• Tracy Ann's Legacy good out of an impressive wire to wire win in the feature race on opening day of the premier Gulfstream Park winter meet yesterday. This super-successful claim offers a couple of ‘teachable moments’. First, as explained many times, much of racing is the trip. Yesterday, she broke like a shot and Paco played ‘catch me if you can’ for the entire race. Last time, she broke slowly, never made the lead, and was a tiring and well beaten 4^th (despite trying hard every step of the way). People have trouble understanding how a horse can look so good in one race and so bad in another because they think of them as machines that should have a similar speed number every race. When a horse like this makes the lead by themselves, they are very very tough to run down, if they get into a speed battle early they frequently tire badly and stop to a walk.

Second, this filly has an absolutely awful way of moving; she looks like an old-fashioned eggbeater walking, galloping, and running, her legs going sideways. Most horses who move like this don’t make it to the races or run a couple of times and have to be retired because they can’t physically stand up to the rigors of training. There’s a colt on the early Derby trail for next year featured in The Blood-Horse last week with a similar way of going. You’d never buy horses like these at a sale and rightfully so, because 95%+ aren’t going to stand up to training.100% of all the two year olds we’ve purchased at sales have started and over 90% have won because we avoid horses who move like this as unproven youngsters, but every so often there’s one that disproves the rule because they are raceHORSES not raceCARS. Once they make it to the races and demonstrate soundness and ability, you don’t worry so much about pedigree, conformation, etc. because the results speak for themselves. Tracy Ann has already had a terrific career, sound and talented with her 8^th career win yesterday, along with 6 seconds and 3 thirds from 21 career starts and career earnings over $225,000 to date. Once they hit the track, some beautifully conformed horses with terrific pedigrees have zero talent or break down and some horses who move like an eggbeater are fast and sound. You play the odds but with living, breathing animals you just never know. Occasionally you see a tennis player with an unorthodox swing, a basketball player with a horrible shooting motion, a baseball pitcher with a really odd way of moving his arm who make it in the big leagues. You wouldn’t teach anyone to move like they do, but for them it works.

• Adhwaa was entered this morning and finally a race went for her. She runs Sunday in a 9 horse field at Laurel Park with a top rider. She’s doing excellent, sitting on a big effort here with a repeat of her last (a fast closing 2^nd at Parx last month). Owners are permitted on site at Laurel Park, let us know if you plan to attend.
• Life On the Edge shipped to Rory Huston at Overbrook Farm to resume training, arrived safely and went right out to the track and trained a mile this. The brief bit of R&R did her a world of good after a long campaign this year and she looks ready to get back to action now. After about 30 days she should be ready to ship into Kelly Breen at Belmont Park and if all goes well she’ll be running in New York this winter.
• Fire's Finale got the worst possible post #1 in an overflow 15 horse field for the Pa. Nursery Stakes at Parx next Monday (the exact opposite draw to Tracy Ann above who drew the perfect post). He gets the leading rider at Parx, Mychel Sanchez, has been training exceptionally well for this and comes into it fresh and fit with an experience edge over most of these. In a field this large especially breaking from the rail it’s all about the trip he gets (as it is with most races but even more so here). It should be an exciting day and hopefully a good ending to a great two year old year for him. Please email George@kenwoodracing.com if you plan to attend. Remember Covid restrictions can change day to day in terms of access so please check with us before you go to Parx, at the moment owners ARE admitted. After the race, Fire’s Finale will head down to Ocala for a little R&R to have him fresh and fit for a big three year old campaign next year.

• Tracy Ann's Legacy ran them off their feet under Paco Lopez in the opening day feature race at Gulfstream Park today, making the lead and never looking back to win going away by better than 3 lengths. She came into the race doing really well and when she drew the favorable outside post we knew with a good break she’d be very tough to beat despite facing a highly competitive field. As explained so many times, much of racing is the trip and we got it here as she broke like a shot and Paco played ‘catch me if you can’ for the entire race. Tracy picked up a very generous $28,900 winning purse as a Florida bred, her second win in four starts since being claimed for just $22,000 in July at Monmouth Park (she was 2^nd in an allowance and 4^th in a stake in her other two starts for us). You couldn’t possibly dream up a better start to Gulfstream’s premier meet than winning the opening day feature race, or a better start to the final month of what has been an outstanding year for Kenwood runners with 17 wins from 90 starts and counting. A huge congratulations to trainer Kelly Breen and his hard-working crew and all the happy owners in our incredibly successful active racing group #58!

