Lots of two year old action ahead as the summer heats up!

Title Fight gets in the 6^th race at Gulfstream Park Friday, July 10^th, about 3:30pm. This was our most precocious two year old purchase from the start; he’s been in training longer than the others and we expected a start by the end of July, so he exceeded even our expectations. That said, the vast majority of horses need a race or two to show their true ability (from Secretariat, 4^th in his debut to American Pharoah, 5^th in his debut, by far the worst races of both of their illustrious careers). However it’s still great to have our first two year old in the entries and ready to run.

Several other two year olds are not far behind Title Fight.  JW Racer was impressive at a half mile July 4th at Monmouth Park. Looking for a spot for next month if all goes smoothly. Sky Ace and Awesome Papa Al worked together at 3/8 of a mile July 4th. These are all nice colts with a promising future ahead of them! 

Mackinaw Pharoah also trained very well July 4^th. Three Arch Bay and Hardrainsgonnafall both galloped nicely, too. They were purchased in May, as opposed to the other above purchased in March and April so they are going to be ready later, but they too are doing well, as is Sonny’s Pharoah at Penn National. We really are happy with this year’s two year old crop so far!

In other news, Kenwood claimed the 3 year old filly, Huamantla, at Monmouth Park for Kenwood & group #21 on July 3rd. She ran well, a good 3^rd after pressing the early pace, and there should be a couple of nice spots for her in about 3 weeks. We are glad to have added her to our barn.

Jersey Jules was a very game 3rd at Belmont Park on July 5th, while PJ's Enigma lived up to her name, running dead last at Monmouth Park with no excuse!  It's been an odd summer so far, as Kenwood is struggling at Monmouth Park, our home base, while running very well with horses at Pimlico, Delaware, Belmont, and Penn National. Shows the ups and downs of the game very well.
