Some new very good news as we are looking forward to opening day at Monmouth Park which is just 2 weeks away.

• For those who missed the live viewing, we are delighted to inform you our Runhappy Colt brought $160,000 at OBS on Wednesday! Please read, “Kenwood Racing’s Runhappy Colt Brings $160k at the OBS spring sale!"
• A large number of Kenwood Group Members and Partners were able to visit our Arrogate – Belle Chloe Colt, Fire's Finale and U Kant Whip It last Saturday at Overbrook Farm.  Check out the photos here. We were able to see them perform under tack on the training track on a sunny but very windy day.  Special thanks to Scott for arranging such a nice visit.  Also, thanks to Rory Huston for hosting us at the farm.  These three will ship into Monmouth Park in the next few days.
• Warn did not get a great trip for his Kenwood Racing debut Saturday at Gulfstream Park, in a race that was ultimately pulled off the grass and run on the tapeta course.  He was boxed in along the rail for most of the race, but he showed why we claimed him when in deep stretch when he was finally given some room to run; finishing a fast closing 6^th, and just missing 3^rd place by a long neck, and 2^nd place by just over a length.  He will be shipping up to Monmouth Park next week with Kelly Breen.
• Tetragrammaton is fine out of his race and may be entered tomorrow for a race on April 29^th at Gulfstream Park before being shipped to Monmouth Park.  We will keep you updated as to the developments.
• No Commission finished 4^th in his race on Sunday at Gulfstream Park and was claimed from us in an 8 -way shake.
• Life On the Edge is doing well training with Mark Salvaggio at Penn National. She had an easy breeze last Saturday to begin prepping for a turf race on May 7^th at Penn National.

• Tetragrammaton ran a commendable race going against winners for the first time.  He broke alertly from the gate and held the lead into the stretch, but tired to be beaten by just over two lengths.  With a short 2 week turnaround from his winning effort, we are very encouraged by the outcome and look forward to a successful turf campaign at Monmouth Park this summer.  Congratulations to our ARC22 Group who now have 2 wins and 2 thirds from 5 starts at the Gulfstream Championship Meet.

• We would like to welcome our two newest Stable Additions for the ARC 22 group who were both Claimed last Sunday at Gulfstream Park. Poppy's Boys is a consistent 5yo, with a proven record who should be a terrific horse for us at the Mid- Atlantic tracks. He came out of the race excellent so far, and we are excited to have him in the stable.  We were also able to win a 3-way shake for the lightly raced, 4yo maiden Warn, who rallied from well back to finish a solid 2^nd; ultimately exactly what we want, as he kept his Maiden condition.  He too appears to come home sound and happy, and another horse we are excited to add to our stable. 
• Life On the Edge ran another excellent hard trying race, finishing second on Tuesday March 8^th at Penn National. As promised, she has been given some R&R at Sunset Meadow Farm before the Spring Turf season begins.

• We are diligently preparing for the March OBS for two big reasons this year. First and foremost, we will be trying our best to acquire 1 or 2 quality horses at a reasonable price to add to the Stable. We expect this Sale to be highly competitive and as you know, we are highly disciplined buyers. If we can buy a quality horse at what we feel is a value price, we pull the trigger, if not, we will bide our time and wait for another sale. In the next day or so, we will be sending out a short survey in order to gauge interest in joining our 2 year-old Groups this Spring. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and return to us.
• In addition, our Liam’s Map – Lisa Limon Colt is prepped and ready for the auction where he will be Hip # 577. Good luck to Group 55 (The Lisa Limon Broodmare Group) and our partner Ralph Pastore, who have been waiting patiently for this sale to arrive.
• Some more exciting news, as we have created a Racing Contest that is based around our ARC22 Horses. It will be available to all Current Kenwood Racing Group Members and anyone who has previously been a Kenwood Racing Group Member. Please look for an email from contest@kenwoodracing.com later this evening
• Kenwood Racing Group Member Mike Perullo sent us this photo of Giuliana Vee’s first foal after she was retired from racing near the end of 2020. Mike sent this message to us this morning:

“FYI. Guiliana Vee was bred to The Factor and had her filly this morning. The new owner was kind enough to send me a couple of pictures. Just thought I would share them with you, and if you wanted to share with the rest of the Kenwood team.”

We are very happy that she is doing well in her new career as a Broodmare.

After a wild week of attempted claiming for our ARC22 where we lost shakes for horses from 8-way to up to 28 way we were lucky to get two new horses to add to the Stable.

• Last Saturday, we were able to add a lightly raced 3yo gelding by Twirling Candy named Bluto's Candy.  He finished an excellent 3^rd, despite a wide trip around both turns in his first turf try, beaten just a neck for 2^nd, and less than two lengths for the win.  We are looking for good things from him in the near future. 
• Earlier today we were also able to Claim Tetragrammaton, a 3 year old gelding who was making his first start.  He finished 4^th about 8 lengths from the winner who broke the track record in the race. We look forward to both of them providing some exciting action for our Group Members.
• Life On the Edge will be entered on Tuesday for a race at Penn National on Friday March 4^th.  After the race, she will be given some R&R on the farm before the Spring Turf season begins.
• Fire's Finale is well at Overbrook farm where he is getting a brief rest. He will begin training again in Mid-March to get ready to race this Spring.
• U Kant Whip It is doing well at Overbrook Farm in Colts Neck, while getting some R & R before turf season this spring.  He is ready to begin some light training next week.
• Our Liam’s Map Colt and our Runhappy Colt are both doing excellent at at Manuden Farm in Ocala.  See the stunning photo of Lisa Limon’s colt who will be HIP #577 at the March OBS two-year olds in training Auction.
• Tracy Ann’s Legacy impressive career with Kenwood Racing came to an end on Saturday when she was claimed at Gulfstream Park after a 2^nd place finish.  She missed the win by a matter of inches in a close photo.  Her Kenwood career spanned about 1 ½ years with multiple Allowance wins and 2 Stakes Placings.  She earned over 150K for the stable and brought a lot of excitement to our 2020 Active Racing Group.  We all will miss her and wish her the best of luck with her new connections
• The Ghost of N Y was retired from racing after his last race.  He is perfectly healthy but just was not cutting it as a racehorse and we are happy that he has been accepted to a 6-8 month exercise study at the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center sponsored by the PA Racing Commission. During the study, he will receive top quality care (more like spoiled from what we are told) and the New Bolton Center will work towards rehoming him for a riding career at the conclusion of the study. It’s the best outcome we could have asked for him as he will have a comfortable second career. Huge thanks to our Racing Manager Scott Schaub for working to get him accepted top this program.
• Lisa Limon and her Palace Malice filly both well at Hidden Brook Farm.
