Stable Notes - March 9, 2024
Hi All,
A big welcome to Wind Ninety Nine a six year old gelding by Super Ninety Nine (see screenshot attached above from the Kenwood Website) who is know the third horse for our ARC24 group. He was claimed by us on Saturday February 24th out of the ninth race at Gulfstream Park. He has settled in well with Trainer Kelly Breen at Palm Meadows and we will be looking for a race for him near the end of the month.
Cali Heat is entered in Race 5 tomorrow Sunday March 10th at Gulfstream Park after multiple races at Penn national were not carded. He will make the trip to Maryland for this race going 5 ½ furlongs on the dirt with a field of seven.. We are hoping that today’s rain clears out quickly to provide a fast track tomorrow to take advantage of his early speed. He is currently the third pick at 4/1 and the PP’s for the race are attached above with Scott’s prerace comments below. Good luck to all Group 93 Members.
It hasn’t been easy getting CALI HEAT’S next race to go, and after Penn National dropped his potential race from their Overnights, we turned to Laurel Park and a race restricted to 3YO’s that was initially listed for this Friday. After carrying over Friday and then Saturday due to only five entries, the third time was a charm, as the race was carded for this upcoming Sunday, March 10th, at Laurel Park! The Equibase Early Entry is below; Post Time is around 2:30 PM and Cali Heat gets regular rider Angel Rodriguez in the 5.5 Furlong dirt sprint, breaking from Post Position #5, in the short field of seven runners. He has been doing well at Penn National with Trainer Mark Salvaggio, primarily galloping, but Mark did give him an easy 4F maintenance breeze at the end of last week. He gets a slight cutback in distance from his last two starts for this race, which hopefully helps with his early speed, and try to go gate to wire and get back to the Winner’s Circle.
Butterfly Queen and Calming Sea have been entered in back to back races next Friday March 15th at Gulfstream Park in races 6 and 7. See Scott’s early comments below:
Exciting news to share as both BUTTERFLY QUEEN and CALMING SEA are officially entered to run for ARC24 in the Kenwood silks next Friday, March 15th in back-to-back races! Paco Lopez takes the mount in both races breaking from the #2 Post Position, and Butterfly Queen will kick things off in Race 6 against a field of six other runners in a Mdn $25,000 turf route, going 7 ½ furlongs over two turns. It’s a short trip to the first turn in these awkward distance turf races at Gulfstream, so the inside Post Position should help with positioning for saving ground early. She got stuck wide around both turns last out, getting forced very wide turning for home, even though she was still making up ground on the leaders late. Hopefully with a better trip, we can get Butterfly Queen into the Winner’s Circle for the first time and kickoff ARC24 with a win! Next up, Calming Sea and Paco team up again in Race 7 for an 8 ½ furlong route on the synthetic Tapeta course, right back at the Clm16000 NW2L level that we claimed her from. They will break from the #2 Post Position against another short field of just six other runners, and hopefully a ground-saving trip can get her back into the Winner’s Circle, after a wide trip last out did her no favors either. She was DQ’d from the win at this same level and distance two races back and is coming off a pair of lifetime high speed figures in her last two races. Hopefully, a little step forward with Kelly and Paco can prove successful for the Kenwood Double to get ARC24 started in winning fashion! I have attached the early PP’s above for your own handicapping, and we’ll follow up next week leading into the race!
Outlaw Country ran another good race for our ARC23 Group on Saturday March 24th at Gulfstream Park. Scott’s post- race comments are below:
OUTLAW COUNTRY ran a big race today, putting away the early speed at the 1/8th Pole after sitting just off the pace, before getting passed by a closer late, to settle for another 2nd place finish. It was another strong effort from OC, but unfortunately, he just didn’t have enough in the tank late after 21.4 and 44.1 opening fractions, to hold off the eventual winner who closed quickly into the early speed. He has come out of the race in good order. We have this same Starter Allowance that comes back at the end of March that we’ll target for now, but we remain hopeful for a possible turf start in the Overnights. We will likely give him a brief R&R after his next race, to make sure he gets some well-deserved time off before the Monmouth Summer meet gets rolling in May. Regardless, we are excited for his future and looking forward to getting him back on the turf.
