Horse racing newsletter: Baffert and Swiss Skydiver have a good day
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we get a handicapping lesson from Rob Henie.
Despite the strong performance of Swiss Skydiver in the Beholder Mile, the stage on Saturday was once again dominated by 3-year-olds and Bob Baffert, both at Santa Anita and Arkansas.
Concert Tour rolled to an impressive 4¼-length win in the $1-million Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park, beating a highly thought-of and even-money favorite Caddo River, who finished a well-beaten fifth. The 50 Kentucky Derby points gives Baffert at least two Derby starters with Life Is Good (60 points) and now Concert Tour (50). Generally, you can get in with 40 points, usually less.
Concert Tour was coming off a win in the seven-furlong San Vicente at Santa Anita. He was ridden by Joel Rosario. Baffert also got second and 20 Derby points with Hozier.
As for Baffert’s other bright spot on Saturday, it was the debut of Triple Tap, who won his maiden special at Santa Anita by an easy 4 ¼ lengths (notice something about the two margins?). The 3-year-old half-brother to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah looked impressive in an effortless win.
So, that raises the question, is it too late to get him on the Triple Crown trail?
“It’s going to be a little difficult [to go in the Santa Anita Derby],” Baffert told Mike Willman of Santa Anita. “The thing is, we don’t [want] to rush him, so we’re not even thinking about that right now. … I want to get this race out of the way and then we’re gonna talk about it and figure out what we’re gonna do.”
That probably means no, but Baffert didn’t rule it out entirely. It also doesn’t mean we won’t see the colt in either of the later Triple Crown races.

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 third race at Santa Anita and incorporates some handicapping angles into the mix. Rob, take it away.
“This is a maiden $50,000 claimer at six furlongs. For years the WCHR has been known for our debut winners, with the key being trainer patterns, understanding how a trainer brings a horse up to the race. Most trainers have winning patterns indicative of a live debut type, as well as patterns that would indicate they’re giving the horse the race. With this in mind, my top selection Sunday is SWEETHEART (#5). Trainer Ryan Hanson is usually pretty consistent with regard to his live firsters, working forwardly as we see with this one, a Washington bred. We’ve always liked runners associated with anything from that state, just a great racing program for so many years, so many family-owned farms, and racing that takes a break through the winter, allowing horses to be horses for a few months before they return to training. This is also the 10th foal out of this dam, with seven of the nine foals winners on the track, always great to see. Drayden Van Dyke is good with young runners because he has a patient hand. A good effort at first asking is likely. CIRCLE OF HONOR (#3) is easy to find. Steve Knapp has been really good the past couple years with claiming and placing his horses, and it’s not typical for him to claim a debut runner, thus, we’ve got a bit more interest in this filly, with Abel Cedillo taking over following the claim, working super, seemingly a sharp claim.
“Hot / Cold Race Trends: none
“Win Contenders (order of preference): 5-3
“X Out Runners (eliminating on the win end): none
“Positive Notes:
“1 Purda Vita - Any runner ridden by Prat these days, seems to fire regardless of form.
“Negative Notes:
“2 Avisse - One paced runner, not a fan of cutting back in distance with this style, but rather, would rather see her moved out to a more methodical 1 1/16 distance.
“TOP PICK: SWEETHEART (#5 10-1 Van Dyke) Debut
“SECOND CHOICE: CIRCLE OF HONOR (#3 4-1 Cedillo)”

Santa Anita review
We’ve covered the maiden special up top, so let’s get right to the two stakes races.
Grade 3 $100,000 San Simeon Stakes: Jolie Olimpica, who had never finished worse than second in eight lifetime races, looked pretty strong in this six-furlong turf race. But in the stretch, the 5-year-old mare didn’t have the kick and Gregorian Chant rallied by Sombeyay to win the race by a neck.
Gregorian Chant paid $9.80, $4.20 and $2.20. Sombeyay was second, followed by Jolie Olimpica, Cistron, Barristan and Bob and Jackie.
Phil D’Amato (winning trainer): “It took us a while to figure out what he wanted to do. This horse has found his home sprinting, no question. There’s so much difference in him now, compared to him at 3 and 4 [years old]. He’s matured a lot and we will definitely keep him short.”
Juan Hernandez (winning jockey): “He’s a really cool horse, he loves to run at the end part. He broke slow and I just let him get comfortable in the back and then when we went into the stretch, Phil had told me to get him rolling and that’s what I did. The horse is a nice horse. He helped me a lot in the stretch; I went out and he did the rest to win the race.”
Grade 1 $300,000 Beholder Mile: Swiss Skydiver showed she had some of the same magic she displayed as a 3-year-old as she came off the rail entering the stretch and moved to the two spot and rolled to a 2 ¾-length win in this race for fillies and mares.
Swiss Skydiver paid $4.80, $2.60 and $2.20. As Time Goes By was second, followed by Golden Principal, Harvest Moon, This Tea, Clockstrikestwelve and Miss Stormy D.
Ken McPeek (winning trainer): “Yes, she met expectations, but you never know. The distance for me was a little bit of a worry because of the run into the first turn. But [jockey] Robby [Albarado] does know her so well, to get her in 12s [for each eighth of a mile], just get her in a nice rhythm and let her make her run. You know, you can’t force anything with her, and if you go too fast early, she will wilt a little bit. She, like, cruises through everything, even when she gallops.”
Albarado (winning jockey): “Being on the inside, circumstances dictate that you need to get away clean to get some kind of a forward position. I knew we had speed in the race, but if I could get her in position, get her to clip off 12s every eighth, she comes home pretty fast. Pretty much up the backside, every point I felt like she was right there with me the whole way. She was taking deep breaths around there. When I finally gave her some room, there she took off. It was all her, I was just a passenger.”
Santa Anita preview
Sunday’s eight-race card has half of the races restricted to Cal-breds, which is a bit unusual except on Cal Cup day. First post is 12:30 p.m. Half of the races are on the turf (1, 4, 6, 8), including the feature, the $100,000 Irish O’Brien for Cal-bred fillies and mares going six furlongs. The favorite, at 2-1, is Leggs Galore for trainer Phil D’Amato and jockey Ricardo Gonzalez. She has won her last four starts out of six lifetime. Last out was a 3 ¼-length win in the Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Sprint at Santa Anita. Bella Vita is the second choice at 3-1 for Simon Callaghan and Flavien Prat. Last out, she was a 4 1/2 -length winner in the Spring Fever at Santa Anita. She has two wins, two second and one third in five lifetime starts. Post is around 3:18 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 6, 7, 7, 6, 8, 8, 9.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
THIRD RACE: No. 1 Purda Vita (6-1)
Purda Vita is ridden for the first time by Prat for trainer John Sadler. This tandem has won two of two at the meet. Purda has sharp early speed, which wins a majority of these types of races. A best of the day workout Feb. 26 adds to the appeal. Jumped in class and risked for a claim Sunday, this looks like the money ride at 6-1.
Saturday’s result: Nerves of Steel dropped to 5-2 joint favorite at post time and flew down the stretch to miss by a nose. June Gloom ran third. Steel paid $3.80 for second.

