Lots of action and news...
Lots of news but let’s begin with a photo of our old friend, 2011 New Jersey bred Horse of the Year Hermosillo from Barbara Luna at War Horses at Rose Bower farm in Virginia. He still looks fantastic at 15 years old, thanks in no small part due to the loving care Barbara gives him. To quote her “Once again, he comes out of every winter fatter than the year before! He’s gorgeous isn’t he? His back is as wide as a picnic table. A handsomer horse would be hard to find...”.

We are pleased to announce that groups #49 (Shake It Up Baby) & #50 (Life on the Edge) are now sold out. All remaining shares in group #49 were sold in just four days after the announcement at the Monmouth Park season kickoff party last Friday and the final share in our landmark group #50 was snapped up yesterday. All six groups offered so far in 2019 have been completely sold out! Thanks to everyone for their support of our program, including a record 18 new co-owners in 2019 so far!
It’s official! Our annual meeting this year will be June 30th at the same beautiful venue as our Jersey Shore kickoff party last Friday in Asbury Park. Everyone loved the event space, perfect for our group. This is your opportunity to see financial information on all active groups and ask any and all business questions while enjoying food and drink in a really great space with your fellow owners. Current owners only, stay tuned for more details but mark June 30th in your calendars now.
Final call if you wish to attend the Belmont Stakes, last chance to order tickets-seats. Please contact our Owner Services Manager, George Katzenberger for assistance.
Entry and horse news….
- Red Shelby runs Sunday at Golden Gate Fields. Takes a nice drop in class, smaller field, good spot. Looking for a much-improved effort here.
- Seahawk Lisa arrived safely in California and is in training at Los Alamitos with assistant trainer Don Chatlos (who prepares most of Jerry’s two year olds). We purchased her last year as a yearling and were very pleased with her progress in Ocala this winter. Looking forward to her debut this summer in California.
- Guiliana Vee (group #51), Life on the Edge (group #50), and the Shakin It Up colt (group #49, now officially with the really cool name of Shake It Up Baby) all galloping strongly and making excellent progress towards their debuts at Monmouth Park.
- Start A Fire (group #47) 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, training for their career debuts.
- A very nice work at Golden Gate for Taima The Hawk (below). Hoping to have him back in the entries shortly.