Miti Fast Flower has been galloping in the mornings for Trainer Mark Salvaggio at Penn National and we should be seeing her on the work tab shortly.
Red Head Italian is well at Overbrook farm and we are targeting a race at Monmouth Park on May 18th for her.
Our Vino Rosso / Lisa Limon filly continues to train well. Longtime Kenwood Group Member Cyn L was able to travel to Manuden Farm in Ocala to see her and a former Kenwood runner Bobby Blue Eyes who was a part of Group 28 back in 2016. Cyn L has supported him since his retirement from racing seven years ago. We thank her for giving him a happy second career. Her comments are below:
“Since Kenwood Racing was a former owner of Bobby Blue Eyes, I am forwarding these photos from his current job. He is helping Marco Antonio Hernandez with the training of "green" horses.” CYN L
Our yearling Connect filly is well at Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky.
Stable Notes February 24, 2024
Hi All,
A big welcome to Butterfly Queen - a 3 year old Maiden filly by Omaha Beach, Calming Sea - a 4 year old filly by Mendelssohn and Wind Ninety Nine - a 6 year old gelding by Super Ninety Nine, who are the first three horses to join the Kenwood Stable in 2024! After multiple claim attempts where we lost out on the shake, we were successful in winning two shakes last Friday and one today, and have added two, nice young fillies and s productive 6YO gelding running on the wrong surface to kick off Group 95 and our flagship ARC24 program! We are looking forward to Friday March 15th when we could see all them make their Kenwood Racing debuts!
Outlaw Country is entered later today, Saturday February 24, in Race 8 at Gulfstream Park (see details below and pp’s attached above). Looking to get our first win of 2024 Paco Lopez will ride leaving from post 7 in an eight horse field. At 9/5 he is the early favorite and with a good trip should be very tough in this spot (see Scott’s pre- race comments below). Good luck to all Group 90 ARC23 members and Trainer - Partner Kelly Breen.
OUTLAW COUNTRY is entered right back in the same Starter Allowance Optional Claiming sprint on the synthetic track, this Saturday, February 24th at Gulfstream Park! Paco Lopez is back aboard and they drew the #7 slot in a field of eight runners for Race 8on the card; Post Time is expected around 3:35 PM. Outlaw Country’s best races have been from an outside post position, which suits his off-the-pace running style better than an inside post, and should benefit him in this spot. The winner from his last race, No Deliberation, will be the one to beat again in this spot as he’s 6 for 6 over the GP synthetic track, and 6 of 7 lifetime at this 5.5 furlong distance. OC was inside of No Deliberation that day and experienced a little trouble at the break from that inside post position, which may have been the difference since No Deliberation had the first jump turning for home, and OC just couldn’t catch him even though he was closing late. It should also be noted that Outlaw Country handed No Deliberation his only loss at this distance when he beat him at Monmouth Park the race before we claimed him. There also looks to be quite a bit of early speed which should allow for an honest pace up front for OC to close into.
Cali Heat was entered for a race on February 29th at Penn National but there were not enough horses named and the race did not get carded. Trainer Mark Salvaggio said he is ready to race, and we are looking for a slot for him with a possible race at Laurel Park on Friday March 8th. We will keep you up to date once entries are taken on March 2nd.
Miti Fast Flower has joined Cali Heat at Penn National and has resumed race training. If all continues to go well, she should be ready to race again in late March or early April. We look forward to getting her back in action.
Red Head Italian is well at Overbrook Farm with Trainer Rory Huston. With the weather starting to cooperate she should begin training shortly once the Overbrook track is ready for a targeted race at Monmouth Park on May 18th.
Our Vino Rosso / Lisa Limon filly continues to train well and mature at Manuden Farm in Ocala.
The Connect filly is also well at Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky.
Stable Notes January 20, 2024
Hi All,
With the holidays behind us we are excited to unveil our ARC24 program. This is our Active Racing Club for 2024 where we will attempt to acquire multiple horses for the Group through claims or private sales beginning in late January at Gulfstream Park and running through the end of the Monmouth Park meet in September. We will have a presentation for this offering on Tuesday January 23rd at 8 p.m. Eastern to explain the Buy in process and Group procedures which will be open to all who want to attend. The purpose of the Group is to provide a lot of racing action throughout 2024 and beyond at multiple venues along the east coast but primarily based at Gulfstream Park during the Championship Meet and Monmouth Park and the Meadowlands during the entire NJ racing season.
