Horse racing newsletter: A book suggestion for you
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we look forward to another handicapping lesson from Rob Henie.
Don’t know about you, but I’m reading more than usual with entertainment options in short supply. I came across this book — actually I came across it when the author sent it to me — that I think a lot of you might like.
It’s called “The Greatest Gambling Story Ever Told.” The subtitle is “A true tale of three gamblers, the Kentucky Derby, and the Mexican Cartel.” That pretty much covers what the book is about. It’s by Mark Paul, a self-described action and adventure junkie wherever gambling takes place.
Now for the review. It’s a total summer read. It’s light, it moves quickly, it’s fun and I think horse players will really enjoy it. It’s only around 150 pages, so you can polish it off in a day. It’s built around placing a Kentucky Derby futures bet on Winning Colors in 1988. The bet is placed at Agua Caliente in Tijuana. Now, if any of you have been there, you know how things can be, shall we say, interesting.
I once went to Tijuana with friends with a stop at Del Mar for day racing and jai alai at night. I swear we were allowed to bet after the jai alai matches started. We still lost.
Anyway, I thought the book read in the genre called “nonfiction novel” as Mark wrote it in third person. So, I asked him about it and it’s a question he’s been asked before as he had an explanation on his website. You can access it here.
“At first, I chose to write as a first-person narrator. After all, it was my story. It didn’t work, and I tore up my first draft. I started writing again, using third-person point of view, and was delighted to feel freer; I got myself out of the way. I studied the genre of creative nonfiction and knew it would work. For inspiration, I watched every gambling movie ever made and hated them all because each had a depressing ending. My book had to be fun; I wanted to recreate the colorful gamblers and other deranged characters I’d met during the adventure!”
Now, if you’re not a fan of horse racing (why are you reading this newsletter?), Mark drops in little factoids about the sport and gambling through the first couple of chapters. But it doesn’t get in the way. I’m not going to give away the ending, but the fact he wrote it probably means the cartel didn’t do him in.
If interested, you can go to his site or find it on Amazon. It’s in all the usual formats.

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). Today’s analysis comes from the eighth race at Santa Anita and incorporates some handicapping angles into the mix. Rob, take it away.
“Bottom level claimers going 6½ furlongs for a $20,000 price tag, and understanding the stock in a race, especially at the maiden ranks where horses consistently move up and down, is so important. For example, when we look at who these runners have been facing, it becomes apparent, this is a $5,000 group disguised as better. Most in here were facing $8,000 types despite the listed $20,000 condition of the race that they are exiting. You need to consider they showed nothing, which is why they’re still a maiden. We can easily rationalize they are weaker than even $8,000 horses.
“If we take our pen and change the condition here to $5,000, the door is pretty wide open for first timer FUNANDFUNNY (#5). Would he be entered in a $20,000 if he were a maiden special type? No (not unless you’re Jason Servis; Maximum Security, remember?). We certainly can rationalize he’s a $5,000 type out of the box for Mike Puype, and we certainly like Joe Valdivia up, one of those jocks who’s been around for a long time. He understands how to judge pace, a horse’s demeanor, etc., one that seemingly improves later in their career, similar to how Corey Nakatani had a resurgence later on. Even Laffit Pincay seemed to get better as his riding days came to an end. We’ll look for a decent effort off that quick half-mile work last weekend.
“SHOW BUSINESS (#9) strings races together for the first time since November, now facing easily the worst group he’s ever lined up against. That listed $40,000 group was actually a $12,500 bunch, but that’s still much stronger than the $5,000 group on Sunday. Understand the stock can open the door the next time any of these run, since most will view Sunday’s tag as a $20,000 bunch, but we can gain an edge knowing just how poor it really was.
“Hot / Cold Race Trends: none
“Win Contenders (order of preference): 5-9
“X Out Runners (eliminating on the win end): 3
“Negative Notes:
“3 Moana Luna — Karen Headley has never messed around with regard to getting a horse ready to win early, so the fact this one is starting for the 11th time while at the bottom level isn’t a good thing.
“4 Rossman — Second against listed $25,000 runners, but in reality that was a $4,000 group.
“TOP PICK: FUNANDFUNNY (#5 10-1 Valdivia) Debut
“SECOND CHOICE: SHOW BUSINESS (#9 7-2 Prat)”

