Horse racing newsletter: Thistledown in the news
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter, as we congratulate Galilean for his win in the Soi Phet at Los Alamitos.
Let’s do some odds and ends.
— It doesn’t happen very often, but there was a major screw-up during the first race at Thistledown on Tuesday. Apparently, someone at Equibase entered the wrong scratched horse into the database before the race. Matt Hegarty of the Daily Racing Forum had the best account of what happened. You can read it here.
Let’s quote from the story.
“[A statement said the] Equibase chartcaller at Thistledown ‘received accurate scratch information’ prior to the race but made the error when inputting the information into the database. As a result, many websites showed the 1 horse being scratched prior to the race being run, and not the horse’s entrymate, the 1A. The 1 horse, Chargedwith Intent, won the race and paid $18 to win.”
Wouldn’t you figure that horse would win. TVG refunded all non-winning wagers. NYRA Bets refunded all the money. Not sure what TwinSpires and Xpressbet-1st/Bet did but suspect it was very similar.
— In something that happens, well, never, we have a second item from Thistledown. Santa Anita-based Storm the Court was the favorite and Flavien Prat flew out to ride him. If you remember, Storm the Court was the upset winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and was thought to be a definite Kentucky Derby contender.
Expectations were high going into the San Vicente, but he finished fourth. Then there was the San Felipe, where he finished third. From there, the Arkansas Derby, where he was sixth. So, the Ohio Derby might have been a softer spot to regain his confidence. He broke a step slow and ran well but could do no better than third behind Dean Martini and South Bend, who was flying at the end.
It’s unclear what trainer Peter Eurton has in mind from here, but he’s a smart guy and will make the right decision.
— Ron Flatter has written a lot about the Kentucky Derby futures. So, let’s look at where they stand around early evening on Saturday. One more day to go in this round.
1. Tiz The Law (2-1), 2. Honor A.P. (5-1), 3. Authentic (10-1), 4. Café Pharoah (14-1), 5. Dr Post (17-1). There is “all other horses” which is at 12-1.
— Finally, while trying to work through yet another uneventful Saturday afternoon, I was watching TVG, which is normally my horse racing network of choice. But, I just couldn’t handle race after race from, to be kind, average tracks. NYRA and Fox have Belmont and Churchill, so I switched over. And, I thought it was a nice alternative.
While there was certainly a fair amount of betting information, I didn’t have the feeling like I was at a timeshare presentation for betting at the TVG ADW. Yes, I understand TVG, the network, doesn’t exist without TVG, the ADW.
But sometimes the constant drumbeat of betting horizontals becomes too much to bear. (As an aside, since the CHRB couldn’t get the Santa Anita final stewards’ rulings published in time, I may have to resort to charting the TVG handicappers for the Monday newsletter, unless something better comes along.)

Los Alamitos daytime review
The feature Saturday was the $100,000 Soi Phet Stakes for Cal-breds going a mile. The winner with big acceleration in the middle of the long Los Alamitos stretch was Galilean, who won by four lengths.
Galilean paid $4.00, $3.40 and $3.00. Grinning Tiger was second, followed by Brandothebartender, Loud Mouth, King Abner, Take the One O One, Lymebyrd and Three Ay Em.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Alex Bisono (assistant trainer for John Sadler): “It was a good win. I wish he had run a little bit straighter down the stretch, but he didn’t bother anybody because he was clear. He was comfortable the whole way. I definitely think he’s a better two-turn horse and he likes this track.”
Juan Hernandez (winning jockey): I talked to John Sadler this morning, and he told me to try and sit just outside the speed. This horse relaxed perfectly and I wanted to wait until the stretch to make a move and he exploded when I asked him. He was lugging in some, but I corrected him and he was very strong at the end.”
Los Alamitos daytime preview
Sunday’s nine-race card starts at 1 p.m. and will be dominated by claiming races, six to be exact. We also get our first five-horse program race, but only one. There are two allowance/optional claimers, but one has a $20,000 tag and the other a $40,000 tag, so that’s the one we’ll go with as the feature.
The eighth race is for fillies and mares going a mile for a purse of $45,000. Kookie Gal, at 5-2, is the favorite for trainer Peter Miller and jockey Juan Hernandez. She is two for nine lifetime but hasn’t won since Dec. 15, 2018, when she won the Soviet Problem Stakes at Los Al. She was 4-4-6 in allowance races at Santa Anita this year.
Tiz Wonderfully is the second favorite at 3-1 for Jim Cassidy and Tiago Pereira. She has won three in a row this year including an allowance last out. But, mostly, she has been running at the claiming level. She is five of 13 lifetime.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 5, 6, 7, 10 (1 also eligible), 7, 7, 9, 8, 10.
Ciaran Thornton’s Lrc pick of the day
RACE SIX: No. 2 Gallantlystreaming (20-1)
Gallantlystreaming is 20-1 on the morning line for the debut race for trainer Samual Nichols. This horse cost $140,000 in 2018 and when trained by Peter Miller raced at Santa Anita and Del Mar before a diet of nighttime races. In November, the horse hit the bench. This small trainer is two of five off the bench and is one for one this year. He wins on prices when he wins. A six-pound weight break usually does not mean much in sprints, but this horse at 20-1 could give bug boy Mauro Donoe his first career win. We have some very sharp workouts for the return.
Saturday’s result: Next stop $8,000 claimers for this horse Rational. Just bad!

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
RACE SEVEN: No. 1 Doctor Gene (8-1)
He has readily improved in each subsequent start including posting a minor upset over Up Is Up, who returned to score an impressive win against allowance foes last Saturday night. Doctor Gene has been ultra-competitive in his last four efforts, and the long strider benefits from a super jockey/trainer/owner combo that can pop with a price. He will be facing a nice group of stakes runners, including last year’s Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity runner-up, yet his form is top notch and he’s an improving horse and a nice value play here.