Last year our ARC23 group had 22 races among the six horses that were in the Group with a 7-4-2 running line good for a 32% win rate and nearly 60% in the money. The Group is still active into this year as Outlaw Country continues to put up nice numbers while riding for the Kenwood Stable with 3 wins and a 2nd from 5 starts. If you want action and some nice chances to get your picture taken in the Winner’s Circle you need to check out this program for 2024. If you would like to attend the presentation, please let us know by noon on Tuesday and we will send you the invitation.
Outlaw Country has been entered in Race 3 at Gulfstream Park on Friday January 26th. This will be the first Kenwood race of the year and the beginning of the Kenwood Racing Handicap contest for 2024. The prizes will be a trophy (see picture of the 2023 trophy attached above) and $1000 credit towards any Group purchase to the Winner, $250 credit for 2nd place and $100 credit for the 3rd place finisher. This contest is open to all Current and Former Kenwood Group Members and notice will be sent to you early this week for sign up and entry.
Scott’s comments for the upcoming race are below. Good luck to all our ARC 23 members and Trainer – Partner Kelly Breen.
It’s been a slow couple weeks out of OUTLAW COUNTRY’S win to close out 2023, but he is right back in the entries for next Friday, January 26th, in Race 3 at Gulfstream Park! The same level Starter Allowance he won at last out, Paco Lopez is back aboard for the 5.5 furlong sprint on the Tapeta track with a field of seven runners. Two runners exit the same race as Outlaw Country, including the 3rd Place finisher Pico d’Oro, who was right there at the wire in the Win Photo last out. There is not a lot of early speed on paper in this race, and Paco will likely need to sit a closer trip that he did last out when he let the fast pace get away early, only to catch them at the wire. Paco is a perfect 3 for 3 riding Outlaw Country, and he knows the horse as well as anyone. If you remember back to OC’s first race in the Kenwood Silks, Paco kept him close to the early pace from the #9 Post Position, so we know Outlaw Country is capable of early speed and stalking the pace, which is the likely scenario with limited speed and the inside post position. We’ll be in touch next week leading into the race, and hoping we can start 2024 like we ended 2023 – with a win! The Equibase Early Entry Notification is below, and I have attached the early Past Performances for your handicapping!
Cali Heat was entered for a race on January 26th as well, but the race was not carded and was carried over for Wednesday January 31st giving him an opportunity for another breeze prior to the race as the weather has begun to clear up in the Northeast. We will keep you posted as to the status of the entry once available.
Red Head Italian and Miti Fast Flower are both well at Overbrook Farm with Rory Huston. We are planning a visit on Saturday February 3rd weather permitting for all who are interested.
U Kant Whip It is enjoying his new career as a family riding horse in Rhode Island. See the picture of him romping in the snow yesterday attached above. Finding our retired horses good homes is one of our prime missions.
Lisa Limon was sold on January 9th at Keeneland bringing $65K to our Lisa Limon Broodmare Group. While we will miss her, we are happy to still have two of her offspring as part of the Group. Her Vino Rosso filly is in training towards her racing career with the de Meric’s at Manuden Farm in Ocala. Her Connect filly continues to mature at Hidden Brook farm in Kentucky.

Weekly Update 11/24/23
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend to all Kenwood Partners, Group Members past and present and Friends of Kenwood. We have a lot to report including a big race later this afternoon at Tampa Bay Downs.
Boston Princess was an easy winner at Gulfstream Park last Saturday (see details below) under rider Paco Lopez. Here is Scott’s summary of the race:
What an exciting win for BOSTON PRINCESS, as she got a masterful ride by Paco Lopez from off the pace to win comfortably for her second win in the Kenwood silks for ARC23! BP broke alertly and showed her early speed before Paco pulled her back off the early pace and settled in behind the speed duel on the front end. As others started closing in on the leaders at the 3/8ths pole, Paco stayed chilly on Boston Princess and waited for a lane to open along the rail. By the Quarter Pole, the rail opened, and Paco was in perfect position to sneak through and get the first jump on the leaders turning for home. Boston Princess quickly opened up on the leaders, before some of the other closers started running, but it was too little, too late with Boston Princess ahead by 3+ lengths at the wire. She was claimed from us out of this race, so it was extra special to get the nice win on her way out. We’ll wish her well with her new connections.
