Big win for Life On the Edge, many workouts & training videos

  • Competitive Edge filly Life On the Edge was placed in the right spot at Monmouth Park for her 2nd career start and won easily and impressively as the heavy favorite under Paco Lopez; going right to the lead at the start, repelling a bid from two horses on the turn, and drawing away in the stretch to win by 5 widening lengths under wraps.

 

 

She galloped out 15+ lengths ahead of the field and returned to the winner’s circle to get her photo taken with a very large crowd of Kenwood owners & their friends. 

 

 

A hearty congratulations to the members of our milestone group #50 on the debut win for a very talented filly. Enjoy this great Vimeo clip of her saddling in the paddock before the race and returning to the winner’s circle afterwards

 

 

After a slow start to the meet, we have now had a 3rd, a 2nd and a win in our last three starts at Monmouth Park. This is a business of hot and cold streaks; savvy owners understand that and are in it for the long run. It’s days like these that make the game worth playing; congratulations to trainer Kelly Breen and his hardworking team and all the members of the Kenwood Racing family who were on hand at Monmouth or watching and enjoying from afar.

 

  • Into Mishief filly Giuliana Vee doing super at Monmouth Park, trained great every day this week after a nice break at the farm

 

 

Folks, they are raceHORSES not racecars, they all develop at their own pace. Life On the Edge had a meltdown in her debut and was the easiest of winners today, Giuliana Vee needed a few weeks at the farm. It’s a process that requires patience and perseverance. We think Giuliana Vee has a shot to be a very nice runner, and being by Into Mischief, the leading sire in the world this year, if she has ability on the racetrack the sky’s the limit as far as her residual value too.

 

  • Smarty Cat (Overanalyze group #53) and Rapstorerocks (Red Rocks (IRE) group #54) worked fast and well together yesterday (see works below) and expected to work again next week as they approach their debuts.  Here’s a Vimeo clip of both of them training together yesterday (you can hear the clockers calling out the work time in the background)

 

 

A lot of action ahead with our two year old crop, this is the time of year many-most of our two year olds are approaching their debuts, stay tuned for more winner’s circle celebrations to come.  

  • Magic Musketier and More Ice breezed at Los Alamitos and Starring John Wain breezed at Del Mar this week (see below). All good out of their works. All three doing super, as is Annie’s Candy in northern California, who should run later this month at his favorite track, Golden Gate Fields.
