Another entry  at Monmouth Park, big weekend!

• We’ll begin with the entry of Shake It Up Baby, who gets in Saturday at Monmouth Park for his debut. Been showing a ton of speed and ability from the get go, excellent final work July 1^st. . There are a couple in here who have the advantage of a race under their belt, first start usually not a horse’s best, but that said he’s doing super and we are expecting him to run very well.
• One day earlier Life On the Edge runs Friday at Monmouth in her career debut. She’s also been training well for this, excellent final work July 1^st as well.  As stated above, 1^st timers usually need a race or two to show their best but we are expecting her to show ability here and are excited to see her make the entries.
• Our three two year olds in groups #53 & #54 Red Rocks colt, Soldat filly, Overanalyze filly all well.  We are down to the final few shares in our June groups; take a look at this video from trainer Kelly Breen on July 9th of the Overanalyze - Bold Kitten filly and the Red Rocks - Honey Green colt:

Next you can see them breaking from the gate at Monmouth July 4^th here:

These two horses are making very rapid progress, on track to make their career debuts this summer at Monmouth. Real values here for our final groups of 2019!

Update on all your horses...

Good evening, here’s an update on all your horses with news, entries, works and more after a very busy week(end)…

• We’ll begin with the entry of Life On the Edge, who is in Friday at Monmouth Park for her career debut. Been training very well for this, excellent final work July 1^st (below). 1^st timers usually need a race or two to show their best but we are expecting her to show ability here and are excited to see her make the entries. Here’s a video of her and Shake It Up Baby training together on July 4^th  from Kelly Breen

Next we have two horses who were claimed from us at two different tracks:

• Blue Eyed Beth ran hard and well today at Gulfstream Park, finishing 3^rd against a tough group for this level in a race filled with early speed. She made the lead early; holding it until mid-stretch when passed by two favored horses, but still hung on gamely for 3^rd money. She was claimed for us from the race for $16,000, we paid $15,000 plus tax for her last year at the OBS June sale so not a bad outcome here at all. She’s an honest filly, won for us and ran well in almost all her starts, but has real distance limitations and we think she was well sold.  This is the final horse for group #44, all three horses won, it was a fine group and all the co-owners can expect a statement and check in mid-August, once the final July bills have been received.
• Federal Dominance was a closing 4^th, beaten 1&3/4 lengths for the win at Monmouth Park Friday and also was claimed from us for the same price we paid for him about 6 weeks ago. He ran 3^rd and 4^th for us in two starts, earning about enough purse money to pay for his training costs. Not a bad horse, but didn’t run as well as we had expected in either start and based on that, it appears he too was well sold.

Updates on all the horses....

• ShimmyShimmy Shake had no excuse at all when 6^th Friday at Monmouth Park. Broke sharply, well placed just off a fast early pace while saving ground throughout, and tired badly. She’ll get one more try at Monmouth in a few weeks with a change in tactics, if that doesn’t work she’ll go to Penn National in search of a win against softer company.
• In other news Solar doing super, not a bad step or issue since claiming him at the end of last month. We expect him to make his Kenwood debut by the end of July. Here’s a video of Solar training July 4^th at Monmouth from Kelly Breen

• Shake It Up Baby will be entered Wednesday for Saturday at Monmouth Park for his debut. Been showing a ton of speed and ability from the get go, excellent final work July 1^st (below) hoping his race goes and expecting him to run very well.
• More Ice excellent works June 29^th and July 6^th  (below), ready for his stake engagement opening day, July 17^th at Del Mar. Doing super, won two big races as a two year old at Del Mar last year so we expect a big effort from him here.
• Other California horses with works below include Seahawk Lisa, ready for her debut at Los Alamitos or Del Mar, Annie’s Candy, ready for a race in a couple of weeks at the California fairs, Starring John Wain, ready for a starter allowance race at Del Mar, and Magic Musketier, ready to run at Del Mar, probably in August.
• Preacher doing well, should run this month at Del Mar or Ca. fairs.
• Night of Idiots training well at Pleasanton
• Rapid Red ready to come in from the farm shortly
• Looking for a spot for Bullion.
• Vibrant Spirit fine, should run at Gulfstream shortly. Final shot for her to show more or will be retired to a good home.
• Giuliana Vee well at farm, expect her to be ready to return to training by the end of July or early August.
• Start A Fire training well at Monmouth, heading towards his debut
• Exchanging Ember has had some down time while remaining at Penn National with Mark Salvaggio.
• Lisa Limon fine at farm in Kentucky, in foal, will be sold in November or January.
• Our three two year olds in groups #53 & #54 Red Rocks colt, Soldat filly, Overanalyze filly all well.  We are down to the final few shares in our June groups; take a look at the attached video from trainer Kelly Breen this morning of the Overanalyze - Bold Kitten filly and the Red Rocks - Honey Green colt galloping out from their first timed works at Monmouth Park July 1st (the Soldat filly is in Florida). They went together in 37.0 flat, going easily. Next you can see them breaking from the gate at Monmouth July 4^th here;:

