Racing! Quick, someone hustle over to the drugstore and get that film developed

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we ponder how long is too long to figure out a winner.

Though the feature Saturday at Del Mar was the $100,000 Bob Hope Stakes, the race that had everyone talking was the third, where stewards took well in excess of 10 minutes to call a race a dead heat. OK, I understand the need to get it right, but we have this fancy new piece of equipment called a computer that can cut things down to a pixel.

Kudos to Simon Bray and Dave Weaver of TVG, I think those were the guys, who wouldn’t let the issue die as we waited and waited.

In an interview with TVG’s Joaquin Jaime, who asked all the right questions, steward Scott Chaney said just to make sure, they called for the print of the finish rather than rely on the technology that allowed us to put a man on the moon. Well, he didn’t say the man on the moon part. But that’s what it sounded like.

Huh? You wanted a print and then what? Did you lay down a ruler across their noses and let your eyes to make the decision?

Hopefully there was a Walgreens or CVS with express Saturday service nearby to take the film to. You know, right next to the Blockbuster with the newspaper honor boxes in front.

Dog tracks with 50 people in attendance make decisions on races way quicker than that, and dogs have tiny cute noses sniffing their way around dimly lighted tracks.

Race tracks across the world do it quicker than in the richest country on the planet. Is it a matter of them not having the right equipment? If that’s the case raise the price of a hot dog or the popular Cuban sandwich by a nickel and it’ll be paid for almost as quick as it took them to make a decision on Saturday. (Hyperbole alert.)

You wonder if part of the problem was that the two horses were Ishi, the favorite at even money, and Minoso, a 50-1 shot. I’m not suggesting the stewards did anything but make the correct decision to make it a dead heat. I am not questioning their integrity. Repeat, am not. But, you wonder if it would have taken so long if it were an even-money horse and a 4-1, where the impact to the bettors wouldn’t have been so severe.

Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux ruffled some people in the industry when earlier this year he suggested that the finish line can move to fit what the stewards want. He called for an overhaul of the entire photo-finish process.

So, if the equipment is outdated, let’s get new equipment.

The digital finish line at Arlington Park in Chicago was cited as being state of the art. Well, if that technology is available let’s get it in the state that wants to be the best racing state in the country.

C’mon folks, it’s not that difficult.

Del Mar review

Greyvitos, whose name derived from his color, broke his maiden in superior style by winning the $100,000 Bob Hope Stakes for 2-year-olds over 7 furlongs. Trainer Adam Kitchingman added blinkers and it apparently helped as the colt went wire to wire over an impressive field of colts.

Favorite Mourinho, for trainer Bob Baffert, was poised to make a stretch run but Greyvitos showed no signs of tiring and won by 1½ lengths.

“I knew there was a lot of speed in the race but if I could get the jump on them then I would just go on,” said winning jockey Victor Espinoza. “The fractions were pretty quick but when the horse is doing it easy it doesn’t matter how fast you go.”

Greyvitos paid $41.80, $9.20 and $3.40. Mourinho returned $3.60 and $2.60 while Beautiful Shot, for Keith Desormeaux, paid $2.60 to show.

“I wasn’t surprised to see him on the lead,” Kitchingman said. “In his last race, he was climbing with the dirt hitting him and so I was OK with him on the lead today. … I also figured he’d like the seven furlongs. His next race will be the Futurity at Los Alamitos.”

Del Mar preview

After a rousing 5 ½-length down the hill turf win at Santa Anita, what better place to put How About Zero than 7 furlongs on the dirt in the $100,000 Betty Grable Stakes?

That’s why trainer Doug O’Neill has two more Kentucky Derby wins than any other trainer in this race. He knows stuff we don’t. The morning line in this race for fillies and mares 3 and up also respects that move making How About Zero the 3-1 favorite.

Zero won that Santa Anita race on Oct. 19 after a nine-month layoff.

“When she ran big last time, we found that she runs well fresh,” O’Neill’s chief assistant Leandro Mora told Del Mar publicity. “She’s a dual runner, she’s good on dirt or turf and this race the timing was perfect for her.

“She pretty much likes to be forwardly placed in her races, but that [strategy] will be up to Doug and [jockey] Mario [Gutierrez] when they get together in the paddock.”

A good rival will be Majestic Heat for Richard Mandella. She will be running her first dirt race and has won three of seven lifetimes races at Del Mar. She’s at 7-2, followed by Bad Ju Ju for lightning hot Peter Miller, at 4-1.

The six-horse race will be the eighth on a nine-race card, going off about 4 p.m. There are four turf races on Sunday, including two (seventh and ninth) with 14-horse fields.

Bob Ike’s DM spot play

EIGHTH RACE: No. 2 Late 'n Left (8-1)

Hard-knocking filly from the low-profile Saavedra barn appears to be the controlling speed in this Cal-bred stakes race and has won three of four starts at Del Mar. Her overall record of five wins and five seconds from 16 career starts is excellent and she offers generous value if close to her morning line price.

Saturday’s result: Horseplayers' lament, running first and third in the exacta as Cool Bobby got the win but All Out Blitz could only manage a distant third.

Bob Ike is a Partner/VP of Horsebills.com and the proprietor of BobIkePicks.com (full-card picks, 3 Best Plays and betting strategy).

Ed Burgart’s LA spot play

NINTH RACE: No. 3 Kissed By An Eagle (7-2)

He moved with terrific energy under a hand ride during the final 1/16 of last impressive trial win when only making fourth start this year. He has plenty of upside while the majority of his competitors have campaigned with regularity this year.