You can see past performances for the nominees attached (these are all horses nominated for the race, not all of them will actually run). He’s had a great two year old campaign with an amazing 6 starts to date, all good efforts including a win in his most recent race, a real tribute to his soundness and determination.

We’ll begin with a little ‘teachable moment’ about the claiming process using our old friend Highwaytwentyseven, who was claimed from us last month after a very successful summer with Kenwood Tacing and yesterday finished a dull 7^th in his first start for his new owners (below). He was the strong 2^nd choice in the race and like so many horses do after leaving our care, regressed under new ownership. History shows very very few horses do as well for the new connections as they did for us. We know when the time has come to move on, plain and simple. Of course there are exceptions, but if you take a look at all horses claimed from us over the years here and then look up their post Kenwood Racing results by typing their names in the search box on the upper right here, the numbers will speak (loudly and clearly) for themselves…

Highwaytwentyseven finished 7th beaten by 10 1/4 lengths, on November 18, 2020, at PARX RACING in Race 2.
Off odds: 2.70

It’s been a great year for us and as 2020 winds down to a few final races we look forward to our new horses-groups beginning in January or February. In the meantime, hopefully we’ll have a couple more wins to add to our totals before the end of the year with our current runners. Thanks to everyone for your support, we look forward to another very successful and fun year with you in 2021!

• Fire's Finale had a fast and more important, exceptionally good work at Belmont Park. Not only was it the best work of the day at the distance time wise, but he did it well within himself. When you consider he’s not shown a lot of early speed in his races, that makes the quick time all the more impressive. Trainer Kelly Breen chose to pass up an allowance race a couple of weeks ago to give him a little time between his race last month and his scheduled start in the Pa. Nursery Stakes Dec. 7th and it appears to have really benefited him. Younger horses, particularly horses bred to mature and go longer distances like Fire’s Finale and Seven Seven, can show dramatic improvements at this stage. Sometimes a little R&R at the farm or a little time between races can do wonders. We can’t guarantee what he’ll do in the stake next month or what the future will bring for him, but he literally could not be coming into the race any better.

• Adhwaa was entered for a race at Aqueduct and it did not go. There’s a race to enter in this Wednesday for next week at Parx (where she ran so well last time). Hopefully that one will go for her, she’s doing really well.
• Pango is doing excellent since arriving in Florida so we went ahead and entered him and the race went at Gulfstream Park West for Wednesday. Like all grass races, a full field and competitive group, but he fits well in here and if he runs back to his last 3 excellent races at Penn (2 wins and a flying 2^nd), he has a real shot. If it comes off the grass he will NOT run.

• Fire's Finale right on track for the Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes for Pa. bred 2 year olds at Parx on December 7^th. After that we plan to send him down to Ocala for some richly deserved R&R. Timing should be perfect to have him ready for a big three year old season next year after a brief layoff. He is scheduled to work tomorrow at Belmont.
• Three nice photos of Seven Seven taken this weekend, enjoying his R&R at Sunset Meadow farm. Note he’s turned out in a small paddock and really flourishing. Horses need a little down time to revitalize, just like people do. He and Life On the Edge (below) will be back in training soon, all the better for the R&R.
• Life On the Edge well at Sunset Meadow farm. You can see a video of her outside in a small paddock. A little turnout while the weather is still good and back in training before the end of the year.
• Lisa Limon and weanling by Liam’s Map both very well in Kentucky. We’ll be announcing our plans for breeding her back in 2021 shortly.

Congratulations to all the winners and all the runners on a very exciting Breeder’s Cup weekend!!!

This is the time of year when most quality racing stables, ourselves included, look to sell – retire our less productive runners to open up some space to purchase new horses in the coming year via claiming, private purchases, and at the two year old sales this winter. We are very pleased to have found good homes for several horses recently such as Giuliana Vee (read below), Rapstorerocks and Itsgottabemyway and now have our stable down to the seven runners detailed below. All of them have shown proven ability or in the case of younger horses, obvious potential. It’s been a great year for us on the racetrack and as 2020 winds down to a few final races we look forward to seeing these horses run for us next year as we add new horses-groups to the stable beginning in January or February. Hopefully we’ll have a couple more wins to add to our totals before the end of the year. Thanks to everyone for your support, we look forward to another very successful and fun year with you in 2021!