These two horses are making very rapid progress, on track to make their career debuts this summer at Monmouth. Real values here for our final groups of 2019!

We’ll close with congratulations to our trainer Kelly Breen, who won three races today including the feature New Jersey bred stake, “Recent Claim Heading Home Captures Jersey Girl Handicap” Kelly is having another outstanding meet, 2^nd leading trainer by number of wins, #1 by winning percentage. Take a look at the article at the bottom of the works below, folks your horses are in the best of hands!

works, entries

• Blue Eyed Beth runs Sunday at Gulfstream, doing well, right level, got one of the toughest races for this level seen in a very very long time.
• Two for Monmouth Park tomorrow as Federal Dominance and ShimmyShimmy Shake both get in good spots. A large crowd will be on hand.
• Shake It Up Baby and Life On the Edge both ready for their debuts at Monmouth July 12,13^th (remember, these are possible ENTRIES, NOBODY knows if these races will go until entry day 2-3 days in advance).
• We have one group left to claim a horse for this meet, our newest group #54, to go with the really good looking Red Rocks colt we purchased at OBS June. That group is selling quickly, just $4,900 a share.
• Solar training very well at Monmouth Park. A lot to like here, much as with the claim of Federal Dominance last month a horse with real potential. Should make his Kenwood debut in July at Monmouth.
• Exchanging Ember is well and going back into training next week at Penn National after a brief bit of down time at the track last month. Hoping she’ll be back in the entries next month.

All others well at farms and tracks from coast to coast. More to follow soon

Results, works, entries

• Two 4^th place finishes yesterday in California. First, Annie’s Candy was the victim of a poor ride at Pleasanton as he was sent to the lead on a deep rail (against his off the pace running style) and tired late after battling the entire race to finish 4^th, beaten just over 2 lengths for the win. A better ride and trip and he gets the win in a similar spot.
• Then, at Los Alamitos, Preacher broke a step slow (but much better than when totally left at the gate in his debut last time), then rocketed to the lead and kept it until the stretch before tiring noticeably late to finish 4^th. He was facing two exceptionally good horses (the winner was purchased for $550,000 and was working spectacularly for this, probably will be in graded stake at Del Mar next), and showed excellent speed and a nice step forward from his debut. A little softer level and he should be very tough to beat next time.
• Two big entries to report for Monmouth Park this Friday as Federal Dominance and ShimmyShimmy Shake both get in good spots. Please let us know if you plan to attend and need help with seating – admissions for what should be a very exciting day, ALL owners welcome!
• Shake It Up Baby and Life On the Edge both worked this morning at Monmouth and went very fast and very well in their final tune ups for their career debuts. There are races for them at Monmouth July 12,13^th (remember, these are possible ENTRIES! NOBODY knows if these races will go until entry day 2-3 days in advance). Our entries page has all entry info.

• As we come down to the final few shares in our June groups, take a look at the video links on Vimeo trainer Kelly Breen took this morning of the Overanalyze - Bold Kitten filly and the Red Rocks (IRE) - Honey Green colt galloping out from their first timed works at Monmouth Park this morning. They went together in 37.0 flat, going easily and still in the top half of all works time wise. These two horses are making very rapid progress, already went to the gate this weekend and nicely on track to make their career debuts this summer at Monmouth.

