Track work, feeds, treadmill workouts, walker warm downs, cleaning out stables and visits from owners, only to get up the next day and do it all again.
Currently Kennedy is the most successful trainer at the Narromine Turf Club and also the most raced with 50 starts in under four months.
Recently Kennedy rode Bansuri, who broke out of maiden status after 33 starts to win at Narromine (1600m) on November 28.
For the next two starts Bansuri placed third at Wellington (2400m) on December 9 and third again at Bathurst (2000m) on December 23.
Owned by Kennedy and her partner Ricky Blewitt, Bansuri found her stride in the 1600m at Dubbo and was ridden by Kennedy to comfortable success on January 13.
More recently Bansuri also had a significant win at Forbes on January 25 in a benchmark 58 handicap.
Kennedy said there's plenty more to see from the 6-year-old brown mare.
"Bansuri has always shown ability and was never far from the money in her 30 odd starts," Kennedy said.
"Now she has the confidence and belief in herself and her team, I think we will see great things from her.
"Keep an eye out for tab highways in the next couple of weeks punters."

- Owner and trainer, Kylie Kennedy
Dr Robert Kirkby, member of turf club for over 50 years has enjoyed watching Kennedy become a training force, and said its no surprise as her father Wayne Collison had been a trainer at Narromine for years.
"It's little wonder Kylie took up racing, having grown up with it," Dr Kirkby said.
"The committee are pleased that the treadmill and eight horse walker, that were installed approximately 18 months ago, are adding to the tools in the trainers belt."
"We have a very strong committee and staff, so the future looks bright at the Narromine Turf Club."
Next meeting is on March 26. Save the date for the Narromine Gold Cup on August 9 and the Dandy Cup on October 17.
