Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome to our horse racing newsletter as we look forward to an almost two-week break in racing so everyone can get recharged. Santa Anita up next.

Here we are at one of the few breaks in the racing season. Del Mar’s summer meeting ended Monday and the next daytime thoroughbred racing day in Southern California is a week from Saturday at Santa Anita.

As for the newsletter, we’ll come back to you on this Friday with Jon White’s Preakness preview and other goodies but then we’ll take another week off to the following Friday. So, sorry to disappoint all those who love to point out my mistakes and, in your view, errors in judgment, but you get a break, too.

Talk about leaving on high note, though, the country’s only horse racing TV critic, Mike Tierney, is back with his thoughts on what’s he’s seen lately.

Tierney’s take on TV

We figure with about 99% of people experiencing racing through television, this is a must-cover area. Mike Tierney has done just about everything in the journalism business and at a very high level. He was even a sports-on-TV critic at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. So, Mike, let us have it.

“Whew!

“The stellar summer seasons at Del Mar and Saratoga, covered gavel-to-gavel by TVG and Fox Sports, culminated with an elongated weekend, topped by marathon cards Monday that have left us exhausted.

“In New York, the Spa hands the baton to Belmont Park in 10 days. A day later in SoCal, the Turf/Sur place tags Santa Anita.

“As we recharge for another upcoming bicoastal racing bonanza, here are 10 things — with one bonus item — I won’t be missing with the telecasts.

“1. Scenes of nearly vacant stands. Credit to the networks for conveying them, seeing as how they tend to hide the negatives (see below), but the images offer a sad reminder of these trying times.

“2. Inconsistent displays of picks by analysts and handicappers. Wake up the guys in the graphics department to provide viewers a chart that collects all selections by on-air personalities in time for those who wish to wager off them.

“3. With a jockey change, lack of identification by the on-air crew of the rider originally assigned to the horse, as if it’s a disgrace to be replaced.

“4. Immediately after a race with a foul claim, an inquiry or a tight photo finish, premature speculation on the verdict or outcome before video with multiple angles can be viewed. With frequent violators, start silencing their mics — for their own good. The often-wrong calls damage credibility.

“5. On-air people mispronouncing and guessing at the pronunciation of a horse’s name, such as Fouette over the weekend. They devote hours to handicapping a horse, so why take an extra half-minute to find out how to say it?

“6. Hearing the dreaded phrase “equine athletes,” given how the networks mostly avoid sharing grim injury news post-race in contrast to sports events involving fallen “human athletes.” If they are athletes, we demand to know their fate — good, bad or ugly. (Caveat: At least the term is not as cringe-worthy as “student-athlete.”)

“7. Ignoring viewers’ needs during the post parade. Stop yakking when the parade starts and share intel on each entrant without joking about the horses’ names or repeating info on the screen (i.e., the identities of the owner, trainer and jockey).

“8. RunHappy and Mattress Mac.

“9. TVG’s Todd Schrupp belting into song — in the house that Bing Crosby built, no less. If music is desired, go fetch Burt Bacharach from his owner’s box. (But getting choked up on-air over a charitable cause, as Schrupp did Monday, is cool.)

“10. Fox’s flustered Maggie Wolfendale. Though an effective news gatherer in the vein of a sideline reporter at games, she needs a chill pill. In interviews, she is prone to ask a question and, as the subject prepares to answer, ask another. And the other day, when a horse acted up in the paddock: ‘Uh, hmm, I don’t know what we’re gonna do about that. I don’t know if I should talk about it.’ Yes, you should. That’s why you are there.

“11. Multiple announcers talking simultaneously, a condition that could be termed pincayism.

“We sign off with mention of a chuckle provided Monday by TVG. Mike Joyce took viewers to Kentucky Downs by noting that Larry Collmus, who had worked previous races, would handle the next call.

“Well, if that were Collmus, he does a spot-on impression of Michael Wrona, Aussie accent and all.”

Thanks, Mike. And speaking of Wrona and Collmus …

Think you’ve seen it all?

