All racing stables are not created equal. This is why MCPEEK RACING is different:
*We have at our disposal the benefit of training horses on our farm in Lexington, upon which we will have the ability to train on turf, polytrack, or sand, either right or left handed. There are also plenty of paddocks for horses to be turned out. These advantages can keep a horse happy, and can help with soundness problems.
* Stable is run following the "One Minute Manager"
(Authors: Kenneth Blanchard, Ph.D. and Spencer Johnson, M.D.) - this allows
our team to focus on the details of the daily care of each horse. Each member
of our staff has a job description and they know what to do and when during the
course of their work.
* Kenny has an in-depth knowledge of both pedigrees and training which is an
advantage when deciding the distance or surface an individual horse should compete.
This knowledge is especially helpful at a sale, when evaluating many horses in
a short period of time.
* Kenny has had the good fortune of having run well in some of the biggest
races in the country, including the Kentucky Derby (twice), the Breeders Cup (three
times), the Preakness, and the Belmont, just to name a few. McPeek-trained horses
have won over 80 stakes races and placed in many more in Kenny's 15 years of
training.
* Kenny helps you manage your horse when it is away from
one of our divisions. He does the things which are in the long-term best interest
of each individual horse. This includes following up on any rest time that your
horse may need or even veterinary care that is necessary. With McPeek Racing,
owning a horse is worry free. Kenny handles any problems that come up with your best
interest at heart.
* We always use the highest quality feed, straw, and hay. We never settle for
second rate products. If the products are not up to our high standards, we send
them back. We use and believe that Hallway Feeds are the finest products available
to the Thoroughbred racing Industry. Above all the Hallway Feeds team provides
us with the highest standard of technical expertise and support. We invite you
to visit their Web site www.hallwayfeeds.com
to see what Hallway Feeds can do for your racing and breeding operation.
* Our equipment is of the highest quality. Each horse is sent to the track
in the best leather saddles and bridles.
* Protection from unnecessary cuts or abrasions is provided daily. Each groom
sets four bandages prior to training and following all morning workouts. This
ensures that every leg on each horse has been seen daily.
* A temperature and feed chart is filled out each and every morning prior to
a horse going to the racetrack. We are able to recognize an elevated temperature
or leftover feed with a glance at this chart. It was installed to prevent or catch
an oncoming illness.
* All stalls are bedded deeply with straw, and horses receive unlimited hay
which is supplied to them both in hay bags and in the corners of the stall. We
place a priority that your horse is totally comfortable in its surroundings.
* Scales are used to weigh each horse weekly, prior to, and following a race.
This allows our staff to monitor weight loss or gain during the rigors of
racing or training. We can use this tool to focus in upon an ideal feed program
for each horse to perform at its peak.
* Our office is located in Lexington, Kentucky and it is at your service when
in need of reservations, seating, past performances, entries, or questions which
you may need answered.
* We will fax you overnights and past performances for your upcoming races
from this office when your horse has been entered if you desire.
* Vanning to and from racetracks is provided by the stable van. Having our
own van gives us an edge in moving your horses efficiently. Shipping to tracks
throughout the country in pursuit of winning stakes races is a common practice
in our stable.
* Any stakes nominations are taken care of for you by Kenny and his staff.
* Our staff is honest, friendly, and experienced in providing attention to
the details in caring for your horse. We operate our stable to please both our
client and our horses.
At MCPEEK RACING we strive to be the Mercedes of stables by offering the very
best. You can be sure at MCPEEK RACING that your horse will receive top quality
care, which each and every horse deserves, in order to reach its potential on
the racetrack.
