Thorpedo Anna, after her Distaff win, is taking a 60-day break and is expected to go back in training in the first week of January.Stakes Runners in Different Age Groups
For the 3-year-olds and up, Rattle N Roll is entered in Friday's Clark (G2) at Churchill Downs. After a year layoff, he finished third in the Lukas Classic (G2) on September 28. Missing the Breeders' Cup Classic was a disappointment as they thought the pace set up well for him. McPeek also entered four in Tuesday stakes at Zia Park, but Generous Tipper will be scratched due to a high-level interest in buying him.V V's Dream is entered in the Zia Park Oaks and is seen as a good spot to finish the year. Under the Palms is also in the Zia Park Oaks and has shown solid form. Denington is entered in the Zia Park Championship Stakes and will have his first start since May.For the 2-year-olds, McPeek has more than the usual number but couldn't provide an exact figure. One of the juveniles that has run well is Render Judgment, who broke his maiden in October and is set to run in Saturday's Kentucky Jockey Club (G2). McPeek is also optimistic about Golden Gamble, a Laoban filly who won her second start by nine lengths.Each of these horses and their respective races offer unique opportunities and challenges in the world of horse racing. Kenny McPeek's dedication and expertise are evident in the success of his stable, and the future looks bright for his horses.
