Horse racing newsletter: Life Is Good out of Kentucky Derby
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we congratulate Hot Rod Charlie for making a date in Louisville on May 1.
The big news Saturday was not Hot Rod Charlie winning the Louisiana Derby but Life Is Good will miss the Santa Anita Derby and the Kentucky Derby. The presumptive top horse in the barn of trainer Bob Baffert had a bullet work over six furlongs Saturday morning and Baffert even told Ed Golden of Santa Anita that he worked “perfectly.”
But when the horse got back to the barn, Baffert noticed something was off in his hind end.
“He came back to the barn after the work and was off when he turned,” Baffert told Jay Privman of the Daily Racing Form. “We have to do more tests on him. It’s nothing obvious, but he’s out of the Santa Anita Derby.”
While Baffert initially just said the horse would not be in the Santa Anita Derby, he later amended it to include the Kentucky Derby on May 1. Even if the injury were deemed to be very minor, it would be an enormous challenge for a horse to go at Churchill Downs if they missed any training a mere five weeks before the big race.
Elliott Walden, of owner WinStar Farm, was pretty clear on what happened.
“Out for few months,” Walden said in a text to Ron Flatter of Horse Racing Nation. “Off left hind. Going to see Dr. [Larry] Bramlage this week.”
The injury, on the surface, is not thought to be career threatening, pending further veterinary examination. Life Is Good had 60 Kentucky Derby qualifying points and would have qualified for the Kentucky Derby if he were healthy and able to go to post.
So, while one Southern California horse leaves the Derby trail, another puts himself in Louisville. Hot Rod Charlie went right to the front of the Louisiana Derby and showed incredible grit down the stretch and even pulled away at the end to win by two lengths.
I wrote about Hot Rod Charlie before the Robert Lewis Stakes. To read, just click here.
Hot Rod Charlie runs for trainer Doug O’Neill, but in the Louisiana Derby he was listed as being under the care of Leandro Mora, O’Neill’s longtime assistant. O’Neill is just ending a medication suspension, meaning his horses had to be shifted to another trainer. Joel Rosario was the rider.
The Kentucky Derby should be well represented by Southern California horses.

Santa Anita review
It was good to see horses go down the hillside turf course again, even though it was only the start of the 1 ½-mile Grade 3 $100,000 San Luis Rey Stakes. In it, United set up perfectly off a front-running Acclimate and then made his move going into the stretch to win by three-quarters of a length.
United paid $3.80, $2.60 and $2.10. Say the Word was second, followed by Masteroffoxhounds, Acclimate and Multiplier. It was the fourth of five wins on the day for Flavien Prat.
Richard Mandella (winning trainer): “The exercise rider that rides him weighs about 250 pounds, so putting little Flavien Prat to go a little further isn’t going to matter. It’s always nice to be home. He’s won very nicely at Del Mar also, although we like The Great Race Place.”
Prat (winning jockey): “Hat’s off to Mr. Mandella, he had him ready to run a mile and one half. He was traveling well the whole way and he responded well when I asked him to go. My horse likes to be in the race and he likes it when there is a good pace. I wanted to stay close to Acclimate, I didn’t want him to get too easy of a lead. Like I say, we were traveling well and at the three-eighths pole, I was in control. He likes the turf courses out here and with the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar, that’s good. Hoping to have a good year.”
Santa Anita preview
Sunday’s nine-race card is pretty pedestrian with a first post of 1 p.m. More than half the races are on the turf (the odd-numbered ones) and there are a minor stakes and two maiden specials. The feature would be the $100,000 Sensational Star for Cal-breds going six furlongs on the turf. Jetovator is the 5-2 morning-line favorite for trainer Peter Eurton and jockey Ruben Fuentes. He is three of 18 lifetime with four seconds and five thirds and is coming off a 2 1/4-length allowance win. Desmond Doss is the second favorite, at 3-1, for Steve Miyadi and Abel Cedillo. He has won three of 10 lifetime and is coming off a second in the Tiznow. He led in the one-mile Tiznow until the stretch so the cut back in distance should be beneficial. Post is around 4:26 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 7, 6, 6, 5, 7, 6, 7, 12, 9.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
FIRST RACE: No. 3 Constitutionaffair (8-1)
Constitutionaffair makes the first start since June for trainer Mark Glatt and first-time gelded. Racing protected on Sunday, this horse has put in a series of bullet works since January. Abel Cedillo rides and he is winning 22% for this trainer. ‘Affair has a 1-2-1 record from five starts. In a wide-open race 8-1 is nice value for us.
Saturday’s result: Gabby Hayes tracked in second but faded going into the turn.

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
FIFTH RACE: No. 2 El Cuervo Favorito (4-1)
He ran a solid fourth in a much-needed return effort off a 84-night layoff for his top-notch connections. In that effort, the sophomore gelding showed a good turn of foot past the gap after breaking slow and getting bumped back. He lost multiple lengths at the gate, opening when getting crossed by a swerving rival. With a tough start to overcome, this long strider finished well on his own to light the superfecta placing. The number earned is very competitive in Sunday’s endeavor and this entrant will improve. He will be a big player in here.

LALIC (FR) broke in a bit at the start, settled inside, saved ground to the stretch, moved out a path and closed well to overhaul the runner-up. NEW DRAMA dueled outside of SWEET SONNY to the stretch, put away that rival nearing the eighth pole and yielded to the winner in the final sixteenth. SHOUT IT OUT stalked the top pair from inside, came off the rail leaving the bend, angled out further in the stretch, lacked the needed late kick and saved the show. PREDICTABLE TULLY (IRE) stalked the leaders while outside of SHOUT IT OUT, exited the turn three wide, steered out in the stretch and missed the show. SWEET SONNY dueled for command from inside to the stretch and weakened inside the furlong grounds. AMERICAN BOURBON tracked off the rail, entered the turn three wide then shifted to the two path leaving the bend and could not rally. CHIQUITA PIQUITA sat off the pace off the inside, took the turn two then three wide and offered no response. SWEET SOULMATE broke out then drifted out early, raced very wide up the backstretch then moved in nearing the turn, came four wide into the stretch and was never a factor.
