Horse racing newsletter: Del Mar makes some adjustments to gate location

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we get another handicapping lesson from Rob Henie.

If you remember back to the summer meeting at Del Mar, there was all this consternation about the timing of races mostly due to a new GPS timing system that installed. Well, the track resurveyed the seven-eighths turf course to make some adjustments, mostly based on a proper run-up.

Run-up is the distance a horse and rider travel before the timing clock starts. It’s unlike human track and field, where the clock starts as soon as the race starts. There were run-up issues at Santa Anita last meeting, so the 5 ½-furlong turf races became the “about 5 ½ furlongs” races.

At Del Mar some of the turf run-ups will be slightly longer than in the past, so the times will be a little faster. Why? The horses will be running faster when the clock starts. So, before you ask about the times, here’s your answer.

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 Del Mar and incorporates some handicapping angles into the mix. Rob, take it away.

This is a minor stakes race at a flat mile on the turf. I’m not a fan of horses cutting back from the more methodical 1 ⅛ distance to this shorter assignment, which is what HEYWOODS BEAT, DOMINANT SOUL, and MARGOT’S BOY, are all being asked to do. These longer distances are run in a completely different manner, slower throughout before the question is asked the final ¼, as opposed to a flat mile where front runners are moving in a quicker manner up front, but many are sharp enough to stretch that speed from say, 6 ½ to 8 furlongs, without issues, especially if that last effort was on the main track. Speed on the main track, more often than not, transfers well over to the turf.

“With this in mind, top selection is STRONGCONSTITUTION (#3), stringing four races together off the long layoff, which tells us good health is back in the picture, opening the door for a big effort. Notice back in 2019 when sprinting, we saw him show some sharp speed, and those efforts would translate super here Sunday, on or near the lead throughout. Cedillo is a great fit and is one of the best on the circuit with regard to showing a front running style. GOALIE (#1) strings back-to-back races together for the first time in seven months, now given more ground, back right on scheduled, working super with a quick ½-mile drill followed by a slow ⅝ work, which tells us they needed nothing more from him while awaiting this next start.

“Hot / Cold Race Trends: none

“Win Contenders (order of preference): 3-1

“X Out Runners (eliminating on the win end): none

“Negative Notes:

“4 Rookie Mistake - Not sure why Doug O’Neill doesn’t try this guy over a more methodical assignment, going 1 1/16 which would cater a bit more to his plodding one paced style?

“TOP PICK: STRONGCONSTITUTION (#3 4-1 Cedillo)

“SECOND CHOICE: GOALIE (#1 12-1 Hernandez)”

Who goofed, I’ve got to know?

It was me. For reasons which escape me, when I listed the graded stakes at Del Mar, I had Seabiscuit as two words, not one.

In order to make this a teachable moment, let’s look at how Seabiscuit got his name. His sire was Hard Tack. Hardtack (one word) is a biscuit that was used on long-distance sea trips because it wasn’t perishable. It was often referred to as a “sea biscuit.” So, do I need to go any further on this?

Del Mar review

The feature was the $75,000 Kathryn Crosby Stakes for fillies and mares going a mile on the turf. Never Be Enough, a shipper from Golden Gate Fields, rallied from near the back of the pack to win by a length. Never Be Enough paid $14.80, $7.40 and $5.20. Colonial Creed was second, followed by Cordiality, Ellie Arroway, She’s Our Charm, Muchly and Proud Emma.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Manuel Badilla (winning trainer by phone from Golden Gate): “I was a little nervous when she was last at the half-mile pole. Then I saw the fractions and I wasn’t as nervous. This mare has a turn of foot and she’s a real runner. The last race up here she beat a horse of mine (Blue Diva) I’ve won a couple stakes with. Back in Europe she ran against boys and in hurdles and on the flat. Talk about an iron horse. She’ll ship back here Tuesday and we’ll decide what’s next from there.”

Tiago Pereira (winning jockey): “My agent (Patty Sterling) spoke to the trainer this morning about this horse. He said she’s got lots of speed and could go to the front. But if you go to the front, she’s not going to finish. He said take a hold of her and get her to relax. Then get them in the straight. That’s just what I did and when I asked the horse in the lane she had a great kick. Really good way to start the meet for me.”