Outlaw Country is entered today at Tampa Bay Downs in an Allowance Optional Claiming Race sprinting five furlongs on the beautiful Tampa turf course (see pp’s attached above and details below). He will not run for a tag and will be eligible for the Florida Bred Purse Bonus. Carol Cedeno a six-time Delaware Park Riding Champion will return to her roots in Tampa to ride today (see article below). There is a full field of ten with some tough veterans including 2019 Breeder’s Cup Juvenile Champion Storm the Court. Currently at 4-1 he will need a clean break and a good trip to come out on top in this spot. Good luck to ARC23 members and Trainer-Partner Kelly Breen.
OLDSMAR, FL—Mid-Atlantic journeywoman Carol Cedeno had mixed feelings when trainer Kerri Raven encouraged her to join the Tampa Bay Downs jockey colony this season.
“She’s always been telling me to come to Tampa. That I would do well,” said Cedeno, a six-time riding champion at Delaware Park who last competed here on a regular basis during the 2013-2014 meet. “And my agent [Mark Mace] told me almost every day I had to come here. But I was a little worried because I have to support my kids [a 14-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son] and I know how tough Tampa is.” After receiving assurances from other trainers such as McLean Robertson, Juan Arriagada and Chelsey Moysey that she is welcome in their barns, Cedeno decided to take flight, leaving her offspring in good hands with her mother and sister so they could remain with their schoolmates. Since arriving at her old stomping grounds and getting a feel for the place, Cedeno has bolstered the confidence that has enabled her to ride 1,256 career winners. “Really, I like everything about being here,” Cedeno said. Cedeno is named to ride five horses on Wednesday’s nine-race Opening Day card, which begins at 12:38 p.m. EST. The program, which includes six races on the main track and three on the turf course, has attracted 101 entrants, including 44 Florida-breds. “Some of the jockeys I knew when I was here before—Antonio Gallardo, Jose Ferrer, Willie Martinez—have received me very well, and everybody here is very friendly. “The competition is going to be tough. There are a lot of excellent jockeys here and I didn’t expect to get named on five horses,” Cedeno said. “So I’ve got more confidence that things are going to be okay. I don’t expect to be leading jockey, but I’m going to work hard in the mornings like I always do and try my best.”00 Allowance Sprint Highlight's Wednesday Card, FL-Mid-Atlantic journeywoman Carol Cedeno had mixed feelings when trainer Kerri Raven encouraged her to join the Tampa Bay Downs jockey colony this season. "She's always been telling me to come mpa. |
Without a Net is entered for a bid to break her Maiden at Penn National on Thursday November 30th at Penn National (see pp’s above and details below). Veteran jockey Jomar Torres will ride for Trainer Mark Salvaggio going five furlongs on the main track in a full field of ten with two also eligibles. She will be wearing blinkers for the first time and is currently the 2-1 morning line favorite. She has been training well and with a good trip should have a very good chance to make the Winner’s Circle. Good luck to all Group 84 members.
Cali Heat had a nice maintenance breeze last Friday morning at Penn National (see below) following his win on November 3rd. Trainer Mark Salvaggio has been very happy with Cali Heat, and he has been entered in an Allowance race for two-year olds at Penn National on Friday December 1st in the first race (see details below). Angel Rodriguez will ride to try to make it back-to-back wins for Group 93 and Trainer Mark Salvaggio in this small field of six horses.
Red Head Italian and Miti Fast Flower are both well at Overbrook Farm wit Rory Huston.
Lisa Limon has been assigned Hip #814 for the Keeneland January Sale and will go through the sales ring on Tuesday January 9th.
Her Connect filly is well at Hidden Brook Farm.
Her Vino Rosso filly has continued to progress while training at Manuden Farm.
Stable Update Week of 11/13
Hi All,
Some good news since last update.
