  • Pango continued his great form since arriving at Penn National with his 2nd impressive win in a row this evening, giving Kenwood Racing 15 wins so far in 2020 (with more to come!). As previously mentioned, it was not the ideal spot for many reasons; a longer distance than his best plus a jump in class, but this was the last turf race of the year at Penn and he was training super so we took a shot and were rewarded as he sat a perfect trip under top rider Tyler Conner, took over the lead at the top of stretch and keep rolling to win in hand. Trainer Mark Salvaggio has done an absolutely exceptional job with this horse. He looked terrible in several starts at Gulfstream Park after we claimed him and has turned into a really good turf runner and a money maker. Unfortunately turf racing is coming to an end in the northeast for the season but we might be able to get one more race into him at Laurel Park or Monmouth Park and then we’ll evaluate our options. A hearty congratulations to our active racing group #58, who has three terrific runners who are all racking up the wins; Pango, Tracy Ann’s Legacy and Highwaytwentyseven. All were claimed for bargain prices and all have paid off big-time for this highly successful, fun and profitable group.

Entry news:

  • Fire's Finale runs Oct. 12th for a very nice purse at Parx which for him as a Pa. bred has a 40% bonus. He’s the logical favorite here and with his best effort and a decent trip, should be tough to beat.
  • Highwaytwentyseven gets in Oct. 12th at Monmouth Park, it’s a grass race but he will only run if it’s rained off and goes on dirt. Prediction for rain this weekend, fingers crossed as it would be an ideal spot if it comes off the turf.
  • Giuliana Vee was entered for next Friday at Penn National and the race went with a nice 7 horse field. Ready to run, good spot.

Other news:

  • Adhwaa was entered two times previously and again today and again the race did not go, it’s back up as an extra at Monmouth Park, enter Tuesday for next Saturday, and we are looking for other options elsewhere also.
  • Tracy Ann's Legacy was entered for a race next week at Monmouth Park on short rest and the race was carried over, which is good for us as it gives her a little more time, enter Tuesday for next Saturday at Monmouth Park.
  • Life On the Edge good out of her race at Monmouth Park and really 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.
  • Rapstorerocks good out of his race at Penn National, there’s a nice spot for him sprinting at the end of the month. 
  • Itsgottabemyway is ready to run, just looking for a spot for her.
  • Blu Candy has come to hand quickly at Monmouth Park. Will work again shortly. There’s a good shot she makes it to the races this fall.
  • New Found Treasure well out of her race at Penn National. Hoping to find another turf spot somewhere for her before grass racing ends in the region for the season.
  • Seven Seven enjoying a little R&R at Sunset Meadow Farm, all good.
  • Lisa Limon and weanling by Liam’s Map both very well in Kentucky.
