General News

• Three wins from three starts this month gives Kenwood Racing 19 wins for 2020 out of 92 starts, impressive stats indeed but note we began the year 2 for 38 when almost all tracks were shut down during COVID and it was almost impossible to find the right spots for horses. Thus Kenwood Racing has been winning at a 30%+ clip for the entire second half of the year, a nearly legendary percentage for such an extended period of time. We’ve won races at tracks up and down the east coast, from claiming races at Penn National to feature allowances and stakes at Monmouth, Parx, and Gulfstream Park. Congratulations to trainers Kelly Breen, Mark Salvaggio and Ron Spatz and their entire teams, as well as to all the riders and the members of Kenwood Racing family. The best is yet to come in 2021!!!
• You are invited to Kenwood Racing's on-line meeting, Thursday December 17, 2020 at 7:30pm.  This meeting will introduce the management changes at Kenwood Racing, including a new member of our team and give you an opportunity to hear from trainer Kelly Breen. We will also provide an update on all horses and groups and Kenwood's plans for 2021.  In addition, there will be some surprise announcements and a raffle of a special trophy from Life on the Edge's win on August 14 at Monmouth Park for Group 50 Co-Owners.  It is an ideal opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your group, a particular horse, Kenwood Racing or the industry in general.

While a reservation is not required to join, letting us know that you expect to attend ahead of time would be appreciated. 

Note: since this meeting will discuss information that is considered confidential, it is for invitees only and will not be recorded for future use.

• Thought everyone might enjoy a story today on old friend New Found Treasure, who is enjoying a safe and happy retirement thanks in large part to the efforts of one of her Kenwood Co-Owners, Wendy Slocombe who shared the following with us.... “Attached is my update on lovely New Found Treasure who is adored by her new owner and admired by all. She is out every day with pasture mates. She really has been more of a star than I had hoped. Please print my letter in all or as much as you see fit to others. Because you offered her for private sale and subsequently retired her sound the sky is the limit”. It’s owners like John and Wendy that people rarely hear about who are the heart and soul of our game, they are in it for the love of the horse and always put the horse first.

• Fire's Finale great out of his win in the Pa. Nursery stakes at Parx and arrived safely in Ocala yesterday for a brief and richly deserved bit of R&R. A little turnout in a nice paddock and back in training end of next month.
• Adhwaa excellent out of her maiden win last week at Laurel Park, so good in fact that we are considering entering her next week for a race back on two weeks rest at Aqueduct. Stay tuned.
• Tracy Ann's Legacy on target for the Abundantia Stakes on January 1^st at Gulfstream Park. While stake races at Gulfstream are almost always incredibly competitive, she’s earned her way here after a terrific season for us and the timing should be perfect. She’s excellent out of her victory and we are looking forward to another successful year with her in 2021. Tracy Ann has had a terrific career with 8 wins, 6 seconds and 3 thirds from 21 career starts and lifetime earnings over $225,000 to date. Claimed for just $22,000 at Monmouth in July, she’s earned several times that for us already and we think the best is yet to come with her.
• Life On the Edge training well at Overbrook Farm. The brief bit of R&R did her a world of good after a long campaign this year and she looks ready to get back to action now. In early January she should be ready to ship into Kelly Breen at Belmont Park and if all goes well she’ll be running in New York this winter.
• Seven Seven is expected to join Life On the Edge in training at Overbrook farm shortly, doing excellent in his final days of R&R at Sunset Meadow Farm.
• Blu Candy will get just a couple of weeks at Sunset Meadow farm and then return to training and look for a race. She arrived safely today.
• Pango well and happy in Ocala at de Meric farm. He’s getting turnout in a nice paddock now, then daily swimming for about 30 days, and then will go back into training with the goal of having him fit and ready to return to trainer Mark Salvaggio at Penn National by the end of the winter and ready to run when the first turf races appear in the northeast next spring. He had a terrific year for us, ending with two straight impressive wins, and we are looking forward to another big year with him in 2021.
• Lisa Limon and weanling by Liam’s Map both very well in Kentucky. We’re pleased to announce Lisa will be bred to the very popular young sire Bolt d’Oro in 2021. An exceptionally fast and beautifully bred horse, Bolt d’Oro was bred to 214 mares in 2019 and his first foals to hit the sales ring averaged over $90,000 as weanlings this year. Lisa is due to foal in early March.
