Racing! Too darn hot (nationally)
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as Rob Henie returns to give us a handicapping lesson.
The weather is the story this weekend nationally with full cards being cancelled today at Belterra Park, Delaware Park, Ellis Park, Finger Lakes, Laurel Park, Parx and Saratoga.
They are running at Monmouth, which has five stakes worth $100,000 or more. The crown jewel of the day is the $1 million Haskell Invitational. It’ll be on the big-boy NBC network at 2 p.m. PDT.
Monmouth, which is a couple miles from the Atlantic Ocean, is instituting heat protocols that it hopes will minimize the risk to horses. There are more vets and water trucks to immediately cool down horses, if needed.
So, why is the heat so dangerous. In something that may look like laziness of my part, I’m going to reprint parts of a story I did in 2016 on the filly Songbird running in extreme heat at Santa Anita.
I contacted Dr. Rick Arthur, equine medical director for the California Horse Racing Board, to have him explain things. (I like Rick, but I sure wish I didn’t have to talk to him as much as I do.)
Anyway, here’s an excerpt from that story to help you to understand how heat decisions are made.
“’The humidity is really the most important factor in a horse’s ability to dissipate heat,’ Arthur said. ‘The heat index at Santa Anita on these high, hot summers is not a problem. Now you do see problems when the weather turns quickly. But there are more problems in February when the temperature goes from 65 to 85 than when it goes from 85 to 95 or 100 in the summer.’
“The heat index is a combination of heat and humidity. Meteorologists like to use the phrase ‘feels like [temperature]’ as a way to explain it.
“Arthur has a simpler way of computing the danger, just add the temperature and humidity and you shouldn’t worry until it gets around 160 to 165.
“’Even when the temperature is 90 to 100 at Santa Anita, the heat index is higher at Del Mar when it’s in the 80s,’ Arthur said. ‘That has to do with the humidity.’
“Track vets and trainers are attuned at what to look for when horses are being affected by the heat. They become more anxious, they start to back up, throw their head back and start pawing the ground.
“’Unlike dogs, horses are like humans and they lose heat by sweating,’ Arthur said. ‘If you put water on them it takes the heat off. That’s why horses are sponged sometimes before or in the paddock and certainly after the races.’”
OK, that’s a quick primer on what’s going on. Thanks, Rick.
Weekly handicapping lesson
It’s time for our weekly handicapping lesson from Rob Henie of the WCHR (West Coast Handicapping Report) and the ECHR (East Coast Handicapping Report). The thinking is if you can know and understand the strategies, it will make you a better handicapper.
Today’s lesson is from the third race at Del Mar. The floor is yours, Rob.
“This is a $40,000 claimer at a mile on the turf. Top selection is COLLINS AVE (#9). He makes his West Coast debut following the claim by the Doug O’Neill barn, and if we can understand the dynamics with regard to the track and/or stock the invader is coming from, it can give us an edge over those who may not be quite in tune with the out-of-town venue. In this case, coming in from Belmont, he had been trying to close over a surface which was playing lightning fast on the front end, thus, a much more difficult task. In that last outing, he came home in 29 seconds flat, fantastic, but the conveyor belt never allowed for him to get close. Saturday, he’ll get a surface which has plenty of bounce in it, allowing for a much more fair opportunity for those trying to make up ground. The 7-2 morning line is high, we’re expecting in the 9-5 range, also a strong fit class wise against this particular group. SINGLE.
“Hot / Cold Race Trends: none
“Win Contenders (order of preference): 9-2
“X Out Runners (eliminating on the win end): 6
“Positive Notes:
“2 First in Show - Faces lesser, Glatt moves him out in distance, they remove the blinkers, and Rosario takes the mount, thus, certainly some positive attributes in his corner.
“3 Red Clem - Tries hard, and that’s never a bad trait to back in a horse.
“TOP PICK: COLLINS AVE (#9 7-2 Prat)
“SECOND CHOICE: FIRST IN SHOW (#2 8-1 Rosario)”

Del Mar review
The feature on Friday’s twilight card was the $90,000 Osunitas Stakes for fillies and mares going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. Despite the distance, under a masterful ride from Brice Blanc, Ahimsa went gate to wire to win by 1 ½ lengths.
Ahimsa, trained by Peter Eurton, paid $6.40, $3.80 and $3.20. Achira was second followed by Paved, then Zaffinah.
Del Mar preview
This is pretty good opening weekend card with two major stakes and one minor one. There are 10 races starting at 2 p.m. There are four turf races and two allowance races.
The big feature is up early as the fourth race, the Grade 2 $200,000 San Diego Handicap for horses going 1 1/16 miles. The last three winners were Catalina Cruiser, Accelerate and California Chrome.
The favorite is the returning champion, Catalina Cruiser, at 1-2 . He’s got John Sadler as the trainer and Joel Rosario as the rider. He’s won five-of-six lifetime including two stakes at Del Mar. Last out, he won the True North at Belmont Park. His only loss was a sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. He’ll be tough to beat.
The second favorite is Dr. Dorr for Bob Baffert and Rafael Bejarano. Jill Baffert is the owner. He’s five-of-17 lifetime and hasn’t won since March 31 of last year at Santa Anita.
Up next is the $85,000 Daisycutter Stakes for fillies and mares going five furlongs on the turf. It’s the sixth race. S Y Sky is coming off two wins in a row for owner Nick Alexander, who thought he won his first ever Grade 2, but a surface change made the Monrovia a Grade 3. The mare, at 7-2, is trained by Phil D’Amato and ridden by Drayden Van Dyke.
Kentan Road, at 9-2, is the second choice for Sadler and Jorge Velez. She has won two in a row, but not at the stakes level.
The final stakes is the eighth, the Grade 2 $200,000 San Clemente Stakes for 3-year-old fillies going a mile on the turf. Stillwater Cove, at 5-2, is the favorite for Wesley Ward and Victor Espinoza. This is his first West Coast start. He won last year at Saratoga in a minor stakes. He’s won two of seven races.
The second favorite is the lightly races Maxim Rate, at 3-1, for Simon Callaghan and Van Dyke. She’s won two-of-four lifetime races. She did win a Grade 3.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 5, 11, 6, 8, 10, 7, 10, 8, 10.

Bob Ike’s DM pick of the day
EIGHTH RACE: No. 1 Keeper Ofthe Stars (12-1)
Although it looks like she might have plenty of other speed to contend with, this sophomore filly has rattled off three straight wins at Golden Gate, including a monster win vs. older last time. She took heat throughout, turned away a couple challenges, then was widening again at the wire. Making her first start for Jonathan Wong, she should take these a long way at a nice price.
Friday’s result: Ippodamia’s Girl (6-1) was outsprinted for the lead, stalked three-wide, then faded badly to finish last. She clearly needs the lead to herself in order to fire her best shot.
Bob Ike is a Partner/VP of Horsebills.com (here’s a video) and the proprietor of BobIkePicks.com (full-card picks, 3 Best Plays and betting strategy).
Ed Burgart’s LA pick of the day
SIXTH RACE: No. 2 Lallybroch (4-1)
This filly debuts with two better-than-looked works and faces vulnerable favorites in Bigger Than Big and Dark Knight. In her last 12.4 gate drill, Lallybroch was geared down at the wire when straightening out after drifting inward early. She also was not asked for her best after breaking slow in first 12.8 second work. Bigger Than Big and Dark Knight both had comfortable outside post draws when third and second respectively in their latest starts.