• Magic Musketier and Seahawk Lisa both had good works yesterday in California (below).
• All others well at farms and tracks from coast to coast.

Thanks to all who attended an excellent annual meeting yesterday, plenty of good questions and good info.

Exciting new horse for group 51, entries, races, more

• We begin the big holiday week(end) with an exciting new horse for Kenwood Racing & Group #51 (Giuliana Vee) yesterday with the claim of the lightly raced three year old Solar at Monmouth Park for $20,000. We have mentioned many times it’s less important how they run than how they come back with claims; in this case we got both, as he won easily and impressively, going away by 4&3/4 lengths “under wraps” (see chart). He looked absolutely great this morning. Hard to find young sound horses like this with upside potential. A lot to like here, much as with the claim of Federal Dominance last month a horse with real potential. Solar should make his Kenwood debut in July at Monmouth.
• We have one group left to claim a horse for this meet, our newest group #54, to go with the really good looking Red Rocks (IRE) colt we purchased at OBS June. That group is selling quickly, just $4,900 a share.
• In other news, we have two horses running in California tomorrow, Annie’s Candy in race 2 at Pleasanton in a good spot as the morning line favorite, and Preacher in race 5 at Los Alamitos, facing some very well bred expensive 2yos but training great for this.
• A ton of training at Monmouth Park this morning and all went really well. See videos for Start A Fire, Shake It Up Baby, Life On the Edge, (Overanalyze filly and Red Rocks colt – new groups 53 &54), ShimmyShimmy Shake and Federal Dominance on our Vimeo page (Videos also below)
• Tomorrow we enter ShimmyShimmy Shake and Federal Dominance for races July 5^th at Monmouth Park. Both are doing excellent, hope their races go.
• All others well at farms and tracks from coast to coast.

Remember our annual meeting is 10 AM tomorrow, plenty of parking available 3 blocks away in AP garage, not full on a Sunday morning, easy. This is your chance to review financial info. on all groups and ask questions on your horses, we look forward to seeing you!

2 new entries, videos, annual meeting, update on all horses

Reminder, our annual meeting is this Sunday! For those of you used to attending our annual meeting around Haskell weekend, this is the annual meeting that we normally have at that time. As a note for our many new Co-Owners, this is your chance to review financial information, ask questions about the business, the groups you are in and horses that you have.  As this is a business meeting, we ask please owners only, no guests! RSVP really helps but all owners are welcome even at the last minute.  

• Today in race 5 at Gulfstream Park, Vibrant Spirit sat a good trip just off the early speed, made a move into 2^nd turning for home, and faded badly in the stretch to finish 8th. No real excuse, expected her to run better in her 2^nd start off the layoff, we’ll see if anything shows up in the next few days and go from there.
• On Sunday, we hav two big California entries for Preacher in race 5 at Los Alamitos and Annie’s Candy in race 2 at Pleasanton. Both doing well, both coming off good efforts, hoping to add to recent California big win for Starring John Wain (who came out of his race perfect).
• There are races to enter in for Federal Dominance on July 4^th and ShimmyShimmy Shake on July 5^th at Monmouth Park, both ready, hope races go.  
• Also races next week for Bullion and the debut of Seahawk Lisa at Los Alamitos.
• Looking for spots now for Blue Eyed Beth, Life On the Edge and Shake It Up Baby, all ready to run also. Right now next 2 year old maiden races are not until mid-July but if anything comes up sooner they’ll be in it.
• Start A Fire training well.
• More Ice on track for opening day stake at Del Mar
• Giuliana Vee fine at farm, back in training soon,
• Night of Idiots and Magic Musketier both training well,
• Rapid Red comes in from the farm soon.
• Exchanging Ember well at Penn, just walking a couple more weeks then hopefully back into full training.

Here are videos to Federal Dominance and Shake It Up Baby training this morning at Monmouth. Start A Fire also galloped, we’ll have a video of him in the next day or two.

Also a nice video from our other two new purchases training together at Monmouth Park earlier this week, the Overanalyze filly and the Red Rocks colt, take a look….

