A lot of news to start off June.

• First of all a big welcome to the newest addition to our stable as we claimed Montauk Summer on Saturday May 27^th at Monmouth Park for our Arc23 Group 90 (see photo).  He has 4 wins from 6 tries over the Monmouth Park Turf course during his career and we are looking forward to some good things to come from him this season.
• Brit's Candyman had a nice work at Penn National on Wednesday and trainer Mark Salvaggio is very happy with his progression.   He was entered today for a five furlong Turf Sprint at Penn National on Thursday June 8^th and gets top rider Tyler Conner in a full field of ten.  He is currently 6-1 and we wish a lot of luck to the ARC23 Group and our Partner Peter Castellano of Paterpop Racing.

• Red Head Italian has been doing great with her training and I have included Scott’s report to Group 91 Below

Another week, and another registered breeze for your new 2YO, RED HEAD ITALIAN!  She worked in company with a pair of 2YO’s fillies this morning, pushing her head in front down the lane to register the “Bullet Breeze” at 3F today at Monmouth Park; meaning she had the fastest breeze time at that distance! I have included the Equibase Workout Notification below.  The important thing to note about this breeze however isn’t the time, it was how she did it; well within herself, but eager to do more as the work progressed. Red Head Italian showed us her speed at the 2YO sale with her 10.1 breeze, but she is starting to show the mental aptitude as well when it’s time to work.  She has come out of the work well so far, and fingers crossed she continues to progress each week. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.

• Palace Malice / Lisa Limon 21 filly has officially been named Lisa’s Palace a name suggested by long time Kenwood Group member and supporter Cyn L. I have included Scott’s report to the group today after her 2^nd timed breeze.

Lisa’s Palace registered another breeze this morning, going in company with a pair of other 2YO fillies in Kelly’s Barn (including Kenwood’s Red Head Italian). She did it all well within herself, with no urging from the rider and a strong gallop out through the wire. She stopped the clock in 36:40 for the 3F workout, and I have included the Equibase Workout Notification below. LP continues to do everything asked of her and is progressing nicely in her short time with Kelly’s team. She has come out of this work in good order so far, and fingers crossed she can continue to move forward on a weekly basis through June!

• We will be attending the June OBS with the Under Tack show beginning on June 5^th through June 10^th and the actual Sale on June 13^th – 15^th.  We will be looking for one or two value horses to add to our stable as well as watching two of our Yearling Pinhook Group 88 horses sell.  See Nick deMeric’s comments below.

“They are on the sale OBS June ground, Robb, prepping the next couple of days. The Maximus Mischief/Port of Indy filly is showing most of the two right now. The Sharp Azteca/Reign Suzanne filly is a big, good looking lass, but has not shown a lightening turn of foot thus far. So far so good, anyway.”
Best, Nick.

• Wheelingndealing had an easy solo workout today at Monmouth Park, going 4F in :54.  As Kelly stated when catching up this afternoon, “just a fitness workout; stress free”. We’ll continue to get some conditioning back into her off the layoff, before looking for a sprint race hopefully later in June. She has run well on turf and the Tapeta surface at Gulfstream, so we should have some options when she is ready.
