon’s 2YO filly, Lisa's Palace, has been training great in Saratoga, and her 3YO colt, MY MAP, is now 5 for 6 lifetime, after winning a Stakes Race in Saudi Arabia two weeks ago, and winning the Saudi Arabia Jockey Club Award for the second year in a row!
• Stable veteran U Kant Whip It has been training great and will hopefully get his next race within the next couple weeks, as we look for any turf sprint at local Mid Atlantic tracks to get him his next race, and take advantage of the last couple months of turf racing in the Northeast.

• Brit's Candyman started us off for the week with a hard trying 3^rd last Wednesday night at Penn National.  Rider Tyler Conner said he felt good the entire way, but just could not get past the winner in the stretch.  He has shown his versatility finishing well on both dirt and turf over the last few weeks.  He has come out of the race in good order and we are looking to get him back in the entries as soon as a race is available. 
• Red Head Italian provided some fireworks on Friday in front of a large contingent of Group Members and their families as she sped to the lead out of the gate in her debut.  I have paraphrased Scott’s post- race review here as it covers all the action.

What an exciting race yesterday for RED HEAD ITALIAN’S career debut, just getting nosed out at the wire by another first-time starter for the win! While we certainly would have liked the win, it is hard to be too disappointed in her effort and the outcome.  She was the first to load into the gate and had zero issues getting loaded and set, but unfortunately almost every other horse had problems loading, with the entire process taking about 3-4 more minutes while she waited patiently for the start.  Acting like a true professional throughout she broke cleanly and got right to the lead as planned, with continued pace pressure from the eventual winner just to her outside.  She was confronted by the winner at the top of the stretch, but battled on gamely the entire stretch drive, while exchanging leads a couple times, before just getting beat at the wire by a short neck!  She came out of the race well according to trainer Kelly Breen.  Our partner Jeremy Rosen (Racing Manager for RJR Racing) reported that she looked good, jogged sound, and cleaned up the feed tub Saturday morning.  Her 2^nd place finish brought a respectable $14,375 in earnings with the lucrative NJ Bred purses, and since she still keeps her Maiden condition, she will be eligible to run right back on July 21^st in a five furlong NJ Bred MSW race for the same large purse.  The Equibase Race Chart is attached above for your review, where her full note tells the story perfectly – “RED HEAD ITALIAN showed good speed on the inside to set the pace, dueled into the stretch, dug in gamely on the rail in the final sixteenth and battled to the end.”

• Montauk Summer  is entered in the seventh race on Friday at Monmouth Park going a mile and a sixteenth on the turf in a full field nine with multiple also eligibles and MTO entries as well.  He will need to be in top form to capture the Winner’s share of the large 60K purse, but trainer - partner Kelly Breen feels that he has been training exceptionally well and deserves a shot in here.  Jose Gomez will be in the irons for Group 90 ARC23.  We expect a large number of the Kenwood family to attend so please let us know ASAP if you need admission passes.
• Boston Princess is well after her trip up from Florida and was entered in a Starter allowance at Belmont for Saturday that didn’t go. The race was brought back for Sunday, but she was not selected as one of the entries.  We are actively looking for a spot for her on the turf at Monmouth or any other Northeast Tracks in the next week or so.
• U Kant Whip It was entered for a turf sprint at Laurel, but the race was not carded and we are diligently looking for a spot for him as well.  He had a maintenance breeze last Wednesday and is ready to go.

• Brit's Candyman is entered on Wednesday June 28th in Race 2 at Penn National with top rider Tyler Conner in the irons in a field of ten where he is 4/1 on the current line.  Fingers crossed that the weather improves and the race stays on the turf which is his preferred surface.  Good luck to the ARC23 Group and our Partner Peter Castellano of Paterpop Racing and trainer Mark Salvaggio.

A very busy week with big news being the addition of two new horses to the stable as we were able to purchase both of the two year olds that we targeted on the first day of June Ocala Breeders Sale.  We were able to win the bidding at bargain prices for both and Scott will be sending out details about both later today.

• U Kant Whip It was a hard trying 2nd coming off his 9-month layoff.  He was involved in a speed duel on the front end and after giving up the lead in the stretch he dug in gamely to retake the lead but was eventually beaten by a late charging long shot.   Jockey Paco Lopez said after the race that he felt good but did need the race after the long layoff.   He has responded well since the race and we are happy with his effort to earn a nice paycheck for our Group 67 members.  We are looking for him to move forward from here on and to revisit the Winner’s Circle again this summer.
• Brit's Candyman is entered tonight in Race 2 at Penn National with veteran rider Julio Hernandez in the irons.  The race has been taken off the turf because of rain in Grantville, PA and the field is now down to seven horses with the scratch of #7.  He is currently the 7/2 second pick and we wish a lot of luck to the ARC23 Group and our Partner Peter Castellano of Paterpop Racing.
• Wheelingndealing had another workout last week while prepping for a possible entry tomorrow for a race on Sunday June 18^th (Father’s Day).  Details will follow if she is entered and the race goes.

