Racing! What do Max Kellerman, ‘Goodfellas’ and Warren Buffett have in common?

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter and there’s a pretty good card on Saturday at Santa Anita.

We’ll lead off today’s newsletter with our Q&A interview with a horse racing figure about everything but horse racing. Today’s subject is popular jockey Joe Talamo courtesy of my colleague Eric (Manny) Sondheimer.

Q&A with Joe Talamo

What’s your favorite TV show that you are currently watching?

That’s a good one. Me and my wife watch “This Is Us” and that show with Max Kellerman, “First Take” on ESPN.

If you weren’t a jockey what would you be?

Probably a used car salesman.

What’s your all-time favorite movie or book?

Movie is probably “Goodfellas.” As for a book it would be “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” (by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. A self-help personal finance book).

If you could have lunch or dinner with anyone living or dead, who would it be?

Warren Buffett.

What’s on the top of your bucket list?

Win the Kentucky Derby.

What’s your favorite food?

I’m pretty biased being from New Orleans, so I like Cajun food. But I love good Italian food too.

What’s your favorite type of music?

I love Motown, that and Frank Sinatra. I’m a very old soul when it comes to music. I love the oldies.

Breeders’ Cup preview

Today’s video preview of the Breeders’ Cup, starring Jeff Siegel and Aaron Vercruysse, is a must-see (watch here) because they look at the top European horses coming to Del Mar. I don’t know about you but I can’t make heads or tails of the past performance lines you get on horses running outside the U.S. We’re just used to getting more calls and information. In case you missed them, this is the xbtv previews discussing the pre-entries for the Classic and Turf (watch here) and the Juvenile and Juvenile Fillies (watch here).

Santa Anita preview

Santa Anita has a great card on Saturday with 11 races and a special 12:15 first post. (Same on Sunday.) There are five turf races, the first, third, sixth, ninth (a stakes) and 11th. The field sizes remain good, and here are the numbers: 8, 9, 11, 7, 7, 11, 9, 10, 11, 10 12 (2 also eligible).

The highlight is the Grade 2 $200,000 Twilight Derby at 1 1/8 miles on the turf, a very competitive race (about 4:19 p.m.). The favorite, at 7-2, is Sharp Samurai, winner of his last three races, all stakes, two graded. He can come off the pace or hang near the lead. He won the Del Mar Derby by ½ -length over Big Score and Bowies Hero, both of whom are in this race. Sharp Samurai has won four of five turf races lifetime and will have regular rider Gary Stevens aboard the Mark Glatt-trained gelding.

“Everything has gone well,” Glatt told Ed Golden of Santa Anita. “He’s training well and I think the time between races (once a month) has been great for him.”

Just Howard, at 4-1, is shipping in from Maryland, where he has won four in a row. Graham Motion is the trainer and he is bringing jockey Fergal Lynch with him. Big Score, at 4-1, last won five starts back in the Transylvania Stakes at Keeneland. He gets his regular rider of Flavien Prat for trainer Tim Yakteen.

But the star of the day may be in the fifth race (about 2:18 p.m.) when 6-year-old Hoppertunity runs in the $70,000 Comma to the Top Stakes over a mile. Hoppertunity hasn’t run since March, when he finished sixth in the Dubai World Cup. Hoppertunity has won more than $4 mill in 26 lifetime starts for trainer Bob Baffert. Prat will be aboard. Irish Freedom, also for Baffert with Rafael Bejarano riding, is the second choice at 5-2. Irish Freedom has won two of four races lifetime.

“On thing about Hopper, he’s a good horse,” Baffert told Golden. “He’s got a lot of class behind him and he’s doing really well. He’s a barn favorite. He’s been around forever. Old Hopper, it seems like he’s been here for 10 years, but he’s come back really well. I’m thinking maybe the Clark at Churchill Downs (Nov. 24) and then maybe another run at Dubai.”

Elsewhere preview

Here’s a look at Saturday’s graded stakes or races worth $100,000 or more. All times at PDT.

4:19 Santa Anita: Twilight Derby, Grade 2, $200,000; 3 year olds,1 1/8 miles on the turf. Favorite: (see above)

There are two big races at Indiana Downs on Saturday, but as of press time, the track is keeping the entries and odds a secret from equibase and drf.com, where I usually get the information.

Indiana Downs: Miss Indiana Stakes, $100,000, fillies, 2 year olds, 1 mile and 70 yards.

Indiana Downs: Too Much Coffee Stakes, $150,000, 3 and up, 1 1/16 miles.

Jeff Nahill’s SA spot play

SECOND RACE: No. 7 Lipster (5-1)

This gelding has been forwardly placed in both of his starts and he is cutting back a half-furlong today which should help. Jockey Stewart Elliott keeps the mount on the 2-year-old that is dropping from Cal-bred maiden claiming $50,000 to open maiden claimers for $30,000. Has a good work since his last race.

Friday’s result: Langham just never showed any acceleration in the stretch crossing the dirt down the hill and finished sixth in the eighth race at 6-1.

Jeff Nahill is a quality editor for the San Diego Union-Tribune. He can be reached at jeff.nahill@sduniontribune.com. For other selections go to his blog: fromthewinnerscircle.me

Ed Burgart’s LA spot play

NINTH RACE: No. 5, Purr Haps (7-2)

She was never asked for her best in last 3/4-length maiden win for new trainer Matt Fales, who won with seven of 14 starters over the past month. She has upside vs. five rivals whose best races came earlier this meet.

THORPE D'ORO sped to the early lead off the rail, dueled outside the runner-up throughout, regained a slim advantage in the stretch and gamely prevailed under urging. IMPRESSION went up inside to duel for the lead, put a head in front on the hill, fought back along the rail through a long, hard drive and continued gamely to the end. ZIPMAN chased outside then alongside a rival on the hill, came four wide into the stretch and finished well to get the show. CATS BLAME between horses early, stalked a bit off the rail then inside, came off the rail in the stretch and was edged for third late. UNCLE BILLY had speed off the rail then stalked four wide, angled in alongside a rival on the hill and into the stretch and was edged for a minor award between foes late. LANGHAM tugged his way between horses then three deep, angled in and stalked outside a rival to the stretch and lacked the needed rally, then collapsed on the clubhouse turn while being pulled up and was vanned off. MESUT pulled early, chased a bit off the rail then steadied and angled in midway on the hill, came out leaving the hill and three wide into the stretch and could not offer the necessary response. AVALANCHE settled outside a rival then inside, came out in upper stretch, angled to the inside in the drive and did not rally. DUDE'S DUDE saved ground chasing the pace, hopped then bobbled onto the dirt crossing, came out some in the stretch and weakened. Rail on hill at 14 feet.
