General News
- One unique and exciting value priced filly joins the Kenwood Racing barn, hip #318 from the Fasig-Tipton 2yo sale in Maryland. Our team scoured the sale looking for high quality horses at attractive prices and at the end, came close on several of our top choices but were unwilling to pay top dollar in a strong market. We were very fortunate to get what we did, group #59 was offered to our Triple Crown Club members today and if there are any shares left, all other co-owners will have a first-come, first served opportunity beginning Friday. Stay tuned!
- Our next online event via GoToMeeting will be held Thursday, July 2nd at 7:30pm. The meeting will offer a status report for all your horses, the latest updates on the racing season at Monmouth Park which begins the following day, plus a discussion of the just concluded Fasig-Tipton 2 year old sale and an opportunity for your comments and questions.Please join us!
- Monmouth Park opens for live racing this Friday, a fun summer ahead!

- New Found Treasure was an excellent 2nd this evening at Penn National. The heavily favored winner got loose on a long lead and she just couldn’t run her down but she was clear of the rest of the large field while doing everything right from the far outside post. Ran hard and well despite coming back a bit quick on just 10 days rest. She’s much better on the turf and while she tried on the dirt last winter and did manage one win and several placings, she should be fit and ready for distance grass races all summer now.
- Giuliana Vee gets in the entries at Penn National next Wednesday, a great spot, a perfect post, no excuses here, just needs to fire her best and get a decent trip to make it to the winner’s circle.
- Rapstorerocks runs Friday in a good spot at Penn National; if he runs back to his last race and gets a decent trip he has a great shot to end up in the winner’s circle
- No Good Deed doing well, she didn’t get in the same race Giuliana Vee got in at Penn National (we entered both and the race overfilled). Hopefully the same race will come back for her next week, she’s doing excellent.
- Seven Seven good out of another fine work at Monmouth Park. He’s making steady progress towards his debut which should come towards the end of July. He’ll have some gate work now as he approaches his debut.

- Life on the Edge good out of her race at Delaware Park, beaten just 2 lengths for the win in a much improved effort. The difference was the very unfavorable inside post, which meant she was stuck on the rail and pressured throughout. When she finally got some running room in the stretch she rebroke nicely and ran hard to the wire. With an outside post and a different trip here, she was the winner. That’s literally just the luck of the draw. She was not claimed (as we expected she wouldn’t be) and we are glad because she’s honestly a much better horse on the turf and despite a rough start to her 3 year old season she’s sound and has talent. Kelly Breen feels confident she’ll run very well at Monmouth Park next time.
- Fire’s Finale excellent out of a fine debut at Gulfstream Park. Off this nice effort, we have even more reason to believe he’s a talented horse and we are looking forward to an exciting career with him. Congratulations to all his owners!
- Pango arrived to trainer Mark Salvaggio at Penn National from Gulfstream Park in search of softer spots than he has run in recently. He’s well and happy, see photo.
- Our Liam’s Map – Lisa Limon foal well at Hidden Brook Farm in Ky. Hard to find a better looking horse than this. Lisa is back in foal and doing well and so far it’s been nothing but good news for this group.