• Adhwaa good out of her excellent, fast closing 2^nd at Parx. Well back in the early going, she made a terrific late run to pass most of the field and was flying at the finish to be beaten just under a length for the. She picked up $6,000 and will earn several times that when she breaks her maiden, hopefully in her next couple of starts. Congratulations to the owners of Group #60!
• Pango shipped to trainer Ron Spatz in Florida Friday morning and arrived safely today (see attached photo). One or two races at Gulfstream, a little R&R afterwards in Ocala, and point for another successful season with Mark Salvaggio at Penn next year. As soon as he’s had a little time to settle in we’ll look for a race for him.
• We are so pleased that Giuliana Vee has been retired to such a wonderful home after a fine racing career for us. Co-Owner Mike Perullo, who named her, wrote this today…I first want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to name Giuliana Vee in the first place. Secondly, I want to thank you for your patience and the way you handled her and gave her an opportunity to be competitive. Winning her maiden race, coming from off the pace in a photo finish, is something I will never forget. Giuliana’s dad, upon hearing the news that she had been sold, emailed me this ‘Thanks Mike, it was a joy to be a part of it. Just hearing her name during a race was well worth it. Thank you for keeping our Giuliana in your heart. I guess this is a fitting day for this announcement’ (she had passed on Nov. 5,2014).

Laura Catlett, who purchased her sent us this…

Thank you Robb. I’m beyond excited to have her. Giuliana has been on my heart for a long time.

She will be in PA near Fair Hill to let down. She will go to Laura McKinney’s (Ann Merryman’s cousin) farm in Lexington to visit The Factor. Then she will come back to Maryland at Marathon Farm which is Peter Angelos’ farm. My broodmares live there. It is a spectacular farm. Krissy Close, who’s farm she will be at until February, manages my yearlings. She will send photos today or tomorrow when we get her settled in, and all along her journey. Giuliana will be loved and always have top notch care. I promise. Thank you again for trusting me with her. I’m so happy to have her. I’m going to spend the day with her tomorrow! Laura

Two races at two Pa. tracks yesterday…

• Adhwaa took a big step forward off her Kenwood debut last month (5^th) with an excellent, fast closing 2^nd at Parx. Well back in the early going, she made a terrific late run to pass most of the field and was flying at the finish to be beaten just under a length for the win (see attached chart). This race offers an excellent ‘teachable moment’ on two things we mention frequently. First, the largest part of the result is the level of the race – competition. In her debut, after none of the races we wanted to run in went for weeks, we were finally forced to run in a maiden allowance race where the competition was exceptionally tough and she was a hard-trying but well beaten 5^th. This time we found exactly the right level (maiden $40,000 claiming); good horses but a lot less tough than the previous group and the result spoke for itself. Another lesson is that the first time a horse runs, or runs after a lengthy layoff, they almost always need the race and move forward off of it. Here too, the much improved result spoke for itself in her second start off a layoff. We purchased this filly for a value price, a lot less than the $40,000 level she successfully ran in here, and off of this effort she looks like an ideal fit for winter racing for some very nice purses in NY, Pa., Maryland. She picked up $6,000 for her 2^nd today and will earn several times that when she breaks her maiden, hopefully in her next couple of starts. Congratulations to the owners of Group #60!
• Then Giuliana Vee drew a favorable post and was in a good spot but was bumped at the start, dropped far back and never fired at all, finishing a dull 8^th at Penn National. She’s a pretty honest, consistent filly, every horse has an off night (just like people do) because they are raceHORSES, not raceCARS.  We are pleased to announce that after the race she was sold privately and will take up residence as a broodmare on a lovely Pa. farm and we expect will have a long and happy life. A fine ending for fun group and a good home for a nice filly, what more could anyone ask for?

• Pango is heading to Florida for turf racing there, we expect his van to ship out tomorrow (Friday). One or two races at Gulfstream Park, a little R&R afterwards in Ocala, and point for another successful season with Mark Salvaggio at Penn National next year. He had a nice maintenance work yesterday and Mark said he’s doing well and went great.
