Horse racing newsletter: Great card at Santa Anita today

- Share via
Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we get up to date on stewards’ rulings.
Lots to get to, so let’s get right to the stewards’ rulings. They were busy catching up on some stuff. And, for the record, all the minor violations were conducted by phone.
--Trainer Keith Desormeaux was fined $400 for entering Zimba Warrior in the third race on May 15 and then having to scratch. The race was an allowance/optional claimer. Desormeaux acknowledged his mistake.
--Trainer Andrew Lerner was fined $400 for a late registration of Goboldly as needing bleeder medication in the ninth race on May 15. Goboldly finished 10th in the 11-horse race. (Cherwa note: Talk about a common mistake. In the stewards’ minutes, apparently the stewards’ cut and paste the wrong ruling under Lerner as it was the same as the previous Desormeaux ruling. Take away: It doesn’t just happen to me.)
--Exercise rider Cathleen Garner was fined $100 on April 15 for continuing to work her horse after the warning siren and lights went on during morning workouts. Garner said she did all that she could do to control her horse after an incident at the 3/8th pole. This was the same day as M C Hamster broke down during training. The stewards said the outriders disagreed that she did all she could to pull up her horse.
--Exercise rider Tony Gutierrez was fined $100 for continuing to work his horse on May 2 after the warning siren and light came on. Gutierrez said he made a mistake and accepted responsibility.
--Jockey Heriberto Figueroa was suspended for three days (May 23, 24, 25) for failure to maintain a straight course while riding Stick Up in the fourth race on May 15. The stewards concluded that Figueroa allowed his horse to drift into the path of Pammi Dearest in mid-stretch causing the horses to clip heels and unseat jockey Jorge Velez. Stick Up was disqualified from sixth place to ninth. It was a majority decision as steward Grant Baker voted for a five-day suspension.
--Trainer Bob Baffert was fined $400 when he decided he did not want Fierce for Sul to run in the third race on May 16. Fierce for Sul is now scheduled to run in a maiden special weight on Monday.
--Exercise rider Olha Krushevska was fined $50 when she worked a horse for trainer Keith Desormeaux on Tuesday, April 28. The track is closed to workouts on Tuesdays.
--Exercise rider William Chavez was fined $50 when he worked a horse for trainer Keith Desormeaux on Tuesday, April 28. The track is closed to workouts on Tuesdays.
--Exercise rider Erin Riefenberg was fined $100 for ignoring the warning siren and lights on April 23 after a horse had pulled up at the 7/8th marker and was standing in the middle of the track.
--Jockey Jose Delgadillo was retroactively suspended 30 days after admitting to taking methamphetamine on Aug. 8, 2019 at Del Mar. The jockey attended a six-month in-house rehabilitation program in Tijuana. He has since met with the Winners Foundation, signed a contract and complied with stipulations. Darin Scharer of the Winners Foundation said he thought Delgadillo was ready to return to racing. The suspension was from Feb. 13 to March 13, so he is re-instated to racing.Santa Anita review
There were no stakes on Sunday, so the feature was an allowance worth $51,000 for horses going a mile on the turf. The impressive winner was Border Town, who swept five-wide into the stretch, made up ground and them ducked in to win by a length.
Border Town, the second favorite, paid $7.00, $4.60 and $3.40. Mountain Spirit was second and Southern King finished third.
“He keeps getting better and better,” trainer Richard Mandella told Mike Willman of Santa Anita. “He gets away slowly sometimes, but Flavien [Prat] knows him and he’s never in a hurry with him. I thought that was a pretty nice finish and we’ll probably look at a weak stakes in next month or so.”
Prat was the winning rider and proved, once again, why he’s the leading rider at the track.
“Down the lane, he kind of lugs in, but … he’s been doing much better,” Prat said. “He should getting better and better with every race. I was loaded all around the turn [and] when I asked him to go, he really gave me a great kick.”Santa Anita preview
It’s a really, really good card on Monday with 11 races starting at 12:30 p.m. (I would have started at noon, but what the heck.) There are three stakes races, two of them Grade 1s, four allowance/optional claimers and two maiden specials. If you do the math, it means only two claiming races. And, five of the races are on the turf.
Here’s a preview of each of them.
Grade 2 $200,000 Monrovia Stakes. This would normally be down the hill, but instead is 5 ½ furlongs on the turf for fillies and mares. The favorite, at 8-5, is Jolie Olimpica for trainer Richard Mandella and jockey Mike Smith. This filly has won four-of-five lifetime, her only loss coming last out in the Buena Vista at Santa Anita when Keeper ofthe Stars ran her down in the stretch. Three of her four wins came in Brazil.
The second favorite is Oleksandra at 3-1 for Neil Drysdale and Joel Rosario. She hasn’t run since Oct. 11 when she won the Grade 3 Buffalo Trace Franklin County Stakes. The 6-year-old mare is six-for-13 lifetime and exclusively a sprinter. Post is listed at 2:34 p.m.
Grade 1 $300,000 Shoemaker Mile: We don’t need to tell you distance but it’s for horses 3 and older on the turf. It’s a pretty wide-open race but morning-line maker Jon White has installed Raging Bull as the tepid 7-2 favorite. He’s a shipper for Chad Brown and Rosario comes in to ride. He mostly races back east but he did win the Hollywood Derby at Del Mar in 2018. He’s coming off a fourth place (moved up to third) finish in the Woodbine Mile in September of last year.
There are two horses at 4-1. The most famous is War of Will, who was involved in last year’s disqualification of Maximum Security in the Kentucky Derby. He went on to win the Preakness to give trainer Mark Casse his first Triple Crown win. Prat takes over from Tyler Gaffalione as the rider. This will be War of Will’s first turf start. The other 4-1 is locally based River Boyne for Jeff Mullins and Abel Cedillo. He has won two in a row including the Grade 1 Frank E. Kilroe at Santa Anita. He is nine-for-24 lifetime. Heck of a race. Post is listed as 4:38 p.m.
Grade 1 $300,000 Gamely Stakes: This is a little longer at 1 1/8 miles on the turf for fillies and mares 3 and up. The favorite, at 5-2, Etoile for Brown and Rosario. She will be making her U.S. debut. She has won a Grade 3 in France and is three-of-seven lifetime.
Ollie’s Candy is the second favorite for John Sadler and Drayden Van Dyke at 4-1. She is coming off a loss by a head in the Grade 1 Apple Blossom at Oaklawn. She was fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff and won the Grade 1 Clement Hirsch at Del Mar. She has won four-of-12 lifetime. It’s the last race of the day listed at 5:39 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 12, 7, 6, 10, 8, 5, 10, 10, 11, 9, 11.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
RACE FOUR: No. 8 Sapphire Silk (8-1)
Sometimes in racing it is as much about what horse a jockey chooses than what a handicapper sees on paper. Monday that horse is Sapphire Silk. The jockey in question is Umberto Rispoli. In the debut race for trainer Jeff Mullins, Silk was positioned nicely going into the turn and looked ready to unleash a late run but had to be steadied very hard to stop from running into a wall of horses just ahead. Umberto rightfully eased the horse. With no gap in works, they drop the horse for Monday’s race. So, regarding the jockey angle I mentioned. The favorite here is Trouville whom Umberto rode in the last two races. Flavien Prat is named for the race Monday. I am inclined to think Umberto had the choice here and decided to stay with Silk. The 8-1 morning line is a nice value proposition for us. Even though Umberto rode Trouville great in the last two starts, many punters may assume he was kicked from the horse and discount the horse he is riding Monday. That should give us added value.
Sunday’s result: Zillinda looked like nice value on paper and that’s all I can say.
