Hi All,

A busy day coming up with entries today at Monmouth Park and tonight at Penn National.  Also please mark your calendars for Sunday August 25th which will be the Annual Kenwood Picnic at Monmouth Park on NJ Thoroughbred Festival Day.

Lisa’s Palace has been training well and is entered today in Race 3 at Monmouth Park (see breeze and race info below and pp’s attached above) .  Scott’s prerace comments are below.

Hello ARC24,

   It’s RACE DAY for LISA’S PALACE, as she runs in Race 3 today at Monmouth Park; an 8.5-furlong turf route, with a scheduled Post Time of 2:57 PM! She gets apprentice jockey, Melissa Iorio in the saddle, who breezed Lisa’s Palace last weekend and has some familiarity with her. She coming off an okay effort in her first try back on turf since last year,  but it better suited for this two-turn race, and is coming into the race doing well. She is a longshot on the ML at 20-1 odds, but has run well on turf going two-turns against better competition, and a repeat of that effort could win today. Our former ARC24 runner, #7-Butterfly Queen, is the ML favorite at 5/2 odds, and coming back on 6 days rest to the level she won at last out, after being claimed away from us. There is not a lot of early speed on paper and Lisa’s Palace likes to come from off-the-pace, so we could see her forwardly placed this afternoon with a slower pace expected on the front end. Saving ground will be the key, and hopefully a clean break puts LP in the perfect stalking trip heading into the first turn. I have attached the PP’s for you use today, and good luck to ARC24 and Kenwood Partners! Let’s get lucky!

 

Lisa's Palace (3-Year-Old Filly)

Time: 37:60 Breezing
Track Condition: Fast
Surface: Dirt
Rank: 30/63

 

Miti Fast Flower is entered in Race 7 at Penn National going one mile on the main track (see race info below and pp’s attached above).  Scott’s pre-race comments are below.

Hello Group 94,

   Coming back on just seven days rest, MITI FAST FLOWER is right back in the starting gate tonight for the night cap at Penn National, Race 7; Post Time at 8:39 PM! Stretching out to two turns for the first time tonight, she’ll contest a short field of six going 1 Mile on the main track. Miti Fast is 9/2 on the ML, and gets Anthony Salgado in the irons. There is not much early speed in the race on paper, and Miti Fast Flower has shown gate speed to be able to break on top against this group. Regardless of having the lead or stalking the lead, we are hopeful Miti Fast can get more comfortable with the race pace going two turns, while still conserving enough energy to make a run down the stretch. She has come out of her race last week with good energy in the mornings, and Mark wouldn’t have entered her in this spot if he didn’t think she was capable of coming back with a good effort. Good luck to Group 94 and Kenwood Partners, and let’s get a little bit of racing luck tonight! Past Performances are attached for your use.