If you are around racing long enough, you will probably see it all. Well, the fifth race at Kentucky Downs on Monday was one to remember. In short, the gates opened with two horses still to be loaded. It appears to be a gate malfunction as opposed to a starter error. I have seen a single gate open prematurely, but never all of them.

Michael Wrona was on the call at Kentucky Downs and immediately reacted and even got his signature “Racing” out despite the premature start. A few strides into what turned out to be a workout, Wrona was warning fans to “hold all tickets.” In fact, he said it several times knowing the eventual outcome, which was no race, everything refunded.

I texted Wrona after the race and he said: “Neither Larry [Collmus] nor I have ever seen the likes of it.” While, that certainly showed the rarity of the situation, it was extremely impressive that Michael got the neither/nor, not to be confused with either/or, usage of the language. He speaks it well and writes it well, too.

Wrona is away from Los Alamitos for a few days going to Kentucky Downs to share race-calling duties with Collmus, who we’ve made an honorary member of the all-star Southern California race callers club because of his summer stint at Del Mar. Think about it, Wrona and Collmus, add in Frank Mirahmadi, Trevor Denman and Ed Burgart (in recent retirement) and you’ve got a Murderer’s Row of race calling. (Those unfamiliar, that’s a reference to the 1927 New York Yankees.)

A nice way to close the meet

As Del Mar comes to an end, it was worth mentioning that Bob Ike, one our handicappers, gave us a pretty good closing day pick. Moonoverthebayou ($28.80) ran down a tiring leader to pull the upset in opener.

Del Mar review

The final two stakes of the season were worthy of a pretty successful meeting. Let’s review them.

$100,000 Del Mar Juvenile Turf: This mile race for 2-year-olds was highly contested but in the end Victor Espinoza took Big Fish, running mid-pack through most of the race, to the outside on the far turn and then back inside in the stretch to win by a length in a crowded finish.

Big Fish paid $11.40, $6.20 and $4.20. Ebeko was second and Ambivalent finished third.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

David Hofmans (winning trainer): “After his work the other day I was confident. I thought he was coming into this race peak perfect and we had planned for this race a long time ago. I absolutely thought he would do well on the turf. He’s bred for the turf and he showed in his last race he’s a different horse on the turf.”

Victor Espinoza (winning jockey): “I had a good trip. The only problem I had was on the far turn when I dropped my hands just a bit and he took off. He almost ran up on the heels of the horse in front of us. But I checked him and wheeled him out. He swerved just a bit in the stretch, but nothing big. You know the kind he is; if they make the lead they get lonely out there and they want to wait for other ones to come and play.”

Grade 1 $250,000 Del Mar Futurity: This seven-furlong race for 2-year-olds can often predict greatness down the line. Both American Pharoah and Nyquist have won this race in recent years. This was supposed to be a showdown between Dr. Schivel and Spielberg and that’s what it was until midstretch when Dr. Schivel pulled away to win by 1 ¾ lengths.

Dr. Schivel paid $4.80, $3.00 and $2.20. Spielberg was second followed by Weston, Scooby, Dyn O Mite and Dixie’s Two Stents. This was the race that gave Flavien Prat the riding title with 50 wins, one more than Umberto Rispoli.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “He broke well, then he got a little aggressive on me. I tried to give him a little breather on the turn, then when I asked him, he was a runner. He’s a nice colt.”

BLACK STORM chased outside a pair of rivals, four wide into the lane and showed a mild response. LUCKY ROMANO dueled from the inside then moved clear to the pace, challenged around the turn and met that bid while drifting out leaving the turn, drifted back inward in the stretch and flattened in the final furlong.

R CHA CHA vied for command between foes early then pressed from the outside, took over at the five-sixteenths but soon lost the lead at the quarter pole and tired in the lane. I'M BUSY vied for the lead from the inside then inched ahead to set the pace, showed the way with company to the outside up the backstretch, lost the lead at the five-sixteenths pole, dropped back and also tired. HAND TIMED.
