  • Itsgottabemyway was 9th yesterday at Parx with no real excuse. Sat a good stalking trip and flattened out turning for home. Rider said she never was comfortable on the very soft, heavy, wet grass course. She shipped to Penn National and arrived fine. Will try her on dirt there with Mark Salvaggio and hope for a better race next time. 

  • Giuliana Vee  was entered today at Penn National and the race went with a full 10 horse field. She drew a favorable post and fits well in this spot. Seems to be sitting on a winning effort if she gets the right trip and runs as well as she did in last start (a flying 2nd).

  • Rapstorerocks runs Friday at Penn National. A large field but training strongly for this. We think he’ll like the shorter distance and hopefully run well here.

  • Highwaytwentyseven ended up with a win, 2 seconds and a 4th in 5 starts for us and was both fun and profitable for our very successful active racing group #58. Congratulations to trainer Kelly Breen and his crew and the entire Kenwood team for a job well done with this horse, who was claimed from us on the final day of the Monmouth 2020 meet as expected.

  • Pango was going to be entered at Laurel Park tomorrow. An ideal grass race, one of the last possible turf races of the year, but with heavy rain all week it will be off the turf so no reason to enter (even on the turf a heavy, wet grass course would not suit him). We are considering other options with him.

  • Adhwaa was entered for Friday at Belmont Park and the race did not go. It would have been back on just under 2 weeks rest, so there’s no rush and we’ll enter in the next available spot. There’s a possible race at Parx to enter in shortly. We expect a big race from her whenever she runs as well as she’s been training.

  • Tracy Ann's Legacy was entered at Laurel Park and for the 4th time, they did not use the race. It was the 8th time we’d entered her at multiple tracks looking to run her once more before she shipped to Palm Meadows but no luck. She’s on a van to Florida today and we’ll look for a race for her there next month instead.

  • Fire's Finale training well at Belmont Park. As you can see from the 2 attached photos, he’s happy and comfortable and doing great. He will train there for his final start of 2020, the Pa. Nursery Stakes, an $80,000 race restricted to Pa. bred 2 year olds going 7 furlongs, which should be an ideal distance for him. After that we plan to send him down to Ocala for some richly deserved R&R. Timing should be perfect to have him ready for a big three year old season next year after a brief layoff.

  • New Found Treasure will be sent to the sale in Maryland the first week of December, there’s also a good possibility she’ll be sold privately before the sale.

  • Blu Candy is training forwardly and will breeze at Belmont Park in the next few days. The brief time off at the farm really did her a world of good, she’s bred to be better as she matures and it looks like she’s making genuine progress. She’s on track to make her debut well before the end of the year, perhaps even by the end of November.

  • Life On the Edge  enjoying a well-deserved bit of R&R at Sunset Meadow farm. She had 2 wins and two seconds for us this year, earning nearly $50,000. A little turnout while the weather is still good and back in training before the end of the year.

  • Seven Seven enjoying his R&R at Sunset Meadow farm also, all good. Here’s a bit of good news, his freshman sire, Laoban, is a sensation. Hopefully Seven Seven will add to his sire’s blossoming reputation next year!

  • Lisa Limon and weanling by Liam’s Map both very well in Kentucky.