Cali Heat broke his maiden at Penn National on Friday November 3rd (see Winner’s Circle Picture attached above). Congratulations to trainer Mark Salvaggio and all Group 93 Members. Here are Scott’s post- race comments:
It was an exciting maiden breaking WIN tonight for CALI HEAT, taking control after the opening quarter mile and opening-up to win by 6+ lengths in the end; with 12+ lengths back to 3rd Place and the rest of the field! This was considerable class relief from his first two starts, but he proved a racehorse tonight and is a 2YO winner! Cali Heat was NOT claimed from us out of this race and has cooled out well so far back at Mark’s barn. It’s not easy to win at any level in this game, especially as a 2YO, so it’s nice to see Cali Heat do it in impressive fashion.
We are looking at a couple of possibilities for his next race near the end of the month and will keep everyone posted when he is entered.
Boston Princess is entered on Saturday November 18th in Race 12 at Gulfstream Park (see details below and pp’s attached above) going one mile and seventy yards on the synthetic Tapeta track. She gets Paco Lopez in the irons in a field of ten leaving from post 7. She won over this surface back in February and has been training very well since arriving in Florida early this month. Good luck to all Group 90 ARC23 members.
Outlaw Country is well at Palm Meadows and is raring to go after his big win last month at the Meadowlands (see breeze info below). He was entered for a race this weekend, but it did not get carded. The Championship Meet at Gulfstream Park begins December 1st and we are looking for the right spot for his next entry.

Without a Net is well at Penn National with Trainer Mark Salvaggio and there may be an entry for her before the end of the month. We will update everyone when she is entered for a race.
Red Head Italian and Miti Fast Flower have settled in well at Overbrook Farm in Colts Neck while getting some time off from training to grow and mature going into their 3- year- old campaigns (see some pictures attached above taken last weekend by Scott). We are planning to visit them with some of the Group Members on Saturday morning.
Ellie’s a Riot was sold as a Broodmare prospect in the November Fasig- Tipton Sale in Kentucky on Monday and we will be watching how her new career goes in the future.
U Kant Whip It has been retired from racing and was transported to his new home with a family in Cranston Rhode Island to become a riding horse in his second career.
Montauk Summer also has been retired from racing and has found a new home on a family farm in Quakertown Pennsylvania where is will also be a riding horse.
The entire Kenwood Racing Group wish both of them well in their new homes and are pleased that they will have many happy years to come. A huge thank you to longtime Kenwood Racing family member and supporter, Jeanne Vuyosevich from Sunset Meadows Farm, who helped assist with their placements.
Lisa Limon and her Connect foal are well at Hidden Brook Farm. Her Vino Rosso filly has continued to progress while training at Manuden Farm.
Stable Update Week of 10/30
Hi All,
Happy Breeder’s Cup weekend to everyone. We are looking forward to the Viewing party tomorrow in the Turf Club at Monmouth Park where Kenwood Partners, Group Members and friends will take up more than 10% of the available seats. Should be a nice day to enjoy this special event. In addition, we have an exciting entry this evening at Penn National.
Cali Heat is entered tonight in the first race at Penn National (see details below and pp’s attached above). See Scott’s pre-race comments below:
CALI HEAT has settled in nicely and is doing great since switching barns to Mark Salvaggio at Penn National and is ready to go when he kicks off the Friday night card at Penn National in Race 1. It is a 5 ½ f Maiden Claiming sprint, he breaks from the #5 Post Position with top jockey Tyler Conner in the saddle against a field of eight. Post Time is at 6:00 PM. After showing early speed in his first two starts before fading down the stretch, the class relief should be just what he needs, and we’re expecting a big effort from him in this spot. There is some other early speed right to his inside which he should be able to sit a stalking position to with a clean break, and there are two first time starters in the race that have decent work tabs coming into their debuts that could add to the pace. It all starts with a clean break, and Jockey Tyler Conner breezed Cali Heat last week to get familiar with him, and hopefully that pays dividends when the gates open. Mark couldn’t be happier with him coming into the race, and good luck to Kenwood Partners, Group 93 and trainer Mark Salvaggio.
