Solid return

• Bullion made his long awaited return at the Fair Grounds today and finished 5^th after battling for the lead early with the eventual winner in a very fast early pace. Tried hard, needed the race obviously after a lengthy layoff, showed plenty of speed against a super tough field. We got this race under his belt exactly as planned to have him ready for the Oaklawn Park meet that begins next month with some of the largest purses in the nation at all levels. It’s been a journey with this horse, all minor stuff but a lot more time off than racing. With a little luck our patience is about to be rewarded. Assuming he comes out well this race should set him up perfectly for Oaklawn.
• Giuliana Vee runs tomorrow in a full 10 horse field with 2 extras but gets a good post and rider, adds blinkers for this, and we are hoping for her to take a step forward to end the year on a good note.

A look at the latest possible race dates for all your horses here.

Mark your calendars for a Kenwood dinner meeting January 31^st near Monmouth Park with some exciting news on plans for the new year!

works, updates

Good morning and a very happy, safe and healthy holiday season to everyone! We have several workouts and training videos for you today….

• Shake It Up Baby worked really well, we are pointing him for one of a couple of races in January at Gulfstream Park.

• Solar an easy maintenance work since he didn’t get to run this week when races taken off the grass, he’s ready for anything that comes up, doing excellent.

• Rapstorerocks an easy gallop, doing fine, looking for race for him in early January also.

• Bullion makes his long awaited return Dec. 26^th at the Fair Grounds, exactly as planned to have him ready for the Oaklawn Park meet that begins next month with some of the largest purses in the nation at all levels.
• Giuliana Vee runs Dec. 27^th at Penn National in a full 10 horse field with 2 extras but gets a good post and rider, adds blinkers for this, and we are hoping for her to take a step forward to end the year on a good note.

• No Good Deed photo after training at Gulfstream Park with Ron Spatz’s assistant trainer Howard. She’s really developed beautifully, looks as good as she’s been feeling recently. We are eagerly awaiting her debut.

• Life on the Edge at the farm in Ocala, couldn’t look or be doing better. 
• Bullion makes his long awaited return Dec. 26^th at the Fair Grounds, exactly as planned to have him ready for the Oaklawn Park meet that begins next month with some of the largest purses in the nation at all levels. It’s been a journey with this horse, all minor stuff but a lot more time off than racing. With a little luck our patience is about to be rewarded. Looking for a good return effort against a very tough field, he’ll certainly need the race but training great. Whatever he does here should set him  up well for Oaklawn.
• Giuliana Vee fine out of her race at Penn National, so good in fact that trainer Mark Salvaggio entered her for a race this week at Penn on short rest and the race went. She runs Dec. 27^th in a full 10 horse field with 2 extras but gets a good post and rider, adds blinkers for this, and we are hoping for her to take a step forward to end the year on a good note.
• New Found Treasure excellent out of her going away win by 8+ lengths at Pann National. Now that she’s shown that while primarily a turf horse she can win on dirt as well, we have more options. Looking forward to a nice winter with her at Penn off this one. Congratulations to group #54, our partner Ralph Pastore and trainer/partner Mark Salvaggio on a very nice win.
• Solar doing really well and ready to run back as soon as we find a race for him, there’s a race in the book in mid-January at Gulfstream  Park, maybe an extra will come up before that.
• Magic Musketier doing fine.
• Shake It Up Baby good out of another very nice work in company at Palm Meadows and is approaching his return. There’s a race for him in early January we are pointing for.
• Night of Idiots good out of her race and will run back at Golden Gate Fields in January. There’s a race we are pointing for on January 5^th which should be a good spot.
• Rapstorerocks good out of his race, looking at a spot for him in early January at Gulfstream Park. 
• Our beautiful yearling out of Exchanging Fire in training at T-Square stud in Ocala and doing super. We expect him to be a precocious two year old next year.
• Lisa Limon excellent at the farm in Kentucky, looking forward to a nice healthy baby in February. She will be bred to world-class racehorse Palace Malice (by Curlin) in 2020, one of the leading first-crop sires this year with 19 individual winners including Structor, a Breeder’s Cup winning two year old on the Triple Crown trail!

