Sharing a priceless photo taken by Ellen Gaynor at Monmouth Park at Friday morning training of Diamond Play giving Kelly Breen’s asst trainer John Attfield a kiss. As you can see in the photo, she’s in great flesh, happy and healthy and ready for her season debut at Monmouth just as soon as a suitable race comes up for her (probably May 19th will be the first possible entry but we are ready to run anytime now).
Two event announcements, please note! If you wish to attend the Belmont Stakes, NOW is the time to order tickets-seats. Kenwood is happy to assist you with seating arrangements, contact George@Kenwoodracing.com. Please note, every year if there’s a Triple Crown on the line people ask for help with seating at the last minute. Once the seats are sold there’s nothing we can do. Triple Crown or no, the Belmont Stakes is an absolutely great day of world -class racing. NOW is the time to reserve good seats if you wish to attend.
Our annual meeting this year will be June 30th, most likely at the same beautiful venue as our season kickoff part last Friday in Asbury Park. Everyone loved the event space, perfect for our group, so we hope to be able to the annual meeting there as well. Stay tuned for more details but mark June 30th in your calendars now.
A nice work this morning for Vibrant Spirit at Gulfstream (below). She returned from a brief layoff on the farm a few weeks ago and Ron Spatz says she’s really coming to hand now.
Seahawk Lisa will ship from Ocala to Jerry Hollendorfer at Santa Anita this week.
Start A Fire will ship from Ocala to Kelly Breen at Monmouth Park in about three weeks. At that point all our two year olds will be at the track in training for their career debuts.
Almost our entire California contingent worked on Sunday at Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields (below). All doing well and pointing to races this month (except More Ice, pointing to a stake at Santa Anita June 2nd). NOT shown in the listed works below (because they don’t record 2 furlong works) is the first work for group #52 two year old Preacher, but we DO have videos of Bullion’s super work today Preacher’s fine early work as he points towards his career debut this summer, take a look….
