Horse racing newsletter: Stewards’ rulings are back

(Getty Images)
Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we congratulate Donna Veloce on a well-earned win.

The stewards, or is it the CHRB, was tardy in not posting in time last week. Maybe it was because there weren’t a lot of interesting things to look at. Either way, let’s catch up with two weeks of rulings, including one almost cold case.

--Trainer Doug O’Neill was fined $400 for a late declaration on Exhort. He was supposed to run in the ninth race at Santa Anita on Feb. 22 but instead was moved to the fifth race at Golden Gate on Feb. 23. Exhort finished fourth. Money for that placing was $1,800.

--Apprentice jockey Jorge Velez was fined $200 for using the riding crop more than three times without allowing his mount, Sea of Liberty, a chance to respond in the sixth race on Feb. 21. Sea of Liberty won the race. The traditional jockey’s share of the purse would have been $2,376. It was Velez’s second infraction in the last 60 days.

--Apprentice jockey Victor Flores was fined $100 for using the riding crop more than three times without allowing his mount, Zees Empire, a chance to respond. Zees Empire finished seventh in the eight-horse race.

--Jockey Iggy Puglisi was fined $200 for using his riding crop four times without allowing his mount, Heartfullofstars, a chance to respond in the fourth race on Feb. 29. Heartfullofstars finished fourth. The traditional jockey’s share of the purse would have been $342. It was Puglisi’s second offense in the last 60 days.

--Groom Grantley Barrett was reinstated in good standing after a ruling on March 10, 2006 for failing to show for a stewards’ hearing regarding a financial complaint against him for $5,235. No stewards’ minutes are available on the CHRB website before 2007.

Kudos to Frank Mirahmadi

I ran into Santa Anita race caller Frank Mirahmadi in the press box on Saturday and I asked him when was the last time he had to call a 14-horse race before last week. Of course, his steel-trap recall told me exactly when he did that. We started talking about how the tough calls are the ones with very few horses.

Santa Anita’s second race on Sunday was a six-horse field which scratched down to three. Ruh, Roh. (I use that phrase occasionally, look up Scooby Doo if you don’t get it.) Anyway, I replayed the call three times—once with my eyes closed--and he filled every second as if it were a six- or eight- or more-horse race. Not the most memorable race, or, I’m guessing he wouldn’t think it was his best call of the day, but it was the one that stuck out to me as a great job under extremely difficult circumstances.

Now, luckily it was a 5 ½-furlong race. If it were a 1 1/8-mile race, it would have stretched even Frank’s considerable talent. But, as I’ve said before, we have the best announcing colony in Southern California compared to anywhere, and I say that with apologies to no one. Michael and Trevor, this is for you, too.

Shameless plug: If you want to know more about Frank, Michael or Trevor you can check out a profile I’ve done on each. Just click on their blue name.

Santa Anita review

The mark of a good horse is overcoming adversity and that’s what Donna Veloce did in winning the Grade 3 $100,000 Santa Ysabel for 3-year-old fillies going 1 1/16 miles. She stumbled at the start and then rated off the lead, when wide entering the stretch and won by 4 ¼ lengths. It was an impressive performance.

Donna Veloce paid $2.60, $2.10 and $2.10. Speech was second followed by Storie Blue, Paige Anne. Gidgetta and Tiz Fake News. The filly’s next likely start is in the Santa Anita Oaks, although nothing is official.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Simon Callaghan (winning trainer): “I thought it was a perfect race. We didn’t plan to take back like that. I thought she would be the fastest filly but Flavien [Prat] went to plan B, letting them go when she didn’t break good. She got a good schooling, got around them and I think that is gonna serve her to good effect in the future. It’s definitely a nice thing to have up your sleeve because particularly in the Oaks we go that distance and it’s a rough race with a big field. It’s nice to know that you can take back and she’ll relax well.

“After the Starlet (Dec. 7 at Los Alamitos) we gave her some time off, she really had done a lot in a short time and nearly pulled off the Breeders’ Cup (Juvenile Fillies), but it was nice to give her a break and bring her back then start her here in her 3-year-old campaign.

Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “She was ready, but she stumbled there at the break and that got us in behind those horses, so she was a little bit keen. When we turned down the backside, she dropped the bit and relaxed very well. It’s always great when they are able to adjust and I hope she can improve off of this race. She was full of run at the end and she handled everything well.”

DONNA VELOCE stumbled at the start but quickly recovered and pulled her way up a bit off the rail, stalked inside then just off the fence, bid three deep into the second turn, gained the advantage into the stretch, kicked clear under a steady hand ride then a hold nearing the wire. SPEECH dueled between horses then outside a rival on the backstretch, took a short lead between foes on the second turn, fought back off the rail into the stretch, could not match the winner but was clearly second best. STORIE BLUE settled off the rail, went outside a foe on the second turn and three wide into the stretch and gained the show. PAIGE ANNE stalked off the inside, angled in some on the second turn and weakened. GIDGETTA had good early speed and dueled inside, fought back on the second turn, fell back into the stretch and also weakened. TIZ FAKE NEWS bobbled some at the break, went up to press the pace three deep then stalked outside the winner on the backstretch, dropped back on the second turn, gave way and was eased in the drive.

ODYSSEUS stalked three deep then outside a rival leaving the backstretch and on the second turn, came three wide into the stretch, took the lead three deep under left handed urging in midstretch and gamely prevailed. COAST OF ROAN between horses early, angled in and stalked inside, came out into the stretch, bid between rivals in the drive, fought back inside the winner in deep stretch and could not quite match that one late. SUCCEEDANDSURPASS (IRE) went four wide into the first turn then stalked three deep, angled in outside a rival leaving the second turn, split horses in midstretch and finished with interest toward the inside. AVALANCHE also a step slow to begin, angled in and saved ground off the pace, came out leaving the second turn and four wide into the stretch and was edged for the show. LINCOLN CITY pulled between horses then inside and steadied into the firs turn, saved ground chasing the pace, came out into the stretch, was between foes in midstretch and was edged for a minor share. SOUTHERN KING also pulled inside and steadied when shuffled back passing the wire the first time, stalked inside, came out a bit in the stretch and could not quite summon the needed late kick. THE STREET FIGHTER a step slow to begin, swung five wide into the first turn then angled in and chased outside a rival, came three wide into the stretch, angled in some past midstretch and was outfinished. DARK PRINCE had speed outside then angled in and set the pace inside, fought back along the rail in the stretch and weakened late. CONTAGION stalked three deep then outside a rival on the second turn, came three wide into the stretch and lacked the necessary response.
