Racing! Louisiana Derby kicks off final major Kentucky Derby preps
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we get ready for the first of four big weekends on the Derby trail.
This is the first of four weeks of significant prep races for the Kentucky Derby. Basically, any horse that finishes first or second in the Louisiana, Florida, BlueGrass, Wood, Santa Anita and Arkansas derbies would have enough points to qualify for Kentucky. We caught up with Jay Privman of the Daily Racing Form for his thoughts on the upcoming races. You can read it here with a simple click.
As it mentions, today’s big deal is the $1-million Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds. The favorite, at 5-2, is My Boy Jack for trainer Keith Desormeaux. We caught up with Keith a few weeks back after My Boy Jack won the Southwest Stakes a Oaklawn. (You can read what Keith had to say here.) He had an interesting take on how the Kentucky Derby points qualifying system may not be fair as it should. Take a look.
There is also a stakes race on Sunday at Sunland Park. The winner gets 50 points, so that should qualify that colt. Simon Callaghan has All Out Blitz, the favorite at 4-1. Some pretty big trainer names have horses entered: Steve Asmussen, Peter Eurton, Jerry Hollendorfer, Richard Mandella, Doug O’Neill, Todd Pletcher and Dale Romans. Barring something really crazy, it’s unlikely the winner, if he goes, will get much attention in Louisville.
A handicapping tip
Here’s our weekly contribution 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 first race on Saturday at Santa Anita.
“Things begin with a $25,000 claimer at 1 ⅛ miles on the turf. Top choice in the opener is EAGLE SCREAMS (#2). As we often discuss in both the WCHR and ECHR, this sport rewards patience as well as a strategies, which often go hand in hand. This runner was claimed last month by Steve Miyadi out of a main track route, and now, he immediately stretches out to this ultralong 1 ⅛ distance, moves to the turf, removes the blinkers, instilling a set of drills with the last pretty quick by this barn’s standards, ¾ in 1:14. Off the claim it appears a plan is place, and we’ll fully expect a sharp effort for the new connections. LITTLE SCOTTY (#10) is in good health right now, stringing three races together off the brief freshening, now moved from a mile to this longer distance while Vladimir Cerin turns to Victor Espinoza which he doesn’t do often, interesting. Last time out they went 1:10.3 today, today, likely 2 to 3 seconds slower early, which should allow for more late, fitting well classwise.
“Hot / Cold Race Trends: none
“Win Contenders (order of preference): 2-10
“X Out Runners (eliminating on the win end): 5,9
“Positive Notes: 4 Excessive Kid - Frey fits this one well with his patient style, and on his best day, with a relaxed trip, this guy can be effective in a spot like this.
“Negative Notes:
“7 Unusual Meeting - Just not the right spot for Mulhall here, a wasted effort. “
“9 Buymeabond - Poor placement with Pedroza not a good fit either for this type of runner from of the pace on the sod.
“TOP PICK: EAGLE SCREAMS (#2 5-1 Ceballos)
“SECOND CHOICE: LITTLE SCOTTY (#10 4-1 Espinoza)”

Santa Anita review
Friday’s allowance feature, 1 1/16 miles on the dirt, was great if you played a longshot. A real longshot. Prince Of Arabia, ridden by Peter O’Toole, no, just kidding, it was Stewart Elliott, won the race by ¾ of a length at 35-1 odds.
He paid $73.00, $18.80 and $7.80 for trainer Jim Cassidy.
“I just told Stew, ‘He probably wants to go longer, but just make sure you have a target for him to run it,’” Cassidy told Mike Willman of Santa Anita. “The race set up pretty good for him. … This horse wants a mile and a quarter. Yeah, we’ll look at the Gold Cup [May 26].”
Santa Anita preview
It’s a 10-race card starting at noon with two good stakes races. The first is the Grade 2 $200,000 Santa Monica Stakes for sprinters going 7 furlongs. It’s not a great betting race with only five starters, but those that are entered are quality. Paradise Woods is the even money favorite, coming off a third in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff behind Forever Unbridled and Abel Tasman and second in the La Brea Stakes behind Unique Bella. That’s heavy company, for sure. Flavien Prat remains the rider for Richard Mandella.
Skye Diamonds, who we kind of wrote about a few weeks back (just click here), is the 5-2 second choice along with Selcourt. Skye Diamonds finished third in the 6-furlong Las Flores, which was won by Selcourt. Skye Diamonds was fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Fillies and Mare Sprint. This is Selcourt’s sixth lifetime race, she’s won three of five. It’s the fifth race and should go about 2 p.m.
The other feature is the Grade 2 $200,000 San Luis Rey Stakes over 1 ½ miles on the turf. It has 10 starters, and remember, they start on the hillside turf course, cross over the dirt, and the do a full lap around the track. Veteran Itsinthepost, a 6-year-old gelding, is the 6-5 favorite. This will be his 33rd career start, mostly for trainer Jeff Mullins and jockey Tyler Baze. He’s won his last two races, Grade 2s, after a seventh in the Breeders’ Cup Turf. Hayabusa One, for trainer Peter Miller and jockey Victor Espinoza, is the 5-2 second choice. He finished second in the San Marcos behind Itsinthepost.
The big betting news from the card is the early pick 5 has a carryover of $251,993, which could lead to pool of more than $2 million. With Paradise Woods in the fifth race, you could almost view this as a pick 4. Of course, the best horses sometimes lose.

Bob Ike’s SA play of the day
EIGHTH RACE: No. 5 Ride Lady Ride (6-1)
Sophomore filly from the hot Eric Kruljac stable chased and tired in two previous starts when facing better. She will appreciate the drop in class and switch back to dirt for connections (jockey Martin Pedroza) that are doing very well together.
Friday Result: Wild Lando lived up to his name, racing very erratically through the lane and badly impeding two horses, which triggered his obvious disqualification from second place.

Ed Burgart’s LA play of the day
SIXTH RACE: No. 2 My Suspiro (3-1)
He has the most upside while only making fourth lifetime start. He outran his 18-1 odds two races back when second vs. prior maiden $10,000 runnerup Cat Two Storm. In last fourth-place try, he was forced inward early after a sluggish start. Two of his well-regarded rivals in this field are winless in 19 combined starts.
