Wow, we have a lot of great photos and some entry news today! It’s been a tough time for everyone. You are all in our thoughts, but this too shall pass and there will be better days ahead. We are looking forward to a fun summer and in the meantime, we are pleased our horses are training and running and giving the owners something exciting to look forward to every time they race!

- First, enjoy this photo of our beautiful Laoban colt, on the track and back in training at Overbrook Farm in New Jersey. He had a little R&R post sale and now will train there and then go into Belmont Park to train until Monmouth opens.
- Lookinlikeaqueen was entered today at Gulfstream Park and the race went for Sunday. A large tough group, she got the unfavorable #10 post in an 11 horse field, but she’s doing well since getting sick two weeks ago. Maybe lost a little fitness since then, we’ll see, but coming off a nice win and no other place to run her so whatever happens here, she gets one under her belt and is sharp and ready for the next one. That all said, she comes off a nice win and is a very honest filly so with a decent trip can run well here too.
- Trilby had a really solid maintenance work today at Gulfstream Park, she’s doing excellent and is ready to run off her good debut. She will be entered tomorrow for next week at Gulfstream. Take a look at this photo trainer Ron Spatz took of her yesterday morning after training, “getting spoiled” as he put it. Who wouldn’t like to get a nice bath while being hand fed!
- Rapstorerocks doing well and will be entered Friday at Gulfstream Park
- Pango was plain outrun today at Gulfstream Park, finishing 7th. He was up close to a fast pace early, checked and dropped back. It was a super tough field for the level (as most races are now anywhere they are still running) and not his preferred distance. The race was run in a sizzling 1:10; he needs more distance and a slower pace. He’s fine out of his race and galloping towards his next start.
- Life on the Edge good out of a super breeze at Palm Meadows, will work again this weekend as she approaches her 2020 debut.
- Our super 2yo out of Exchanging Fire will ship to trainer Ron Spatz at Gulfstream Park this weekend to train towards his debut. When Monmouth Park opens we still plan to bring him up north to race this summer.
- New Found Treasure, Giuliana Vee and No Good Deed all well at Penn National, waiting for races for them somewhere.
- Night of Idiots absolutely terrific and we will keep her in training at Golden Gate Fields with trainer Jonathan Wong for now.
General News
- As usual, you can find updated entry information on your horses at Equibase or our entries page on our website.
- Lisa Limon was bred to top young sire Palace Malice and will be checked shortly to see if she’s back in foal. She and her foal by Liam’s Map are both doing great, see photos of them in a beautiful paddock at Hidden Brook Farm.
- Last but certainly not least, many people will recall a very nice colt named You Betcha we purchased back in 2018. He made one start in NY, was injured training a few weeks later and had to be retired. We donated him to Re-Run to rehab and find him a good home. They did their usual great job and he’s having a wonderful life now as a jumper (see these amazing photos Kelly Breen just sent along). This horse always had a wonderful, fun personality; we loved him and while it didn’t work out for him (or us) as a racehorse, that’s a short part of any horse’s life and it’s heartwarming to see him prospering in his new home-career. Kenwood Racing is committed to finding good, safe, happy homes for our horses when their racing days are over. The photos really speak for themselves.