Without a Net was a sharp second on Wednesday night at Penn Nation for Group 84. See Scott's post race comments below:
What an exciting race as WITHOUT A NET showed gate speed again, took control right from the start and through the first 5 furlongs, before she was rundown by a longshot to finish a well clear 2nd in the 6f dirt sprint. With the late scratch of the inside #1 horse, jockey Julio Hernandez was able to get to the lead relatively easily on the inside, albeit pressured the whole way. Without A Net put away the early pressure at the ¼ - pole and appeared to be pulling away at the top of the stretch but was beaten late by the deepest closer of the group who came flying late to win. Without A Net was over three lengths in front of 3rd Place, with another 3-4 lengths back to the rest of the field. Trainer Mark Salvaggio said after the race that he thinks she probably needed that race off the 6+ week break and being lightly raced, but she has come out the race in good order so far and looks to be improving every race right now. There are a couple options for her to come right back at this same level at the middle or end of the month, and we’ll let her tell us which one is best with how she comes out of the race and gets back to the track. I have attached the Equibase Race Chart for your review.
Boston Princess is well at Palm Meadows in Florida following her last race at Laurel Park on Sunday. There is a possible race for her at Gulfstream Park towards the middle of the month.
Outlaw Country also well at Palm Meadows as he gets some well-deserved time off before preparing for the Gulfstream Park Championship Meet which begins in December.
Red Head Italian and Miti Fast Flower have settled in well at Overbrook Farm in Colts Neck while getting some time off from training to grow and mature going into their 3- year- old campaigns. and we will be scheduling a visit to see them in the near future.
Ellie’s a Riot is entered in the November Fasig- Tipton Sale in Kentucky and will go through the ring as Hip #2310 on Monday November 13th. She has arrived at Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky and is looking great. See attached picture above and her catalog page as well.
U Kant Whip It and Montauk Summer are both well as we continue to find new homes for them for second careers.
Lisa Limon and her Connect foal are well at Hidden Brook Farm (see report from Sergio below). Her Vino Rosso filly has continued to progress while training at Manuden Farm.

Kenwood Racing Stable Notes for September 29, 2023
General News
The horrible weather in the Northeast has caused multiple race cancellations for our horses and disrupted our planned schedule for viewing training tomorrow morning. On top of that, Paco Lopez who was named to in two of our races was suspended yesterday morning a short time before he was scheduled to ride for us at Delaware Park. All part of the challenges that trainers and owners face with scheduling and placing horses in proper races.
On a more pleasant note, Monmouth Park is once again offering a Viewing Party for the Breeder’s Cup from Santa Anita on Saturday November 4th and we have reserved some of the limited seating in the Turf Club. If anyone is interested in attending, please let us know ASAP as it will be sold out shortly. Admission is $45 per person and each person will be given a program, a $5 betting voucher and a very nice buffet available throughout the day.
Horse by Horse News
- Cali Heat is entered in race 5 tomorrow at Delaware Park a 5 ½ furlong MSW sprint on the main track. Originally Paco Lopez was scheduled to ride, but as a result of his suspension, we have been able to secure Sammy Marin to take his place. After showing some nice gate speed in his debut, we feel that he will have a good opportunity to get out of the gate and gain a nice position to try to break his maiden in this field of eight two year old colts. Good luck to all Group 93 members and Trainer Kelly Breen.
- Montauk Summer was scheduled to race this evening at the Meadowlands, but the race was cancelled due to the weather. However, in anticipation of this happening, we were able to enter him in at Parx on Wednesday October 4th . He had an easy work yesterday to stretch his legs and has continued to train well in the morning. Exciting young rider Louis Rivera Jr will be aboard in a full field of 12 with one AE going a mile and seventy yards on the turf. Hopefully the class relief will help and he can get back on track for a good outcome. Good luck to all Group 90 ARC23 members and Trainer-Partner Kelly Breen.

- Outlaw Country is doing great and we are looking at a Starter Allowance at Laurel Park in mid-October, as he has continued to train well in preparation for this slot.
- Without a Net has recovered nicely after her 3rd place finish in her turf debut at The Meadowlands and we are hoping to get her in an entry at The Meadowlands before the meet is over.
- Miti Fast Flower had a rough go of it in her debut, as we had to scramble to get a rider after Paco Lopez was suspended shortly before the race. Breaking from the tough one post, we hoped that she would get out clean and stay near the lead, but she did not get a good break and ended up getting a lot of mud kicked up in her face and just did not keep up with the pack. Definitely not the outcome that we were hoping for, but she did continue to run on through the wire and galloped out fine after the race. She has come out of it in good shape and we are looking to get her right back in the entries in a few weeks.