A lot of news to start off June.

• First of all a big welcome to the newest addition to our stable as we claimed Montauk Summer on Saturday May 27^th at Monmouth Park for our Arc23 Group 90 (see photo).  He has 4 wins from 6 tries over the Monmouth Park Turf course during his career and we are looking forward to some good things to come from him this season.
• Brit's Candyman had a nice work at Penn National on Wednesday and trainer Mark Salvaggio is very happy with his progression.   He was entered today for a five furlong Turf Sprint at Penn National on Thursday June 8^th and gets top rider Tyler Conner in a full field of ten.  He is currently 6-1 and we wish a lot of luck to the ARC23 Group and our Partner Peter Castellano of Paterpop Racing.

• Red Head Italian has been doing great with her training and I have included Scott’s report to Group 91 Below

Another week, and another registered breeze for your new 2YO, RED HEAD ITALIAN!  She worked in company with a pair of 2YO’s fillies this morning, pushing her head in front down the lane to register the “Bullet Breeze” at 3F today at Monmouth Park; meaning she had the fastest breeze time at that distance! I have included the Equibase Workout Notification below.  The important thing to note about this breeze however isn’t the time, it was how she did it; well within herself, but eager to do more as the work progressed. Red Head Italian showed us her speed at the 2YO sale with her 10.1 breeze, but she is starting to show the mental aptitude as well when it’s time to work.  She has come out of the work well so far, and fingers crossed she continues to progress each week. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.

• Palace Malice / Lisa Limon 21 filly has officially been named Lisa’s Palace a name suggested by long time Kenwood Group member and supporter Cyn L. I have included Scott’s report to the group today after her 2^nd timed breeze.

Lisa’s Palace registered another breeze this morning, going in company with a pair of other 2YO fillies in Kelly’s Barn (including Kenwood’s Red Head Italian). She did it all well within herself, with no urging from the rider and a strong gallop out through the wire. She stopped the clock in 36:40 for the 3F workout, and I have included the Equibase Workout Notification below. LP continues to do everything asked of her and is progressing nicely in her short time with Kelly’s team. She has come out of this work in good order so far, and fingers crossed she can continue to move forward on a weekly basis through June!

• We will be attending the June OBS with the Under Tack show beginning on June 5^th through June 10^th and the actual Sale on June 13^th – 15^th.  We will be looking for one or two value horses to add to our stable as well as watching two of our Yearling Pinhook Group 88 horses sell.  See Nick deMeric’s comments below.

“They are on the sale OBS June ground, Robb, prepping the next couple of days. The Maximus Mischief/Port of Indy filly is showing most of the two right now. The Sharp Azteca/Reign Suzanne filly is a big, good looking lass, but has not shown a lightening turn of foot thus far. So far so good, anyway.”
Best, Nick.

• Wheelingndealing had an easy solo workout today at Monmouth Park, going 4F in :54.  As Kelly stated when catching up this afternoon, “just a fitness workout; stress free”. We’ll continue to get some conditioning back into her off the layoff, before looking for a sprint race hopefully later in June. She has run well on turf and the Tapeta surface at Gulfstream, so we should have some options when she is ready.

• Our newest Horse Group 91 with the filly named Red Head Italian is nearly sold out after just a few days.  There is just one available share left and we expect that to be taken before post time tomorrow.  If you want to join the Group, you must respond ASAP before it is SOLD OUT.
• Boston Princess enjoyed another great ride by jockey Paco Lopez to grab 2^nd in Race 3 at Gulfstream Park on Thursday (see chart below).  She provided Group 90 ARC23 with another nice payday after the step up to Allowance company.  Congratulations to trainer Ron Spatz and all Group 90 ARC23 Members and Kenwood Partners.  We look for more good things to come from this young filly in the future.

• Lisa Limon has done it again as she is in foal for the 5^th straight time on the 1^st cover!  An amazing feat for a Broodmare.   She is now carrying a foal by the hot young sire Practical Joke.  Her Vino Rosso filly and Connect Filly are both well.
• Wheelingndealing, Without a Net, Red Head Italian and our Palace Malice / Lisa Limon 21 filly have all arrived at Monmouth Park safely and are settling in at Kelly’s Barn.  We will take some pictures tomorrow to send out to Group members.

Jenny reports that she has so much energy recently, which is hopefully a sign she is ready to get back to work!
