Horse racing newsletter: No Triple Crown this year
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter, as we get ready for what could be a historic meet at Santa Anita. We’ll explain why tomorrow; don’t want to jinx things.
While some of you might have thought our headline about the Triple Crown was old news, it was actually about the Canadian Triple Crown. Some might call it a more difficult Triple Crown than the U.S. one; it’s over six weeks and on three surfaces. (The one you’re not thinking about is synthetic.)
It hasn’t been won since 2003, when Wando won it.
The favorite — yes, spoiler alert, he didn’t win it on Saturday — was Mighty Hart, a one-eyed horse who won the first two legs.
My friend Robert Kieckhefer, the UPI horse racing writer, summed up the backstory better than I ever could in his weekend preview advance.
“Mighty Heart looks for a third straight win and a sweep of the Canadian Triple Crown in Saturday’s $400,000 (Canadian) Breeders’ Stakes 1 1/2 miles on the turf. The bay colt, a son of Dramedy, is the odds-on favorite in a big field despite a questionable record on the green course.
“Unraced at 2, Mighty Heart was pointed to the grass at the onset of his career in February in New Orleans. His debut was washed off the turf and he finished fourth while lugging out badly around the main track. He had the same problem in his next start — his only actual grass race — March 21, when he finished 11th in a maiden race at Fair Grounds.
“Things improved when he hit the Woodbine all-weather course, where he won in a maiden affair in July and finished third in an allowance event Aug. 1. On that record, he went to the post at odds of 13-1 in the Queen’s Plate, which he won by 7 1/2 lengths. His victory in the Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie, of course, came on the dirt. As the odds-on favorite, he won that by 2 1/2 lengths.
“Trainer Josie Carroll is optimistic about Mighty Heart’s chances on the turf, which is likely to be less than firm after recent rains, and the 1 1/2 miles.
“’I believe he’ll handle the grass,’ Carroll said. ‘He’s run once on the grass and we had him up on the E.P. [Taylor] course the other day and he just skipped across it. Pedigree-wise, we have every reason to think he’ll handle it. But until a horse does that, you really don’t know. It’s a very, very challenging thing to be asking him to do right now.’”
Well, it didn’t work out for Mighty Heart. Stablemate Belichick won the race, followed by Meyer and English Conqueror. Mighty Heart finished seventh.
“I think he got dogged most of the way by another horse, the fractions were a little fast,” Carroll said. “I don’t think he could get him to relax with that horse sitting right on him all the way. I thought we were in trouble going down the backside when that horse wouldn’t let up off of him.”
Oh, well. So goes another good story.

