Racing! Del Mar put on a good show for the Breeders’ Cup

Share

Hello, my name is Eric Sondheimer, and I’m filling in for John Cherwa for today’s horse racing newsletter. Some observations on the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar:

What a weekend. Talking with fans, bettors, owners and fellow writers, there was near unanimous praise for the efficiency and strong organization of the event. Keeping crowds to less than 38,000 each day and requiring ticket holders to remain in certain areas enabled lines to be reasonable and kept walkways from being overly crowded compared to what usually happens on opening day at Del Mar.

I took the 9:30 p.m. train back to Union Station on Saturday, and one couple attending their first Breeders’ Cup said they can’t wait to come back for another. They were even happy to pay $24 for a bottle of beer and glass of wine. “Worth every sip,” the husband said.

The racing was safe and the handicapping challenge was immense with large fields and only two favorites, World Approval and Mendelssohn, winning in 13 races. Only two other favorites even hit the board.

“The favorites were disappointing and the prices were unreal,” handicapper Jeff Siegel said.

My two complaints: The draw news conference early in the week had too many speakers and the host thought he was talking to fans at a WWE event. People want to know the post positions and not be led into fake cheering. Also the delay between the 11th and 12th races on Saturday was ridiculous, probably the result of TV considerations. How do you miss the scheduled post time by 11 minutes despite having nearly an hour between races?

The weekend will be most remembered for the performance of Gun Runner in the Classic. I saw him standing in his stall in the paddock and was stunned how calm he was posing for photographers. Then he went out and won impressively while fighting off Collected from the inside, a path few horses were taking on the road to victory.

“He was amazing,” Siegel said.

Even though Del Mar’s two-day attendance figure of 70,420 was not close to Santa Anita’s 118,484 in 2016, the on-track wagering total of $25,181,317 is the highest for the event. The Breeders’ Cup made money, and out-of-towners certainly enjoyed the fun environment.

My suspicion that the great Arrogate simply hated Del Mar’s surface unfortunately proved to be true. Trainer Bob Baffert did all he could to believe it wasn’t the surface, but jockey Mike Smith spilled the beans afterward.

“He just doesn’t like this track,” Smith said. “For whatever reason, I hate to say it, he has shown it time and time again.”

It was a tough two days for Baffert. His horses finished second in four races. And he was wearing a great yellow tie that would have looked magnificent in the winner’s circle.

Gun Runner deserves to be Horse of the Year. West Coast, the third-place finisher in the Classic, deserves to be the top 3-year-old. And trainer John Sadler deserves to win a Breeders’ Cup race. He’s 0 for 41. Next year’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships will be held Nov. 2-3 at Churchill Downs.

Everyone should appreciate what Arrogate accomplished, finishing with $17,422,600 in lifetime earnings. He leaves for Juddmonte Farms in Kentucky on Monday to begin his stud career.

The biggest disappointment was probably odds-on favorite Bolt D’Oro in the Juvenile finishing in third place. Owner-trainer Mick Ruis said the horse remains on course to represent the West Coast in the Kentucky Derby. He’s headed back to Santa Anita.“He’ll get 60 days,” Ruis said. “We’ll keep him there and tack walk him. We’ll plant some grass for him, just for him. He’s just a baby. We’ll let him grow into his 3-year-old season. He’s had a hard campaign.”

Brave Helios update

I’m learning patience is required as a first-time horse owner. Brave Helios was scratched from the Zuma Stakes on Oct. 9 because of a cough. Now he’s back in training, moving from Golden Gate to the barn of Mike Machowsky at Santa Anita. He’s had two good workouts and hopefully he’ll run in a mile turf race for 2-year-olds before the Del Mar winter meeting is over on Nov. 26.

And now here’s the star of the show: Sunday's Del Mar results.
