Another great week for Kenwood runners, which began with another win at Delaware Park on September 2nd. Freshened up off a fine effort on July 10th (finished 2nd, placed 1st), Titanium Jo came into the feature allowance event at Delaware Park sharp and ready and did not disappoint. She stalked the early leaders near the back of the pack for most of the race, making a sweeping move on the far turn to gain contention, and drawing away inside the 16th pole to win by nearly 2 lengths. Her third career victory in the $36,000 feature race pushed her purse earnings over $90,000 and gave Kenwood a great start to the final month of what has been a super summer season.  Jockey Gabriel Saez, who was aboard first time starter JW Racer for an impressive win the previous week at Delaware Park, came up with another solid ride and sent a happy group of Kenwood owners into the winner's circle for the 2nd Wednesday in a row. Kudos to trainer Steve DiMauro for a fine training job with this nice filly. We did right by her by giving her a little time off after her last race and she did right by us with another impressive win!  When you treat them like living beings instead of like machines, your patience is usually well rewarded. The next start for Titanium Jo is expected to be in one of two $150,000 stakes events at Parx on either October 3rd or October 10th.

Friday September 4th featured a solid 3^rd by the hard-trying Video Mov at Monmouth Park, followed by a going away 8 length win for PJ’s Enigma at Penn National, her first win for Kenwood after a number of disappointing races. Video Mov is as solid a runner as you can ask for. Having claimed him back for just $12,500 and now had a close 4^th for $25,000 and a decent 3^rd for $20,000, he’s obviously worth the $ we paid and we’re in the driver’s seat with him. A slight drop in class and he should get the job done next time. As for PJ, she does have ability and is capable of winning races for us, as she proved with her win, albeit against a few overmatched runners (keep yourself in the best company and your horses in the worst company, remember!?).

Looks like an allowance race is on tap at Parx for either September 13th or 22^nd for Long May You Run, as the Banjo Picker Stakes was not used at Parx. He's doing great and is ready for a top effort.

Another excellent workout for Title Fight at Gulfstream Park this week, best work of the day all under wraps. We are just looking for somewhere to run him after two races failed to go. 

A fine morning of training for all our two year olds at Monmouth Park on Saturday, September 5th. It looks like five of the two year olds are right on target to run this month or early October. For some updated possible debut dates for them, take a look at our Entries page…

Kenwood Racing ends the week with 15 wins for 2015, and with the 3^rd and two big wins this week is exactly 50% in-the-money for the year. 

Good to hear that American Pharoah is still pointing for the Breeder's Cup, after a very game 2nd in the Travers at Saratoga. If all the horses pointing for the Breeders Cup Classic make it to the race, it will go down as one of the greatest showdowns of modern times!