Santa Anita review
The feature on Saturday was the Grade 3 $100,000 Senator Ken Maddy Stakes for fillies and mares going 5 ½ furlongs on the turf. This race used to be 6 ½ furlongs on the downhill turf course, but that doesn’t exist for sprint anymore.
All the attention was on Magic At Midnight, who was undefeated in four starts, always on the lead. Well, she didn’t break on Saturday and never was in contention finishing fifth of six.
Biddy Duke won a tough stretch battle and eventually won by a head. Biddy Duke paid $20.20, $8.00 and $4.80 and was followed by Jo Jo Air, An Eddie Surprise, Aqua Seaform Shame, Magic At Midnight and Lakerball.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Leandro Mora (assistant trainer to Doug O’Neill) “This filly has been so honest ever since we got her. The idea was just to not go to the lead, just go close to the lead so we can have a path for the other ones. Juan [Hernandez] said she never quit, when he asked her, she just came back and that’s all you see. … We just pray and do the best [we] can.”
Juan Hernandez (winning jockey): “She’s really fast and she’s one of the smallest horses I’ve ever ridden. I knew we were going fast, but she was comfortable, so I let her go. When she saw that other filly come to us, she really fought back. She’s small but she’s got a big heart.”
Santa Anita preview
It’s the final day of the Santa Anita Fall (which they call Autumn) meeting. It’s 11 races with a 12:30 p.m. start. There are five, yes five, allowance races and two stakes, including one graded. All in all, a nice way to finish the meeting. Sunday at Santa Anita is generally a mediocre card compared to Saturday, but this week it’s the reverse. Do you think it has anything to do with the mandatory payouts? Naw, couldn’t be.
The first of the two stakes is the $70,000 Lure Stakes for horses 3 and up going a mile on the turf. The favorite, at 2-1, is One Bad Boy for trainer Richard Baltas and Flavien Prat. He is two-of-seven lifetime and won three back in a minor stakes at Woodbine. The second favorite is Murad Khan for Doug O’Neill and Abel Cedillo. This 7-year-old gelding has won eight-of-26 lifetime. He’s coming off a second in an allowance at 1 1/16 miles. Post is around 2:30 p.m.
The big race is the Grade 2 $200,000 Goldikova Stakes for fillies and mares going a mile on the turf. Morning-line maker Jon White has essentially two favorites with a slight edge to Maxim Rate at 8-5. She goes for Simon Callaghan and Umberto Rispoli. She was second last out in the Grade 1 Rodeo Drive to Mucho Unusual. She has won on the graded stakes level.
The second favorite, a tick off at 9-5, is Raymundos Secret for Phil D’Amato and Prat. She has won five of seven including three of her last four. Last out was a neck win in the Grade 2 John C. Mabee Stakes at Del Mar. Post is set for around 4:30 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 9, 6, 9, 6, 9, 10, 7, 7, 8, 10.
Frank Mirahmadi’s SA pick of the day
TENTH RACE: No. 7 Appreciated (5-2)
He chased home the sharp Brickyard Ride, who came right back to win the first race Saturday. The 4-year-old gets a better post and should make his presence felt in the lane. It has been a fun challenge to participate in the daily picks for the newsletter this meet. Thanks to John Cherwa for the opportunity and of course the readers are appreciated.
Saturday’s result: Vegas Palm rallied belatedly to finish third, once again settling for a minor award.

Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
FOURTH RACE: No. 5 Jan’s Reserve (5-1)
Jan’s Reserve picked up first time Flavien Prat last out on the drop for trainer Mike Pupye, who obviously risked and put Prat on for the money ride. In that race Jan came on late to run second. First off the claim new trainer Rosemary Trela enters the horse at the same level. This trainer has a small stable but is 56% on the year, 56% first start off the claim and 60% beaten favorite. 5-1 is great value. Thank you for reading my selections for the Santa Anita Fall Meet. Next up is Del Mar next weekend.
Saturday’s result: How do you get the favorite to win a wide-open race? Bet “all” on your pick 5 ticket like I did! Octopus needed eight legs to catch the gate-to-wire winner instead running off the board.

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
FIRST RACE: No. 7 For Lewis Rivers (9-2)
He is as consistent as they come at this lower level of competition with many quality figures earned in the past. He had a solid win in his most recent effort when leaving the gate nicely and tracking his rivals down the backstretch before angling out four-wide at the top of the lane and then blowing on by nearing the wire. With my top figure in tow and a perfect post for his stalking style of racing, we’ll push this veteran 8-year-old to break well, sit the third over trip and hopefully sail on late as he did 29 nights ago.

BRICKYARD RIDE away quickly and angled to the inside, set the pace clear to the turn, stayed inside around the bend then a bit off the rail into the stretch, put to right and left-handed urging and inched away from the field. THANKS MR. EIDSON came in and bumped ONE FLEW SOUTH at the start then steadied off the heels of BRICKYARD RIDE, tracked off the inside then outside a rival or two wide around the turn, had aim on the leader at the top of the stretch but could not summon the needed rally while staying on well to the place. ONE FLEW SOUTH got knocked into inside rival at the start, settled at the back along the inside, moved out into the two path around the turn, angled out at the three-sixteenths pole, then showed a mild rally but could not get up for second. PASSIONATE REWARD tracked off the inside, went three wide into the turn then moved into the two path, moved out four wide in upper stretch and lacked the needed late kick. OCTOPUS bumped from the outside and forced in leaving the gate, settled in the early going, saved ground into the lane, tipped out a bit in the stretch and could not rally. UNDENIABLE PROOF broke well then dropped back a bit to stalk the lone leader, angled in from the two path to the rail on the turn and weakened in the stretch.
