Kenneally Racing Stable, managed by trainer Eddie Kenneally, operates from Churchill Downs and Keeneland in the spring and summer, racing in Kentucky and in the Chicago area at Hawthorne, Sportsman's Park, and Arlington, and in Louisiana at Fair Grounds in the winter.

Eddie is from County Waterford, Ireland. He grew up with horses, learned the basics, and worked his way up, following a path that allowed him to learn from some of the most respected names in racing.

Horse racing is in the Kenneally family. Eddie's Uncle, John Kenneally, finished second on a horse called Purple Silk in the Aintree Grand National in 1964. He led the race until after the final fence and was beaten only by a nose! Eddie's brother, Johnny Kenneally, runs Erinvale Thoroughbreds, one of the largest consignors of yearlings in Australia.

Eddie came to the U.S. in 1987, and went to work for trainer Rusty Arnold. He saw much of the country working as assistant trainer for Tom Skiffington in New York, California, and Florida, and then for Niall O'Callaghan. After these apprenticeships, Eddie trained for Xalapa Farm in Paris, KY. He later became the private trainer for Jack Kent Cooke's Elmendorf Farm. In 1996, Eddie began offering his training services to the public.

Kenneally Racing is a growing operation, with the ability to guide owners and their horses to the most lucrative purse money available in midwest racing today. Kenneally Racing offers owners not only some of the most lucrative purse money in the country, but also a top quality, experienced staff that takes pride in their work and cares about the horses.

In addition, Kenneally Racing clients rest assured with the knowledge that keeping owners informed at all times is a top priority.


Kenneally Racing is based at Churchill Downs April through November, and in South Florida during the winter months.
