Racing! Here’s hoping for even cooler temperatures
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we check in with the TVG handicappers.
We haven’t gone down this rabbit hole in a while but it’s a newsletter fan favorite, except for the couple of people who always email to say how unfair I am to the TVG handicappers.
And, as I’ve always said, there are some good handicappers there—very good, in fact. I just get tired of them offering up mostly pick four and picks fives. The reason? It keeps people around longer and the longer you are around you may get sucked in to making other bets. And TVG is a gambling service disguised as a broadcast channel. But horse racing fans would be lost without it.
A good example of the kind of wagers I would like them to offer up is what Scott Hazelton did on Sunday, where he touted a win-place-show bet on Fig Jelly (8) in the sixth at Belmont. He won and that $6 bet returned $14.60. However, Scott lost $27 on his Belmont pick four, $24 on his Los Alamitos pick five and $24 on his Los Al pick four.
OK, as for the results, Megan Devine, who you might remember as one of the simulcast commentators at Santa Anita, had the big score of the day with a $.50 pick four that paid $110.90 at Laurel. However, she was also asked to pick at Arlington, Ellis Park and Woodbine and struck out on those and finished with a profit of $13.10.
Now, the real lost opportunity was Matt Carothers and Rich Perloff, both betting Belmont. They both got four of five, missing different races. But the other one got the missed pick correct. So, if you could have combined the best of the two, you could have tapped in to a $1 pick five that paid more than $1,500.
Vic Stauffer did hit the pick five at Fort Erie. I thought I knew my racetracks but I had to idea where that track was located. It’s in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. Problem with Vic’s pick is he spent $45 on a $.20 pick-five combination. The $.20 ticket paid about $9.10.
--Devine, betting Arlington. Ellis Park, Laurel and Woodbine, won $13.10.
--Dawn Lupul, betting Woodbine, lost $15.40.
--Jeff Bratt, betting Woodbine, lost $20.80.
--Perloff, betting Belmont, lost $36.
--Hazelton, betting Belmont and Los Alamitos, lost $66.40.
--Carothers, betting Belmont and Gulfstream, lost $67.
--Tom Cassidy, betting Monmouth, lost $76.
--Stauffer, betting Fort Erie and Woodbine, lost $83.90.
End of a streak
We normally don’t pay much attention to a stakes race restricted to Ontario-breds. But, at Woodbine, Pink Lloyd’s 11-race winning streak ended when he finished third, losing to Kingsport in the $100,000 Shepperton Stakes. Jacks Escarpment was second. There was only win betting and Kingsport paid $39.00.
Who goofed, I’ve got to know?
In Sunday’s newsletter I said some horses might be headed south to Del Mar. Not yet. The barns don’t open until Thursday. Although, having made that drive from the San Gabriel Valley, leaving now may not be a bad idea.
Los Alamitos thoroughbred review
The featured race at Los Alamitos was a maiden special weight with a purse of $40,000. Owning, making his first start, won the 5 ½ furlong race by 2 ½ lengths in a small field of five. Paul Reddam bought the colt for $260,000 earlier this year. Reddam, who has most of his horses with Doug O’Neill, has some, including Owning, with trainer Simon Callaghan.
Owning paid $8.60, $4.20 and $3.00. Tariq was second and More Ice was third. Mario Gutierrez was the jockey.

OLD INDIAN TRICK bobbled at the start, went up inside to duel for the lead, took the advantage in the stretch, inched away under urging a bit off the rail nearing the eighth pole and held gamely. LIVIN ON PRAYER stalked outside then three deep on the turn and four wide into the stretch and continued willingly to be second best. OSTINI chased a bit off the rail then inside, came out on the turn and four wide into the stretch and picked up the show. GOLDIE'S HILLS dueled between horses, fought back on the turn and into the stretch, drifted in at the eighth pole and weakened. DIXIE DOO RUN RUN wide early, angled in and dueled three deep to the stretch and also weakened. MACHETE settled off the pace away from the inside, came five wide into the stretch and did not rally. DEATH DEALER broke a bit slowly, angled in and saved ground off the pace and lacked a response in the drive. JERRY'S THUNDER stalked a bit off the rail then between foes, continued just off the inside on the turn and into the stretch, angled in some in the drive, was being eased in the final furlong, was unsaddled at the seven eighths pole and vanned off.