Del Mar preview

Sunday’s card is nine races beginning at 12:30 p.m. (And remember, time switched back an hour today.) There are four turf races and a minor stakes with a great name. The feature is the Let It Ride Stakes, which was probably the greatest horse race betting film ever made. In came out in 1989 and starred Richard Dreyfuss and Terri Garr. It captured the feeling that every horse junkie has felt at one time or another or all the time.

Anyway, the $75,000 race is a mile on the turf for Cal-breds. The favorite, at 3-1, is Margot’s Boy for trainer Craig Lewis and jockey Tiago Pereira. He is three-for-nine lifetime but has never won a stakes. He was seventh last out in the Grade 2 Twilight Stakes two weeks ago. The race before he finished second in the Del Mar Derby. Heywoods Beach, at 7-2, is the second favorite. He is two-for-eight lifetime and has also not won a stakes. He was 10th in the Del Mar Derby, his last race.

Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 7, 7, 7, 9, 8, 11, 10, 12.

Bob Ike’s DMr pick of the day

SEVENTH RACE: No. 6 Popular Kid (6-1)

With a full field of Cal-bred allowance/optional claimers going 6 ½ furlongs, I will lean toward 10-time winner Popular Kid. The recently claimed Bob Hess-trained gelding returns from the Midwest and cuts back in distance over a track on which he has recorded two wins. Although he hasn’t run short in a long time, the pace figures to be quick and he would benefit from a pace meltdown at this extended sprint distance.

Saturday’s result: Never Be Enough ($14.80) settled behind the quick early pace, waited patiently on the far turn, swung wide and ran past the leaders in the final 50 yards to score her third consecutive win. Professional race mare.

Ciaran Thornton’s DMr pick of the day

THIRD RACE: No. 3 Happy Happy Happy (15-1)

Happy Happy Happy is what we will be at this 15-1 price on the win today. This horse has won two in a row at lower levels out of state. Trainer Don Schelle, who also owns the horse, ships in and jumps the horse multiple class levels in pursuit of the “Ship & Win” bonus pool Del Mar offers. When a horse makes the first start at Del Mar after racing out of state, Del Mar pays $3,000 for just starting and also increases the purse size by 30%. This is a mediocre race where the top two choices will get over bet, and therefore, the kind of race a value play like this could shine. Tyler Baze is named to ride and as a bonus there is a seven-pound weight break from the favorite.

Saturday’s result: Cozy Bear angled five wide in the stretch but was already compromised and finished fifth.

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day

EIGHTH RACE: No. 10 HR Princess Jess (6-1)

She won her trial to the Grade 1 Golden State Million Futurity for quality Oklahoma connections led by trainer Eddie Willis, who has brought a number of top-notch shippers. The filly crushed her trial rivals without needing to take a deep breath and earning the night’s second-best figure in my number with everything factored in for a super jockey/trainer (22%) combo. In this trial, she left with the leaders and easily pulled away late under no pressure and with much run left in the tank. With a competitive number on her docket and with more room for improvement Sunday, let’s push this runner steadily for all the board placings at a medium mutuel.

INVICTATATUS set the pace inside to the stretch, roused at the top of the lane, held HOOP DREAM at bay but could not match the winner in deep stretch. HOOP DREAM stalked three wide to the stretch, bid outside the leader at the eighth pole and lacked the needed late kick. ARMOUR PLATE up close between early, dropped back off the top pair into the first turn, pulled from between rivals around the bend, settled outside a rival on the backstretch, steered to the inside, moved a bit off the rail in the lane and finished evenly. ALVAARO forwardly placed outside the leader, chased two wide into the stretch and weakened in the drive. JACK SPROUT steadied off heels around the first turn, went three wide around the far turn and failed to rally. MR RIGHT NOW off a bit slow to begin, saved ground then came out into the stretch, drifted inward in the lane and had little left.

MONGOL ALTAI stalked outside a rival, traveled four wide then moved down into the two path around the far turn and failed to respond. DERBY WAR settled off the pace, asked at the three-eighths pole, drifted out on the far turn then further out in the lane and weakened. GAMBINI stumbled leaving the gate but recovered quickly to vie for the lead from inside, held a short lead into the far turn then lost command past the five-sixteenths pole, chased the winner along the inside into the stretch and gave way.
