Horse racing newsletter: Catching up on some news
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we await a three-stakes race day at Santa Anita.
We’re a little behind on the news that concerns Southern Californians, so let’s get caught up.
— The big story of the week was veteran trainer John Sadler was hit with a complaint from the California Horse Racing Board after Flagstaff tested positive for a bisphosphonate called clodronic acid. An attorney for Sadler said the drug was administered in 2019, when the drug was not illegal. The drug is known to stay in a horse’s system for a very long time. I took a look at bisphosphonates a couple years ago. You can read it here. The concern with bisphosphonates is with young horses. Flagstaff is 7 years old. Here’s the story Steve Andersen of the Daily Racing Form did. Just click here.
— Del Mar will be opening to 100% capacity in the seated areas. The track made the announcement on Friday. Much like Santa Anita, you will have to purchase a seating plan in advance. Tickets go on sale on June 18. The season opens on July 16. Mac McBride of the Del Mar publicity department penned this release. Just click here.
— One thing about racing is there is rarely a tolerance for someone having success at your expense. Maybe I’m reading the situation wrong, but Del Mar, Santa Anita and Golden Gate believe they are losing horses to Los Alamitos. So, Del Mar wrote a condition book that bans horses that have run two consecutive 1,000-yard races at Los Alamitos. Santa Anita and Golden Gate will follow that plan. The big guys are stressing that trainers need to contact the racing office to find suitable racing. You need look no further than the entries to see how Santa Anita has struggled filling fields. And, if there is no Santa Anita or Del Mar, there is no Los Alamitos. I think this is a trial balloon to see how things shake out and if this will make a difference. Steve Andersen wrote a right-down-the-middle straight news story on this. You can read it here.
Enjoying this newsletter?
Who goofed, I’ve got to know?
Once again, it was me, who else? I didn’t catch in Friday’s newsletter that the actual jockey of Rock Your World for the Belmont Stakes is Joel Rosario. And Mike Smith is riding Rebel’s Romance. I better get things straight before I go to New York next week.
Santa Anita review
Tradition dictates that we have a featured race of the day. The big purse race of the day was the first race, a Cal-bred maiden special for 2-year-old fillies. The 4 ½-furlong race was won by Munny Penny for Walther Solis and Flavien Prat. The winning margin was 5 ½ lengths, explaining the payoffs of $3.60, $2.60 and $2.10. Ko Olina was second, followed by Square Fun, Madiha, Endless Thirst and Scam Likely.
For those of you wondering about Eel Point, who was pulled up in the last race: He did not suffer a compound fracture, walked on to the van and was said to be a surgical candidate. That’s promising, so we’ll hope for the best.
Santa Anita preview
The big card is Monday, with three Grade 1s. Sunday’s isn’t great, and Saturday’s is not too bad. Hey, given the horse population, I think the racing office did the very best they could. Although those short stakes fields are still very troubling. More than half the races on Saturday are on the turf (the odd-numbered ones) and there are three stakes races. First post in the nine-race card is 1 p.m.
Let’s look at the stakes:
Grade 3 $100,000 Daytona Stakes: This is a 6 ½-furlong turf race for horses 4 and up. The favorite, at 6-5, is Bombard for trainer Richard Mandella and jockey Prat. This 8-year-old gelding has won five of 17 lifetime with six seconds. He hasn’t won since the Wickerr Stakes at Del Mar since July 21. He finished eighth in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint last year. The second favorite is Law Abidin Citizen at 8-5 for Mark Glatt and Abel Cedillo. He last won on June 14 last year in an allowance. Last out he was third in the Pat O’Brien on Aug. 29 at Del Mar. There are five starters with a post around 3:15 p.m.
Grade 2 $200,000 Charles Whittingham Stakes: This 1 ¼-mile turf race starts on the bottom part of the downhill course. There are only four horses and morning-line maker Jon White, yes our Jon White, made the Richard Mandella, Prat horse the 3-5 favorite. Last out he won the San Luis Rey Stakes at 1 ½ miles. He has won eight of 18 lifetime. Red King is the 8-5 second choice for Phil D’Amato and Umberto Rispoli. He won the Del Mar Handicap on Aug. 22 of last year. This 7-year-old has won seven of 31 lifetime. Post is around 4:19 p.m.
Grade 2 $200,000 Triple Bend Stakes: This is a seven-furlong race for older horses. This race has only five starters. The favorite, at 9-5, is Eight Rings for Bob Baffert and Prat. This lightly raced 4-year-old was the winner of the 2019 American Pharoah and finished sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. But he only raced twice in 2020. This is his first race since finishing seventh in a Grade 1 stakes at Saratoga in August. Lambeau is the 5-2 second choice for John Shirreffs and Edwin Maldonado. This is his first stakes race and is coming off an allowance win at Santa Anita in April. Post is near 4:52 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 5, 6, 5, 10, 5, 8, 4, 5, 8.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
THIRD RACE: No. 1 Super Game (5-1)
Super Game gets first time Rispoli, who is an impressive 24% on turf for a profit. ‘Game comes in with a sharp workout which may be why Umberto jumps on. In a race with early speed this horse that too has flashed both early and late speed, under the expert guidance of Rispoli, could sit off the pace and pounce late for the win. 5-1 is great value. Horses 5-1 or more have won three-of-seven times for a 43% win rate.
Friday’s result: Smiling Annie sat nicely off the pace and into the stretch took the lead but, alas, Prat on the favorite closed great to win. Annie paid $8 for place. Nice ride by Jessica Pyfer nonetheless.