• Life On the Edge has settled in nicely at Davidson farm in Ocala for a brief bit of R&R to get her ready for her three year old season next year. She had 7 starts and 2 impressive wins as a two year old, far more than 90% of all horses accomplish at two. She should return to Palm Meadows in about 60 days. Take a look at the attached photos, a more beautiful filly would be hard to find. Just one look and you can see she’s loving her vacation time on a beautiful farm!

• Solar was scratched today at Gulfstream Park when the races were taken off the turf. Trainer Kelly Breen thinks he’s running too well on the turf to risk knocking him out of form by running on dirt (in his lone career dirt start he was beaten almost 10 lengths and beat one horse to the wire). He’s doing really well and ready to run back as soon as we find another race for him, there’s a race in the book in mid-January, maybe an extra will come up before that.

Looking for a good return effort against a very tough field, he’ll certainly need the race but training great. Whatever he does here should set him up well for Oaklawn.
• Giuliana Vee fine out of her race, so good in fact that trainer Mark Salvaggio entered her today for an extra race next week at Penn on short rest and the race went. She runs Dec. 27^th in a full 10 horse field with 2 extras but gets a good post and rider, adds blinkers for this, and we are hoping for her to take a step forward to end the year on a good note.

big win, more entries, workout

• New Found Treasure sat a perfect trip close up in the early going, took over the lead turning for home, and won going away with every stride by 8+ lengths under a picture perfect ride by Tyler O’Connor this evening at Penn National. She was not claimed and came back great post-race. This filly has been knocking on the door for us and was long overdue for a win. Congratulations to group #54, and trainer/partner Mark Salvaggio on a very nice win.

• Solar gets in a very contentious race Saturday at Gulfstream Park, a full 12 horse field with a lot of closely matched horses. That said, he ran a huge race (3^rd beaten a neck for the win despite a horrible trip) last time and with a similar effort and a little better trip, he’ll be very competitive once again.
• Bullion makes his long awaited return Dec. 26^th at the Fair Grounds, exactly as planned to have him ready for the Oaklawn Park meet that begins next month with some of the largest purses in the nation at all levels. It’s been a journey with this horse, all minor stuff, but a lot more time off than racing. With a little luck now our patience is about to be rewarded. Looking for a good return effort, setting him up for even better times ahead
• Magic Musketier doing fine, had a nice workout at Los Alamitos.

Works & videos & entries

• Shake It Up Baby had another very nice work in company yesterday at Palm Meadows and is approaching his return. Kept his head in front of the other horse the entire way, going easily and galloping out well….

• Bullion had another nice workout at the Fair Grounds and is very close to running. He should be sharp and ready for the Oaklawn Park meet that begins next month with some of the largest purses in the nation at all levels. It’s been a journey with this horse, all minor stuff but a lot more time off than racing. With a little luck now our patience is about to pay off.
• New Found Treasure in a good spot Thursday at Penn National, should be very competitive in here, short field and should get a nice stalking trip.
• Solar doing really well, will be entered tomorrow (Wed.) for Saturday at Gulfstream Park.  
• No Good Deed no problems at all out of her last work at Gulfstream Park. “I can come back with a half (mile work) next week. I have her on a seven day schedule now, I’d say she’s about 45 days from running at this point. Doing really well”. Ron Spatz.
• Giuliana Vee fine out of her race and will run back in January at Penn National.
• Life On the Edge is getting a little R&R in Ocala to get her ready for her three year old season next year. She had 7 starts and 2 impressive wins as a two year old, far more than 90% of all horses accomplish at two. Arrived safely in Ocala and should return in about 60 days.
• Night of Idiots good out of her race and will run back at Golden Gate Fields in January.
• Here's a great photo of our beautiful yearling out of Exchanging Fire. Adam Parker took this photo of him on the wash rack a few days ago; it’s fun to see horses develop, you can see he’s in the process of turning from a boy to a man, like a teenager developing into an adult. He’s in training at T-Square stud in Ocala and doing super. We expect him to be a precocious two year old next year. Adam has had all three of the previous foals out of Exchanging Fire and told me yesterday “this is the nicest one by far, he does everything right, very willing and mature”.

great work, 4^th

• Night of Idiots sat a good trip off the pace and finished a close 4^th at Golden Gate Fields, beaten about four lengths for the win. An honest effort, after two similar races at this level, a little drop in class should make her tough to beat next time. A nice day for Kenwood partner Helen Hansel and friends:

• No Good Deed had another really nice work today at Gulfstream Park, went quickly and easily, came back good, doing really well.