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
SECOND RACE: No. 1 Charlotte Louise (4-1)
She got the best of a lesser group of runners as the heavy public choice. She’ll offer nice betting odds this time around, but the hard knocker could and should still garner the same sort of journey Sunday evening with at least three other runners in this field that want the lead. In her last effort 16 nights ago, the good looker won despite a less-than-stellar journey when breaking a tad slow and having to take up in close quarters into the turn. When all was said and done, though, this mare angled out for clearance and blew on by for the solid neck win. Her typical good start plus opportunity to sit until the turn, find a good position and then wait until the turn, should put this runner in good position for another win Sunday but at a much better mutuel price.

Trainer: Alfredo Marquez. Scratched–Daniel's Magic.
CHASING FAME vied for the lead outside a pair of rivals then cleared leaving the backstretch, inched away in upper stretch, urged right-handed in deep stretch and lasted. NERVES OF STEEL showed early speed inside the top pair then dropped into a stalking position, traveled two then three wide around the turn, shifted in upper stretch and was quickly corrected, closed fast outside the winner and missed. JUNE GLOOM off a bit slow then steadied when bothered by inside rival, stalked off the rail, gained ground into the turn, came three wide into the stretch, lacked the needed late kick but stayed on to preserve the show. GERLACH'S in range early from inside, saved ground then shifted two wide into the stretch, kept on through the final furlong and filled out the superfecta. IMISSBAYMEADOWS vied between early then inside the winner, chased that rival from inside to the stretch and weakened. ARREST off slow to begin, traveled three wide around the turn then swung four wide into the stretch, shifted out at the eighth pole then lugged inward in the final sixteenth while improving position. TODAY MATTERS raced mid-pack through the early stages, traveled two then three wide around the turn and offered no response. PEDRO PEREZ chased in the two path and outside a rival on the turn, entered the stretch three wide, steadied late when ARREST was lugging in and weakened. BARACKO off a bit slow and was bothered by inside rival at the start, angled to the inside, trailing the field and never got involved. CALL NINE ONE ONE raced off the pace and steered to the two path, exited the bend two to three wide and came up empty.

TRIPLE TAP pressed BARRAZA from outside, dueled around the turn, shook free in upper stretch and drew away in the final furlong under hand urging. BARRAZA pulled and was hard to manage behind the top pair up the backstretch, moved inside into the turn, came out into the stretch, could not threaten the winner but was clearly second best. EYES OPEN set the pace under pressure from TRIPLE TAP, dueled with that rival around the turn, fought to upper stretch and could not go on with the top pair inside the furlong grounds. IVORY SKY was off a bit slow to begin, stalked the top pair from outside, went three wide around the bend and weakened.

GATOR SHINING chased from inside then steered out at the five-sixteenths, entered the stretch two to three wide and finished willingly.

LITTLEBITAMEDAL bumped with inside and rival and steadied when rival came over early, settled off the pace, came five wide into the stretch, rallied widest and drew clear inside the sixteenth pole. POSTERIZE broke in and brushed rival, had early speed outside the leader then chased that foe into and around the turn, took aim three wide into the stretch, gained control and led clear to the eighth pole but could not match the winner late. CAMBY tracked off the inside, closed in three then four wide around the turn and finished willingly for the show honors. DARK HEDGES traveled mid-pack up the backstretch, two wide through the turn, was within striking distance in the drive but needed to find more. MR. LOVEJOY brushed from outside in the beginning, set the pace then cleared outside rival on the backstretch, led two wide into the lane, relinquished control in upper stretch and gave way. FANTASTIC DAY bumped and steadied early, took the turn four then five wide and proved no menace. ELEKTRONIC chased the speed from inside then a bit off the rail leaving the bend and weakened.
