General News

We’ll begin with a little ‘teachable moment’ about the claiming process using our old friend Highwaytwentyseven, who was claimed from us last month after a very successful summer with Kenwood Tacing and yesterday finished a dull 7^th in his first start for his new owners (below). He was the strong 2^nd choice in the race and like so many horses do after leaving our care, regressed under new ownership. History shows very very few horses do as well for the new connections as they did for us. We know when the time has come to move on, plain and simple. Of course there are exceptions, but if you take a look at all horses claimed from us over the years here and then look up their post Kenwood Racing results by typing their names in the search box on the upper right here, the numbers will speak (loudly and clearly) for themselves…

Highwaytwentyseven finished 7th beaten by 10 1/4 lengths, on November 18, 2020, at PARX RACING in Race 2.
Off odds: 2.70

It’s been a great year for us and as 2020 winds down to a few final races we look forward to our new horses-groups beginning in January or February. In the meantime, hopefully we’ll have a couple more wins to add to our totals before the end of the year with our current runners. Thanks to everyone for your support, we look forward to another very successful and fun year with you in 2021!

• Fire's Finale had a fast and more important, exceptionally good work at Belmont Park. Not only was it the best work of the day at the distance time wise, but he did it well within himself. When you consider he’s not shown a lot of early speed in his races, that makes the quick time all the more impressive. Trainer Kelly Breen chose to pass up an allowance race a couple of weeks ago to give him a little time between his race last month and his scheduled start in the Pa. Nursery Stakes Dec. 7th and it appears to have really benefited him. Younger horses, particularly horses bred to mature and go longer distances like Fire’s Finale and Seven Seven, can show dramatic improvements at this stage. Sometimes a little R&R at the farm or a little time between races can do wonders. We can’t guarantee what he’ll do in the stake next month or what the future will bring for him, but he literally could not be coming into the race any better.

• Adhwaa was entered for next week at Parx yesterday and the race came back but at the wrong distance so we didn’t enter. She’s ready to run and we’re looking for a race for her anywhere in the area.
• A real shame we had to scratch Pango yesterday at Gulfstream Park. He’s doing very well and will ship to Ocala tomorrow for a little richly deserved R&R this winter.
• Blu Candy good out of her work Sunday at Belmont Park and just about ready for her debut. Trainer Kelly Breen plans to work her from the gate shortly and assuming she gets her gate card, we can start looking for a race for her.
• Tracy Ann's Legacy excellent and will be entered next week at Gulfstream Park.
• Seven Seven enjoying his R&R at Sunset Meadow farm. He is expected to go back into training right around New Years.
• Life On the Edge well at Sunset Meadow farm. Should be back in training before the end of the year.
• Lisa Limon and weanling by Liam’s Map both very well in Kentucky. We’ll be announcing our plans for breeding her back in 2021 shortly.
• Finally, enjoy this photo of Giuliana Vee with her new friends at her retirement home
