Old English Rancho moves runners to Blacker, D'Amato, Palma

ARCADIA, Calif. – Old English Rancho and trainer Kenny Black recently parted ways, with the stable’s runners now based with trainers Dan Blacker, Hector Palma, and Phil D’Amato.
D’Amato said on Wednesday that he has three runners owned by Old English Rancho, including What a View, the multiple stakes winner who won the Grade 1 Frank Kilroe Mile at Santa Anita in 2016. Trainer Dan Blacker said that three horses from Old English Rancho have joined his stable. Palma received two horses, according to Old English Rancho farm manager Jonny Hilvers.
Hilvers declined to elaborate on the relocation. Black was not immediately available for comment.
Black, 54, has won five races from 53 starters this year, including the Grade 3 American Stakes with What a View at Santa Anita in April.