- U Kant Whip It has a possible entry next weekend at the Meadowlands and we will keep you posted if he is entered.
- Ellie’s a Riot has been entered in the November Fasig- Tipton Sale in Kentucky and will go through the ring as Hip #2310 on Monday November 13th. She will be shipped in to Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky in the next few days.
- Lisa Limon and her Connect foal are well at Hidden Brook Farm. The filly had a little cold last week, but has recovered well. Her Vino Rosso filly has continued to progress while training at Manuden Farm.

Kenwood Racing Stable Notes for September 16, 2023
Horse by Horse News
A busy night upcoming with back- to- back races at the Meadowlands.
- Without a Net is entered in race 5 at the Meadowlands Saturday night. She will be getting some class relief and a surface change from dirt to turf to hopefully improve after her first two tries on the dirt. Nick Juarez will ride in this five- furlong turf sprint that has been pared down to 10 horses after some scratches but still leaving from the tough post position 10. Currently 8/1 on the board she has been working well in the morning and hopefully the change in surface will lead to some good results. Good luck to all Group 84 members and our partner Golden Rock Thoroughbreds.
- Outlaw Country is entered in Race 6 at the Meadowlands on Saturday night going five furlongs on the turf. He will be moving up to Allowance company with hot rider Sammy Marin in the irons. He is currently the 5/2 favorite in what is now a field of eight after two scratches. Leaving from post position 2 he will try to win his fourth in a row on the turf and second straight for Kenwood. Good luck to all Group 90 ARC23 members and Trainer – Partner Kelly Breen.
- Boston Princess is pointed towards an entry on Friday October 6th after a nice 2nd place finish on Saturday September 2nd. She has been training well and we are looking forward to her next entry as she is in good form earning her best Beyer’s Speed Figure in the last race.
- Red Head Italian is well and being pointed to a Jersey Bred MSW race on Saturday September 30th at the Meadowlands.

Kenwood Racing Stable Notes for September 5, 2023
Horse by Horse News
- A lot to report since the last update. First, we would like to thank the over 100 Kenwood Group Members and their Families and Friends who were able to attend our Annual Kenwood Racing picnic at Monmouth Park on NJ Thoroughbred Day. The weather was picture perfect and it was exciting to have our two year old Red Head Italian entered in the last race of the day. See the picture of the large number of Group 91 Members and their families in the paddock before the race. She ran well but just couldn’t stay up at the end finishing a hard trying 4th. We will be looking at another MSW at the Meadowlands towards the end of the month for her.
- Outlaw Country ran back three weeks after we claimed him for $16,000, to win impressively by 2+ lengths against Claiming $40,000 competition on Saturday August 26th (See Winner’s Circle picture). He has come out of the race in very well and is now 3 for 3 since switching from dirt to turf running three straight lifetime high Beyer Speed Figures of 69, 80 and 85. There is a possible entry for him on Friday October 6th at the Meadowlands. We will keep you posted when closer to entry day.
- U Kant Whip It ran well in Race 2 at Penn National on August 30th finishing 3rd as he was squeezed in along the rail coming down the stretch but fought hard to the end. He came back well from the race and is entered in Race 3 at Penn on Thursday September 7th with Tyler Conner aboard again. He is 6-1 on the opening line. Good luck to all Group 67 members, Trainer Mark Salvaggio and our partner Ralph Pastore.
- Brit’s Candyman also ran a nice race on August 30th coming in second in the 1st race at Penn National. He was claimed from us out of the race and we wish his new connections the best of luck with his next start.
- Lisa’s Palace was a well beaten fifth after being dropped from MSW to the claiming ranks on August 25th. She was claimed from us out of the race and we hope that she shows improvement for her new connections as some better showings in the future will bode well for our other Home-breds and Lisa Limon.
- We are hoping for Miti Fast Flower to make the entries for a MSW at Monmouth Park this Saturday September 9th. She has been training well and we are looking forward to her racing debut. She had an easy breeze on Sunday in final preparation for the race.
