Racing! Del Mar starts to wrap up its Fall meeting with an eye to the future

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we look forward to Del Mar’s fall finales.

On Sunday, I asked you folks to send me what you were thankful for when it comes to horse racing. I got a lot of really great responses but could certainly use more. So send them along to johnacherwa@gmail.com. I’ll be publishing some of them on Thursday.

Thanksgiving at Del Mar, with a Thursday post of 11 a.m., will start the final weekend of the fall meeting. There will be eight stakes races, most on the weekend, but one each on Thursday and Friday.

When history judges this meeting at Del Mar, no doubt most of the praise should go to how officials executed the Breeders’ Cup. I know there have been calls to bring it back there as soon as 2019, but I just don’t see it. It will come back to Del Mar but not that soon.

It’s not a smart model to take racing away from the common person and cater only to the rich. Now that’s not to say that everyone at Del Mar was rich, but when they smartly capped the capacity around 38,000, there were a lot of people they had no spot for.

Santa Anita remains the California spot that can handle the biggest crowds that racing can throw at them. An analogy used during the Breeders’ Cup was that Santa Anita was a battleship and Del Mar a luxury yacht. Sometimes you need the firepower.

The answer is simple, but will never happen. Have a four-year rotation of Santa Anita-Del Mar-Santa Anita-and someplace else. We’ve got the weather, we’ve got the know how. Makes too much sense, and we know how racing deals with common sense.

TVG pickers update

Joaquin Jamie was the big star on this Sunday of TVG prognosticating. He bet one $.50 pick 4 ticket for $32 at Del Mar and hit it for a profit of $120.20. The personable Matt Dinnerman hit a pick 4 at Golden Gate for $30.45 put ended up losing for the day. And Dawn Lupul hit a late double at Woodbine and finished a shade above even. Here’s the rundown:

-- Jaime, betting Del Mar, won $120.20.

--Lupul, betting Woodbine, won $1.20.

--Dinnerman, betting Golden Gate, lost $5.50.

--Jeff Bratt, betting Woodbine, lost $26.40.

--Rich Perloff, betting Gulfstream and Laurel, lost $26.45.

--Matt Caruthers, betting Gulfstream, lost $42.

--Dave Weaver, betting Del Mar, lost $57.

Del Mar review

Favorite Edwards Going Left held on in the stretch to win the $100,000 Cary Grant Stakes for Calbreds going 7 furlongs. It was the gelding’s sixth win in nine tries for trainer John Sadler and his chief client, Hronis Racing. Tyler Baze was aboard.

Solid Wager was going for his third straight win in this race but came up a half-length short. Smokey Image, who won six in a row last year, finished third.

“I just wanted to keep him in the clear today and not let him get in trouble,” Baze said. “I could feel that horse [Solid Wager] coming. I’ve never hit this horse right-handed, because he tends to lug in. But I hit him right-handed and I think it surprised him. … It was a good race for him. He likes to win.”

Edwards Going Left paid $6.60, $4 and $3.