• New Found Treasure in a good spot next Thursday at Penn National, should be very competitive in here.
• Giuliana Vee fine out of her race yesterday at Penn National, beaten a bit over 4 lengths for the win.

4th, new entry

• Giuliana Vee had a decent rail trip on a sloppy track at Penn National, made a move on the turn and tired late to finish 4^th, .beaten a bit over 4 lengths for the win. Not as bad as her last start by any means but not the effort we were hoping for.
• Another entry as New Found Treasure gets in a good spot next Thursday at Penn National, should be very competitive in here, a good test of where we are with her.
• Night of Idiots is in tomorrow at Golden Gate Fields, this is a decent spot and with the right trip should run well here. 
• Rapstorerocks good this morning out of his race at Gulfstream Park, no fever or obvious illness. Was in a perfect stalking position at Gulfstream and stopped badly on the far turn. Obviously something was not right and when we scoped him afterwards he had a ton of mucus in his lungs and was coughing constantly. “Maybe the mucus was enough to stop him, no other reason he should have run that badly”, Kelly Breen this morning.

• No Good Deed continues to train at Gulfstream Park very forwardly now “she’s scheduled to work in the next couple of days, she’s doing really well, I’m very happy with her”, Ron Spatz.
• Life On the Edge will get a little R&R in Ocala to get her ready for her three year old season next year. She had 7 starts and 2 impressive wins as a two year old, far more than 90% of all horses accomplish at two. Should ship out tomorrow and return in about 60 days

Race, video

• Rapstorerocks was in a perfect stalking position at Gulfstream Park and stopped badly on the far turn. Obviously something was not right and when we scoped him afterwards he had a ton of mucus in his lungs and was coughing constantly. The vet thinks he is coming down with a virus. The rider said he felt perfect the first part of the race and then sudden was gasping for air and suggested we scope him. Almost certainly, that was the problem. It’s a perfect example of the fact that horses cant’ talk and tell you if they are coming down with something. Safe to throw out this race, he has a shot to be a nice horse purchased at a bargain price.
• Giuliana Vee gets in the 1^st race on Saturday at Penn National. The bad news is it’s a huge 10 horse field and she drew a very unfavorable inside post. The good news is that it’s not a super tough group with perhaps one exception and she’s been training really well for this. Will be a good test of where we are with her. Hoping for a good trip.
• Night of Idiots is in Sunday at Golden Gate Fields, this is a decent spot and with the right trip should run well here. 
• New Found Treasure will be entered tomorrow for next week at Penn National, doing well, no issues at all.

Anyone needing help with seating, dining, admissions please email George@kenwoodracing.com.

• No Good Deed continues to train well. Here’s video of her training at Gulfstream Park yesterday:

Another surprise entry

• A surprise late entry as Night of Idiots is in Sunday at Golden Gate, this will give us a horse in each of the next three days at three different tracks.
• Giuliana Vee gets in the 1^st race on Saturday at Penn National. The bad news is it’s a huge 10 horse field and she drew a very unfavorable inside post. The good news is that it’s not a super tough group with perhaps one exception and she’s been training really well for this. Hoping for a good trip.
• Rapstorerocks runs tomorrow at Gulfstream Park. This will be a tougher spot for less money than at Aqueduct but that’s winter racing at Gulfstream Park. He has a shot to be a nice horse purchased at a bargain price.

• New Found Treasure will be entered this Saturday for next week at Penn National, doing well, no issues at all.
• Life On the Edge was fine out of her race at Gulfstream Park, walked today, no issues. Now she will get a little R&R in Ocala to get her ready for her three year old season next year. She had 7 starts and 2 impressive wins as a two year old, far more than 90% of all horses accomplish at two. Should ship out this weekend or early next week and return in about 60 days