Space in our FINAL two year old partnership groups of 2019 are almost full. Please let us know if you are interested in one of the remaining shares in one of these great groups.

BIG win, update on all horses, entries

A big win this evening as Starring John Wain wins a maiden special weight race against open company impressively at Pleasanton (with a nice Ca. bred bonus), coming from far back in the early going in a 10 horse field to win going away in the stretch. This super honest colt had been in money 9 of last 10 starts (a troubled 4^th in the other) and was long overdue for a win. Been a lot of fun and a money-maker for us. A big congratulations to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and his entire team. Jerry has endured a lot of sniping and media mis-information in the last few days and we’re especially happy to see him get the win for us.

Now a horse by horse update….

• Life On the Edge now ready for her debut. She trained great today, see video  “She’s a bit ahead of the two fillies she worked with and all of them are about ready to run. I actually entered her this weekend and they had one horse entered, her. She’s ready to run in the next maiden special weight filly race that goes at Monmouth”, Kelly Breen.

• Same story for Shake It Up Baby, also trained well today and ready to run in the first maiden special weight colt race that goes at Monmouth
• Federal Dominance excellent out of his debut, a fast closing 3^rd. There’s a good spot for him at Monmouth July 4^th weekend.
• Magic Musketier training well, should run in July
• Annie’s Candy good and looking for spot at Pleasanton
• Night of Idiots training well since returning from the farm
• Rapid Red returns from the farm around July 1^st
• Giuliana Vee fine at farm and should return to training in late July. A quick visit to see Giuliana Vee Saturday morning at the farm, enjoy the photos!

 

 

• Exchanging Ember getting time off but at track just walking, not farm. Hoping to have her back in full training in about 4 weeks.
• Start A Fire pulled something in a foot and missed a few days of training, seems ok now and goes back to the track tomorrow
• ShimmyShimmy Shake worked this morning (below) and doing well, looking for a spot for her, ready to run
• Bullion doing well, looking at July 6^th at Los Alamitos for his next start. Had a nice work yesterday (below)
• Vibrant Spirit runs Thursday at Gulfstream Park, nice little maintenance work yesterday (below). Expecting a big step forward after a race under her belt. 
• Seahawk Lisa worked 2 days ago and may run at Los Alamitos.
• Blue Eyed Beth was entered for Friday at Gulfstream Park but race did not go, looking for other options for her now.
• Preacher scheduled to run at Los Alamitos next week, doing great.
• More Ice on schedule for the opening day stake at Del Mar in July.

Very excited about our three new horses from OBS June sale, here’s a video of the Red Rocks colt and Overanalyze filly training together today at Monmouth….

Space in our FINAL two year old partnership groups of 2019 are filling up rapidly. Please let us know if you are interested in one of the remaining shares in one of these great groups..

Our next morning training session will be at Monmouth Park this Saturday, please RSVP if you wish to attend and we will send you information on meeting time. Space limited, reserve now.

Also remember our annual meeting is this Sunday, your chance to review financial information and ask questions in a wonderful informal setting with food & drink (thanks to partner Ellen Gaynor).

Arrived and training!

Our three new two year olds from OBS June have arrived and trained today.

Here is a video and some photos of the Overanalyze filly and Red Rocks colt training together at Monmouth Park…

The Soldat filly is good at Gulfstream Park, we’ll have photos of her shortly.

Great to have such nice new horses arrive safely and be able to jump right into training! Details of upcoming group offerings to be announced soon!

Good debut, works...

• A fine Kenwood debut for Federal Dominance in race 12 at Monmouth Park. He closed strongly in the stretch to finish a close 3^rd, beaten a neck for 2^nd and just over a length for the win while moving up in class. Looks like a nice claim and off this race appears to be a very honest, competitive horse. Here’s a video of him in the paddock today before the race and photos.

• Life On the Edge trained very well today at Monmouth Park.

• Tune up work for Bullion, he’s ready to enter for his race on the 21^st, sure hope it goes
• Seahawk Lisa good out of her workout at Los Alamitos,there are races for her there end of June and early July, she should debut in one of them.

Very excited about the three new horses from OBS June!

We have updated possible entry info. for all your horses, as usual found here.
