Starring John Wain ran an absolutely huge race in a tough maiden special weight at Golden Gate Fields today, finishing a game 2^nd, beaten a short head for the win in a photo finish. Broke well, sat in a perfect stalking spot, took over the lead at the top of the stretch and battled several horses to the wire. There was a long inquiry as the winner squeezed the 3^rd place horse in the stretch, but the stewards let the results stand. It was a very tough loss yet an excellent effort, the best of his career and a big step forward off the decent but distant third place finish last time in his debut in Kenwood silks.

Bullion, Taima The Hawk, Run Macho Run, and Annie’s Candy all worked today (below) at Santa Anita.

More Ice on track for the California Derby, we’re pointing for it and think he’ll have a great shot.

As previously detailed yesterday, Blue Eyed Beth runs in race 5 at Gulfstream Park on Thursday. A good spot, been training great, ready for a top effort here.

Run Macho Run gets in next Thursday also, runs at Santa Anita in race 6, so IF Exchanging Ember ends up running Thursday, we’ll have three horses running at three different tracks.

ALL entry information, as usual can be found on our entries page.

Thanks for a great response to our four groups from the OBS March sale. Group #52 is sold out, we are now down to four shares for #50 & the last two for group #51. Kenwood co-owner Mark Forney, who attended the OBS March sale with our team wrote a great Blog post for us about his experience, you can view it here (thank you Mark!)

Start a Fire doing great in Ocala, training forwardly. All others doing well too.

Starring John Wain runs in race 10 at Golden Gate Fields on Sunday. Good spot for Starring John Wain, better distance than last time when a closing 3^rd in traffic and less horses too, should run well.

Mixed news on the entry for Exchanging Ember.  The race we were looking for did NOT go again at Penn National, but a race against males was going so we took a deep breath and entered her in that spot for next Thursday. They carried the race we were looking to run in against fillies over again, and the racing office will let scratch from the race we are in if that race goes. So we’ll enter in there next Wednesday for Friday and if it doesn’t go yet again we’ll stick where we are and run Thursday against males. She’s doing super and needs to run, a race against fillies would be much preferred but at this point having entered 5 times, no doubt better to run than sit in the barn in her case.

Good news on the entry front as the race (race 5) at Gulfstream Park for Blue Eyed Beth went for next Thursday. A good spot, been training great, ready for a top effort here.

Run Macho Run gets in next Thursday also, runs at Santa Anita, so IF Exchanging Ember ends up running Thursday, we’ll have three horses running at three different tracks.

Bullion, Magic Musketier, Run Macho Run, and Kochees all have races coming up shortly to enter in, as mentioned may take a while to get spots for them at Santa Anita but they all are ready.

On Friday, in race 4 at Santa Anita, Red Shelby made the lead from the rail early, was joined by the heavy favorite and got caught up in a blinding speed duel, and both stopped in the stretch. Red Shelby finished 7^th, but (hard as this is to believe) was beaten literally 3 lengths for the win in a blanket finish. They went the first 6 furlongs in a staggeringly fast 107.88 on the downhill Santa Anita turf course and it simply took a little too much out of both horses. It’s a shame as she ran very well, but this was a perfect example of the sayings ‘pace makes the race’ and ‘the trip is everything’. Seems to have come out of it fine.

Race for Exchanging Ember did not go again at Penn National, but they carried it over again, giving us three races to enter in tomorrow for next week. She’s doing super and needs to run, a good shot one of the three will go for her tomorrow finally.

No luck on entries today at Santa Anita as none of our races went. As mentioned before, there are a lot of races to be filled after the nearly one month hiatus, so we’ll need a little patience to get these horses in the entries.  

We will be entering a number of horses Thursday & Friday for races this weekend at various tracks, including Exchanging Ember and others.

Bullion, Magic Musketier, Blue Eyed Beth, Run Macho Run, and Kochees all have races coming up shortly to enter in.  

Our first entry in a while, as Santa Anita re-opens comes with Red Shelby Friday, not a bad spot if she gets a good trip for her to take a step forward.

Thanks for a great response to our four groups from the OBS March sale. Group #52 is sold out, we are now down to four shares for 50 & the last two for group 51.

We close with a video from trainer Kelly Breen of New Jersey-bred mare Diamond Play, with her first timed work since her return to training at Palm Meadows (in Florida near Gulfstream Park). She’s doing really well, happy and eager to train. On schedule to run early in the meet at Monmouth Park, with perhaps a prep at Gulfstream before.

Two works on two coasts today:  Blue Eyed Beth (“she went a little too fast, just real sharp, galloped out great” Ron Spatz) at Gulfstream Park and Starring John Wain (“went very nice, I think he can win the maiden special weight” Jerry Hollendorfer) at Santa Anita Park are both ready to roll (works below).

Thanks for a great response to our four groups from the OBS March sale. Group #52 is sold out, very few shares remain for groups 50 & 51. All four two-year olds are in training, came out of the sale well and going right on towards their debuts this spring – summer. THANK YOU for your support!

Our first entry in a while as Santa Anita re-opens comes with Red Shelby, who was one of many horses to work today and went really well. Red Shelby runs Friday, not a bad spot if she gets a good trip for her to take a step forward. More works to report this morning for More Ice, Magic Musketier, Bullion, Run Macho Run and Kochees (all below). The race for Bullion did not go today, after many days off at Santa Anita there are a ton of races they are trying to fill, so it’s going to be tough sledding for a while with entries but as you can see from the works we have a lot of horses doing well and ready for any suitable race that comes up. You can see a video of Kochees working today here.

Race for Exchanging Ember, enter Thursday for Saturday. Still looking for a spot for Blue Eyed Beth at Gulfstream Park, she’s ready to run. April 4^th is the next date in the book, maybe an extra will come up sooner.

You can see our recently updated list of possible entry dates here.

Diamond Play doing well at Palm Meadows training center; will be pointed either to a 2019 debut at Gulfstream next month or to a race at Monmouth Park in May.

Thanks for a great response from our current owners to our four groups from the OBS March sale. Group #52 is sold out, over 25 shares sold overall with these groups in less than one week. The three groups with shares still remaining will be released to our Kenwood Racing friends list Monday. All four two year olds are in training, came out of the sale well and going right on towards their debuts this spring – summer. THANK YOU for your support!

More works to report this morning for Annie’s Candy and Taima The Hawk (below) at Santa Anita. Both are doing well and ready to run.

Race for Exchanging Ember did not go at Penn National today for next Friday but was carried over, enter Thursday for next Saturday. If that doesn’t go, there’s another option for her April 4^th at Penn. The good news is she’s made it back, is training well, and is ready to run.

We have a lot of scheduled races coming up at Santa Anita now that it’s set to re-open next Friday, as well as races above for Penn,

We are looking for a spot for Blue Eyed Beth at Gulfstream Park, she’s ready to run, April 4^th is the next date in the book, maybe an extra will come up sooner.. You can see our recently updated list of possible entry dates here.

Diamond Play has settled in nicely at Palm Meadows training center and will be pointed either to a 2019 debut at Gulfstream next month or to a race at Monmouth Park in May.

Last call for current co-owners before our four two year old groups from OBS March are released to our Kenwood Friends waiting list this Monday. All four two year olds are in training, came out of the sale well and going right on towards their debuts this spring – summer.

All horses well, ready to run, a lot of action coming up!
