Racing! McKinzie seems ready for more
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we also congratulate Beau Recall.
It was really great to see trainer Bob Baffert choking up after McKinzie won the $1 million Whitney Stakes at Saratoga. It’s not like he’s shocked at winning a big race, but he won a big race with a horse named for one of his best friends, the late Brad McKinzie.
McKinzie, with Mike Smith aboard, ran a near perfect race going to the front and then settling into the second position, poised to move when they entered the stretch. The winning margin was 1 ¾ lengths. Yoshida was second and Vino Rosso finished third.
“This win is very emotional for me,” Baffert said. “I got very emotional after he won. I was hoping that when I was thinking about running here, I’d never won this race and wanted to see her here so it’s kind of sad. It’s a great honor to win the Whitney. I’ve never won the Whitney, so this is a huge moment for me.”
Smith was equally as happy.
“That was incredible, he ran big,” Smith said. “There were some good horses in there so he had to run, but he ran. That’s the important thing. He had to work at it, but he got away from them and the best part of it was at the end of the race. That gives me confidence going a mile and a quarter down the road. The break was huge. [Saturday], he felt better than he ever had. I knew he was going to jump well today.”
Not sure if there is an intermediary step but the Breeders’ Cup Classic is in the cards.
Who goofed, I’ve got to know?
I mentioned that Arizona Downs had shut its meet down early in Saturday’s Michael Wrona story. It reopened a couple weeks ago.
Del Mar review
In the first stakes of the day, the Grade 2 $200,00 Sorrento Stakes for 2-year-old fillies going six furlongs. Amalfi Sunrise took the lead midway the far turn and rolled to a six-length win.
Amalfi Sunrise paid $3.40, $2.60 and $2.10. Powerfulattraction was second and Shedaresthedevil was third.
Here’s what the connections had to say:
Simon Callaghan (winning trainer): “It really was impressive the way she drew away at the end. She’s a naturally fast filly and that’s the way she likes to run, up near the pace. She took a lot of heat and still was able to pull away which was very professional.”
Norberto Arroyo, Jr. (winning jockey): “Oh, I had a ton of horse. She’s a very nice filly. Maybe the best filly I’ve ever been on to this point, and I’ve been on some nice fillies. She’s something special.”
In the more interesting feature, the Grade 2 $200,000 Yellow Ribbon Stakes for fillies and mares going 1 1/16 miles on the turf, Beau Recall pulled a minor upset winning by a nose over longshot Storm the Hill. Vasilika finished third.
Beau Recall paid $6.00, $3.60 and $2.20.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say:
Donnie Balthazar (assistant to trainer Brad Cox): “Brad just told me to keep her happy and get her to the race happy and healthy. Brad called Drayden [Van Dyke] earlier [Saturday] and then Drayden and I just touched base before the race to go over what Brad said. After that, it was him and her. I was nervous at the finish and then it got even more nerve wracking with the objection. I’ve come out here before when we have one running, but I’ve never won a stakes like this.”
Drayden Van Dyke (winning jockey): “That incident (near the far turn) cost me at least half a length. I got pushed out. My mare was going good and got thrown off stride. She was game. She was coming good. I was hoping I got there, but I had no idea.”
Del Mar preview
Week three wraps up with an eight-race card and one graded stakes race and two allowance races. There are three races on the turf. The feature is the Grade 3 $150,000 La Jolla Handicap for 3-year-olds going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. It goes as the seventh race at about 5 p.m.
The favorite, at 2-1, is Neptune’s Storm for trainer Richard Baltas and jockey Drayden Van Dyke. He is four-of-nine lifetime and has won his last two races and three of his last four. The last two wins were in ungraded stakes and this is his first graded stakes.
Jasikan is the 5-2 second choice for John Sadler and Flavien Prat. He is three-of-five lifetime and we last saw him winning the Oceanside Stakes on opening day. He has also won his last two races.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 7, 7, 10, 8, 12 (1 also eligible), 8, 11.

Bob Ike’s Dmr pick of the day
SIXTH RACE: No. 12 Distinctive B (7-2)
Outside post with a history of firing fresh, this old-timer from the Peter Miller barn likes to win races, runs well at Del Mar, has won his last two under Flavien Prat and does well at the distance. No knocks, so expect this gelding to fire a big shot in his return.
Saturday’s result: Equal Measure proved much the best with an easy win to pay $10.20 to win.
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
FOURTH RACE: No. 4 Wildness (2-1)
With a two-level class drop, this filly should be exceptionally tough to beat if she breaks close to the lead. She broke one length slow in last fourth-place try when facing sharp winner Piety, who since beat allowance company easily. She also broke slow when fourth in debut vs. Suite Expectations, who beat allowance company in her next start. Despite her troubled recent fourth, Wildness still earned a 73 Trackmaster speed figure, easily best in this group.

ZUCCHERA broke a bit slowly, saved ground off the pace, moved up a bit along the inside in the stretch then was in tight a furlong out and did not rally. CALENTITA (IRE) stalked outside a rival then between horses, dropped back between foes on the second turn and gave way.
