Racing! He’s still running, but Arrogate is always worth a second look

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter. I’m glad the Dodgers games don’t conflict with racing.

The announcement last week that Arrogate will be retired after the Breeders’ Cup Classic made us want to take a look back at his spectacular career, including his third-place finish at Los Alamitos, his last-to-first in Dubai and his shocking losses at Del Mar. Here’s an almost complete video library of his races.

Thoroughbred Racing Commentary does this poll where they rate the best jockeys worldwide who are under 25. (You can see the full chart here.) The local jockey colony is well represented but not as well as New York. At the top, through some ranking system that is performance-based, is Jose Ortiz. There is a tie for second between Irad Ortiz Jr., Jose’s older brother by a year, and our own Flavien Prat. At ninth is Luis Saez, who races back East, and 12th is Drayden Van Dyke. who is moving up the ranks in Southern California.

Santa Anita review

The $100,000 California Distaff Handicap lost some luster when three horses scratched from the 6½ furlong turf race down the hill at Santa Anita. Barbara Beatrice benefited by winning the race by ¾ lengths over front-running Late ‘N Left. The race was wide open after Miss Sunset, the morning-line favorite, decided she would rather run next week in Keeneland than Saturday at Santa Anita, where she is stabled.

“I took ahold of her out of the gate and she rated very kind with me today,” winning jockey Tiago Pereira told Mike Willman of Santa Anita. “At the half-mile pole, Kent Desormeaux [on Moonless Sky] started to move, so I just followed him. When we crossed the dirt, I asked her and she took off. She really ran great today.”

Phil D’Amato was the winning trainer, owner and breeder. Barbara Beatrice paid $11.60 to win.

“She surprised me today,” D’Amato said. “I thought she’d be coming from behind, but I didn’t think there would be enough speed to set up for her. She kept coming today and I was impressed. This mare’s mother [Showtime Apollo] got hurt a long time ago when I was an assistant to Mike Mitchell. I really liked her and she had a lot of talent…. I got her and she has been nothing but good luck for me along the way. Nick Alexander was gracious enough to let me breed to Grazen and that combination has proven to be a good one.”

D’Amato said it was his first win as a breeder.

Santa Anita preview

More of the same when it comes to field size for Sunday’s card. Only races that are weak size-wise are the stakes race and starter handicap. Here’s the numbers for each race: 9, 9, 8, 10, 6, 11, 7, 10, 12 (2 also eligible). In all, another good betting day.

The feature is the $70,000 Speakeasy Stakes and don’t you just wonder what possessed them to name a race after something that hasn’t really existed since Prohibition? Maybe it’s the rich history of the race, going back to the ’20s. Nope, it’s only been around since 2013, replacing the popular Tim Conway Stakes, which lasted one year. Anyway, you’ve got some good horses in the race that could possibly be on the Derby trail. And by saying Derby trail, you know they are 2-year-olds. The race is 6 furlongs.

The 6-5 morning-line favorite is Mourinho, coming off a 4 ½-length win in his first race. Drayden Van Dyke was in the saddle for that race but lost the mount to Bob Baffert’s go-to rider Mike Smith. The colt was a $625,000 purchase at the Ocala Breeders sale. He ran his race either on or near the lead so that’s likely where he’ll be in the Speakeasy. Beautiful Shot, for Keith Desormeaux, is the 5-2 second choice. He also won his only race but in entirely different fashion, coming from way off the pace to win by a nose over 5½ furlongs. Candy Crew, for John Sadler, is the third choice at 4-1. He’s also one for one winning by 3¾ lengths at Los Alamitos. He was bought for $80,000 out of the same sale as Mourinho.

Jeff Nahill's spot play

FIRST RACE: #4 Camino Del Paraiso (4-1)

Trainer OJ Jauregui ships this gelding down from Northern California and he doesn't do that much so there is a purpose here. Despite the class hike going to the better circuit, jockey Kent Desormeaux jumps on. Desormeaux is a masterful turf rider and when he gets on a horse for the first time that horse usually shows improvement, which will be needed here. Jauregui is 3-for-7 with horses in the allowance ranks.

Saturday’s result: Battleground State was wide throughout in the ninth race, but jockey Flavien Prat took the lead at the head of the stretch and held on, paying $7.80 for the win.

Ed Burgart’s LRC spot play

FIFTH RACE: #4 Pam’s Joy (5-2)

This 4-year-old was impeded early from an inside post when unable to show her usual early speed in last; runs her best when drawn near the outside; has top distance rider Juan Sanchez back up.
