  • Giuliana Vee got in a great spot with a perfect post this evening at Penn National and took advantage of it, sitting just off the early pace in 5th, making a move on the far turn to gain contention, and finally wearing down the leader (who had the advantage of a long uncontested lead) in the final stride to win by a neck in a photo finish. It was an exciting win for this honest, hard trying filly after several close on-the-board efforts. After her last effort at Laurel Park, we said “She’d been off several months and unable to train much at Penn while no racing…The race should clearly have her fit and ready for her next start and we expect a big effort next time at Penn in a few weeks” and tonight she delivered on that prediction. Sometimes it takes time with horses; there’s an old saying “there’s 1 way to win a race and 100 ways to lose one”. Tonight things went her way and she got the job done. Hopefully she’ll build on this and have a good summer for us. We’re certainly off to a fine start for the second half of the year overall, with a 2nd and two wins in July so far.
  • Seven Seven had another nice breeze Monday at Monmouth Park, as he approaches his debut. Doing excellent. Here’s a training video from Monday.

  • Pango entered and expected to run this Friday, July 10th at Penn National. Didn’t come up as easy as we’d have hoped and a full field but as long as he keeps doing well, we plan to run.
  • No Good Deed will be entered Friday for a race next week at Penn National, doing excellent.
  • Rapstorerocks excellent out of his nice win last week at Penn National. A hearty congratulations to all the owners, including our partners Degaetano and Pastore Inc. whose owner, Ralph Pastore, named this handsome horse! He’s nicely positioned for a good season at Penn now and should run back towards the end of the month.
  • New Found Treasure good out of an excellent 2nd at Penn National. Ran hard and well despite coming back a bit quick on just 10 days rest. She should be fit and ready for distance grass races all summer now.
  • Life on the Edge good out of her race at Delaware Park, beaten just 2 lengths for the win in a much improved effort. Kelly Breen feels confident she’ll run very well at Monmouth next time.
  • Fire’s Finale excellent out of a fine debut at Gulfstream. Off this nice effort we have even more reason to believe he’s a talented horse and we are looking forward to an exciting career with him. Congratulations to all his owners!
  • Our Liam’s Map – Lisa Limon foal well at Hidden Brook Farm in Ky. Hard to find a better looking horse than this. Lisa is back in foal and doing well and so far it’s been nothing but good news for this group.

  • We are very pleased to announce that group #59 was totally sold out in record time. We had an online drawing Monday evening with 10 interested people for the one available share for non-Triple Crown Club members. Congratulations to Co-Owner Seven Fliegelman, who will be the final member of this exciting group. The Candy Ride (ARG) filly is at Monmouth Park and training towards her debut. See video.
  • Given the exceptionally high level of interest in owning another 2 year old from our owners, we will be attending the OBS July 2yo sale next week looking for one or two more horses for the stable. This will be the final opportunity for this year to purchase a nice two year old at public auction. The under tack show began today and was very sparsely attended. Not many people are going to make the trip to Ocala in July at the moment and everyone is anticipating an incredible buyer’s market. Stay tuned and thanks for your support!
  • Monmouth Park opened with a full weekend of exciting racing featuring large fields, competitive racing, and good horses. Lots of new trainers and jockeys on hand this year. There are some significant limitations given the COVID-19 virus (read TDN article), but racing has returned to the Jersey Shore.
