Racing! It’s time for Del Mar to get its say on the fall meeting

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as Del Mar weighs in on its current meet.

Lately, I’ve been poking Del Mar for its secondary fall meeting as something the track didn’t really want. This was a conclusion I got from talking to a few industry experts including some at Del Mar.

This contention drew some raised eyebrows from Mac McBride, their media czar for a little more than a decade. Now if you know Mac, raised eyebrows is akin to a rant from most people as Mac has always been a gentle soul.

He, and one longtime Del Mar resident, said they welcomed the Fall meeting when Hollywood Park closed. I point to the fact they had to be asked by the CHRB to take it.

But let’s let Mac have his say.

“When Hollywood closed, we were asked by the state to pick up days in the fall to keep the circuit viable, whole and offering some variety. We’re very much in favor of all of that, so we signed on.

“Since then, we’ve run a much more lucrative, positive and fan-friendly session here than existed previously, one that has grown a bit better each year as the horsemen and racing fans adapt and adjust to the new reality.

“If you’ve been to our fall stand, you’ll find that it is a lovely, old-school race meet; low key (minus many of the out-of-town party animals and their wallets that we love to have join us in the summer) and populated by mostly locals who just like horse racing.

“Despite the subdued atmosphere, we are the big dog in the simulcast world during November, allowing us to make the state and our horsemen a pretty decent chunk of change. As far as the Del Mar staff, working only four days a week instead of five makes the gig seem almost easy with a lot less scurrying about in the cooler air.

“Our fall meet is never going to be anywhere near the equal of our summer session, but it is a nice interlude and freshener for all followers of the sport in Southern California. Please know we don’t think of it as the red-headed stepchild. It is one of our own now.”

Well said, Mac.

If I had to amend my comments I might add the word “initially” to “didn’t want.” I stand by that.

Also from the mailbag

In response to Del Mar having races for Bob Hope, Betty Grable, Desi Arnaz and Cal-bred favorite Cary Grant, one reader wondered why there are no races named for Telly Savalas, Jack Klugman and Walter Matthau. My guess is they were more identified with Santa Anita and Hollywood Park. You know, like Cary Grant. Oh, wait.

What are you thankful for?

This may be a corny idea. In fact, we know it’s a corny idea. But thinking that maybe a “What we’re thankful for in horse racing,” could make a nice Thanksgiving newsletter. So, send me what you are thankful for as it relates to horse racing. Put Thanksgiving in the subject line and send to johnacherwa@gmail.com. If I get enough responses we’ll go for it on Thursday. If we don’t get enough, it’s like it never happened.

Del Mar review

Dream Tree was able to hold on to barely win the $100,000 Desi Arnaz Stakes for 2-year-old fillies over 7 furlongs. But it was Midnight Bisou who proved to be more impressive with a strong stretch rally after getting blocked on the rail.

It was a good ride by Drayden Van Dyke for the Bob Baffert filly but the effort made it seem like the horse could struggle around two turns, although at her young age it’s always difficult to tell.

“It isn’t that she pulls herself up,” Van Dyke said. “She just idles a little bit in that last 16th. She did it [in her first start] and she did it some again today. … But she’s talented, no doubt.”

Rafael Bejarano was aboard Midnight Bisou.

“I ran out of racetrack,” Bejarano said. “If I have another jump or two, I think we win. She’s just a little green. She only had the one race [also losing to Dream Tree]. She’s getting the experience she needs.”

Dream Tree paid $4.00, $2.80 and $2.40. Secret Spice finished third.

Del Mar preview

Del Mar is pushing today’s feature to near the end of the nine-race card by making the $100,000 Cary Grant Stakes the eighth race. We’ve mentioned this week that it’s for 3-year-old and up Calbreds going 7 furlongs.

The favorite, going for the John Sadler-Hronis Racing team, is Edwards Going Left, at a lukewarm 3-1. He’s won five of his eight starts this year. Tyler Baze gets the mount.

But there’s also Solid Wager, a 6-year-old gelding, at 7-2. He’s won this race the last two years, so he knows the drill. Or red-hot trainer Peter Miller knows the drill. Victor Espinoza is in the saddle.

Remember last year, when we thought a colt named Smokey Image just might a Calbred destined for great things after winning his first six races? Then he flattened out in the San Felipe and Santa Anita Derby. He hasn’t won since then and is at 8-1 for trainer Carla Gaines and jockey Gary Stevens.

We know what you’re thinking. You were hoping there was a horse named Judy Judy Judy running in the Cary Grant. There was a mare foaled in 2011 with the name. She did pretty well running the Kentucky circuit, winning eight of 25 lifetimes races and won almost $125,000.

Bob Ike’s DM play of day

EIGHTH RACE: No. 7 Edwards Going Left (3-1)

Hard-knocking sophomore from John Sadler barn has proved to be an excellent $50,000 claim as he tries to become a stakes winner today. Coming off a sharp allowance win vs. open company, the Cal-bred son of Midnight Lute should get an ideal trip from outside and would have been right there without trouble the last time he tried this 7 furlong distance.

Saturday Result: Bolitar was dead on the tote board and ran like it, never looking like a winner at any point.

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 play of day

FIFTH RACE: No. 1 Palm Canyon (5-2)

She has been privately purchased by high-percentage connections since last improved runnerup try one month ago when tracking the pacesetting winner throughout. Mare catches a paceless field and 8-5 morning-line favorite Royal Red is void of early zip.
