Hi All,

Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th of July Holiday Weekend with their family and friends. A quick reminder that the Annual Kenwood Picnic at Monmouth Park will be held on Sunday August 25th which is NJ Thoroughbred Day.  More details to follow in the coming weeks.

Outlaw Country has responded nicely following his thrilling dead heat win on Saturday June 23rd (see Winner’s Circle Picture attached above) and as a result we have nominated him for the Wolf Hill Stakes with a $100K purse that will be run on July 20th which is Haskell Day at Monmouth Park.  He has continued to perform very well in his races we feel he has earned the chance to try Stakes company.  We will make a final decision if he will be entered for the Race on Wednesday the 17th.  There are some other possible options at Laurel, Saratoga and Colonial Downs in Virginia if the Wolf Hill is a no go.

  Vino Limone is progressing nicely towards her racing debut later this month.  A link to her gate work on July 4th is below.   She is the outside horse going against one of Kelly’s two-year-old colts.  You can see that she was very determined to prevent him from making the lead which impressed trainer Kelly Breen.

Lisa’s Palace was going to be entered in a route race on the turf at Monmouth Park this weekend, but the race did not go and we are hoping it is brought back for the following weekend as she is ready to run.

Miti Fast Flower was scheduled to be entered for a race on July 11th at Penn National but that race also did not fill and we are looking for a spot for her as she has continued to train well according to Mark Salvaggio.

Calming Sea has returned to Monmouth Park and trainer Kelly Breen after a short stay at Sunset Meadow Farm (see photo above).  She will resume training immediately and hopefully will be entered in a race later this month.

 

Red Head Italian continues on the comeback trail after the long layup for our Group 91.

Cali Heat is doing well at Nor Mar Farm in Pennsylvania and should resume training near the end of the month.

Our Connect filly is well at Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky.  See the latest report from Sergio below.