Golden Gate preview
Matt Dinerman is back for another week of Golden Gate Fields racing. The genial race caller is the host for our weekly previews and other musings. So, take it away, Matt.
“Racing continues through Memorial Day with a fun feature on Monday. Let’s get to it.
“Saturday’s marquee race is the sixth, for 3-year-old allowance sprinters. No. 1 Big Duke is a cool California-bred. Purchased for $1,200, he’s made more than $109,000 for his current connections and continues to run well at Golden Gate Fields allowance conditions. Most recently, he ran second to the Southern California shipper Love My Jimmy. Big Duke is the 6-5 morning-line favorite in today’s feature. Other major players include recent starter allowance winner Pappy Boyington, who beat next-out romping winner Swift As I Am, Emerald Downs stakes-placed gelding Coastal Kid and Kowboyakin, another Emerald Downs shipper who makes his 2021 debut for trainer Blaine Wright. A California-bred son of Indian Evening, Kowboyakin broke his maiden at Emerald in a maiden special last year.
“Sunday has a pair of features, both for allowance horses. The seventh, a 1 1/16-mile allowance for fillies and mares, is competitive featuring the return to Tapeta of Miss Peaky Blinder. The Neil Drysdale-trained daughter of Candy Ride faces older fillies and mares for the first time after a fourth-place finish in the California Oaks on Gold Rush Weekend. The eighth race, a 1 ¼-mile first-level allowance, is an interesting race too. This will be the first race I’ve called at Golden Gate for horses going 10 furlongs, so we haven’t seen a race here at that distance in quite a few years. We do have a 1 ¼-mile chute on the Tapeta, though, and it looks like a very contentious race. Drysdale sends up Mullholland Highway, while seven locals look to win the eighth race for the ‘home team.’
“The feature race of the week is the $100,000 All American Stakes. At the time of this writing, entries had not been drawn for Monday, but reports indicate six runners will participate. Anyportinastorm, who won the Lost in the Fog Stakes last month, enters back going a mile for trainer Peter Miller. The only other time this son of City Zip has raced at two turns, he suffered a heartbreaking loss by a nose, to Grade I placed Law Abidin Citizen in the 2019 Longacres Mile. Local conditioner Quinn Howey enters recent second-level allowance winner Indian Peak and Navy Armed Guard, who broke the track record last year in his only start over the Tapeta. Zestful, shipping North for trainer Mark Glatt, is also reportedly entered, as is 2020 Tokyo City Cup winner Cupid’s Claws, making his 2021 debut in the All American for trainer Craig Dollase.”

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
SEVENTH RACE: No. 2 Strongly (7-2)
He exits a much better than looked third-place finish against a long-gone well-meant winner who prepped like a monster for that race. In that outing, Strongly was rather fractious in the gate prior to bobbling outward to lose over a length of ground and his early racing momentum. After the poor start, this runner showed a decent amount of speed to get close to the winner past the gap. With a decent run on that night, he finished OK to garner the trifecta placing while earning a solid figure for tonight’s endeavor with all factored in.

MUNNY PENNY away quickest in the beginning, cleared rival into the turn, moved to the rail around the bend and drew away under a strong hand urging. KO OLINA had early speed inside MUNNY PENNY, steadied briefly at the seven-sixteenths, chased along the rail into the turn, steadied briefly again off heels on the turn, remained inside to the stretch and outkicked SQUARE FUN for the place. SQUARE FUN chased the leader outside a rival through the turn and got edged for the place. MADIHA went four then three wide around the bend and failed to produce a bid. ENDLESS THIRST chased on the inside to the stretch and weakened. SCAM LIKELY trailed the field five wide into the turn, angled down to the two path then three wide into the stretch and was never a factor.

TROUVILLE settled along the inside, was put in tight nearing the turn then checked early on the bend, stayed on the inside then came two wide into the drive and finished evenly. SHANGHAI SUNRISE raced off the rail, ducked out into the turn, steered back in and entered the lane two wide but proved no menace. ROSES AND CANDY chased outside a rival, swung five wide into the lane, shifted in upper stretch stretch and weakened. I'M THE HERO dueled for the lead from inside and gave way in the stretch.

SUGAR KISSES unhurried from inside in the beginning, saved ground then came off the rail a bit nearing the stretch, angled outside the runner-up in the drive and edged clear. SUMMER ROSE away quickly to take control and angled into the two path, set the pace to the far turn, inched away then shifted out at the quarter pole, remained clear into the furlong grounds, was tested at the sixteenth pole and yielded grudgingly.

LITTLE BIRD (IRE) stalked three wide to the stretch, lacked the needed rally but stayed on to secure the show honors. TIZNO'S DILEMMA got squeezed between rivals at the start, took the first turn two wide, angled in on the second bend and missed the show. CHARETTE away quickly to assume command, set the pace inside, dueled with KLEEN KARMA around the far turn, lost contact into the stretch and gave way. FOLLOWING AN INQUIRY, THE STEWARDS RULED THAT KLEEN KARMA DRIFTED OUT AND INITIATED CONTACT WITH CLEARLY GONE MID-STRETCH AND THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN THE ORDER OF FINISH.

PROMISE NOTHING unhurried in the beginning, raced two wide into the turn, three wide into the stretch, altered around rival at the top of the lane then reeled in REBEL WAR and drew clear to prove best.