Santa Anita review
There were two stakes races Saturday at Santa Anita. Let’s look at them.
$100,000 Thor’s Echo Handicap: This race was for Cal-breds going six furlongs. You’ve heard of the “other Baffert” as a betting strategy, well, this was the “other Gaines.” Tiger Dad, considered by bettors to be a lesser value than Desert Law, drew off in deep stretch to win by three-quarters of a length.
Tiger Dad paid $7.60, $3.80 and $2.20. Principe Carlo was second followed by Desert Law, Loud Mouth and Oliver.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Carla Gaines (winning trainer): “He ran fantastic. He really dug in and Victor [Espinoza] knows him so well. As I said pre-race, my other horse [even money favorite Desert Law] needs a race off of a layoff. He got a little far back.”
Victor Espinoza (winning jockey): “He had a good race [last time out] and he had some time off, I think three weeks, almost a month and he needed to race. With that, he was set up perfectly for this race.
“I have been riding him quite a few times so I really have the confidence in him. When some other horse is outside, it is exactly what he wants because he won’t let them go by. I didn’t want to take the lead too soon because he has a bad habit of waiting for horses, so today I was just hoping the outside horse would keep going and keep me company all the way to the wire and it worked out perfectly.
“I think his preferred distance is maybe six and 6½ furlongs; sometimes he can go on the turf too. He can go 5½ furlongs, even six furlongs, unfortunately we don’t have six furlongs on the turf; he likes that. They have their options with him, dirt or turf.”
$75,000 Angel’s Flight: This is a 6½-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies. Been Studying Her looked like she would be the winner but Gingham clearly was better in the stretch to win by a length.
Gingham paid $5.40, $2.80 and $2.20. Been Studying Her finished second followed by Biddy Duke, High on Gin and Praise and Honor.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Bob Baffert (winning trainer): “Mike Smith showed a lot of confidence. You give him something to work with, he gets it done. He closes the deal.”
Mike Smith (winning jockey): “I thought this might be a good [distance] for her and I really think it is. It is probably what she wants. She’s never really gotten a chance to sprint before, but I remember last summer early on before she ever ran, Bob had some high expectations on her and she really never got to where he thought she should be. I think after watching this race it may be that she wants to split middle distance, that 6½ or seven-eighths. A one-turn mile would be brilliant, perfect.”
Santa Anita preview
Sunday’s card at Santa Anita is not too bad given the circumstance. The nine-race card starts at 1 p.m. More than half the card is on the turf (that means five). There are a minor stakes, two allowance/optional claimers and three maiden specials. That sounds good, but the fields are thin with four races having six starters before scratches.
The feature is not the penultimate race but the last one at 5:12 p.m. It’s the $75,000 Possibly Perfect Stakes for fillies and mares going 1¼ miles on the turf. The favorite, at 5-2, is Dogtag for trainer Richard Mandella and jockey Flavien Prat. Dogtag is coming off a win and a second at the allowance level after joining the Mandella barn. She has won three of eight lifetime.
The second choice is Desert Oasis at 3-1 for Neil Drysdale and Victor Espinoza. She has won two of her last three, the first win being a maiden special after going 0 for 6 in France. Prat rode her last out but elected to go to Dogtag. Read what you will into that, but Prat’s agent Derek Lawson doesn’t miss that often (except Omaha Beach, but Prat, incredibly, still won the Derby). Post is listed at 5:12 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 7, 6, 6, 10 (1 also eligible), 7, 6, 12, 7.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
RACE ONE: No. 1 Colonial Creed (5-1)
Colonial Creed makes the second start off the layoff for trainer Richard Baltas and Flavien Prat decides to stay here versus riding the favorite that he won on last out. Prat is winning 38% for Baltas. The 5-1 is value simply because getting that price on a Prat horse is big value. This jockey is on fire right now winning 32% and in-the-money an incredible 60%. That last race was on dirt and Sunday they move back to turf. There is a best of the day workout last week for a horse racing protected Sunday.
Saturday’s result: Rational was out for exercise, a disappointing thing to see.

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
RACE TWO: No. 3 All My Hope (9-2)
She has shown speed in all three career starts and each at a longer distance than she’ll be navigating this evening. The figures the 4-year-old has been earning are also slightly best in here with everything factored in (trouble and track variant) and also facing many question marks. With my top charting in tow and the addition of blinkers, All My Hope should be near the lead throughout and in the mix for all the board placings for a solid medium-sized shed row.
