Newsletter: Racing! Great opening day at Del Mar
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we finally delve a little deeper into the Jerry Hollendorfer case.
By pretty much any metric, except if you like long prices, opening day at Del Mar was a success. Maybe the cloud that lingered from Santa Anita was still there but you could clearly see the sun.
Among the best things was to hear the crowd as the horses ran down the homestretch. It was loud and it was enthusiastic. What makes that even better is more than half the crowd, if not more than half, probably only go to the track once a year—opening day.
We have a smarter story on opening day on our web and in our print editions. (Just click here.)
The situation with Jerry Hollendorfer still remained unresolved but there is a court appearance Thursday morning to determine if a restraining order will be granted allowing the hall of fame trainer to stable and run horses at Del Mar.
It seems less likely than not that it will be granted because, seemingly, not all administrative options have been exhausted.
While we do not have a law degree, but do watch a lot of court shows on TV, we were drawn to Rule 2043 of the California Horse Racing Board. Here’s what it says:
“2043. Adjudication of Controversies Relating to Agreements.
“A complaint alleging a violation of any provision of an agreement between a horsemen’s organization and a racing association may be filed with the Board by either of the contracting entities. The Board shall immediately investigate the allegations and may refer the complaint to the Board of Stewards appointed for the meeting where the violation is alleged to have occurred, or refer the matter for hearing under the provisions of Rule 1414 of this division. The stewards or a referee may, after hearing the matters alleged, order compliance with the terms of the contract if within their authority to do so, or propose to the Board a decision or other course of action including therein their recommendations to the Board.”
Now, if I read that right, the CHRB could settle the Hollendorfer situation. And, it just so happens the CHRB meets in Del Mar on Thursday, although this is not on the agenda.
Anyway, the San Diego judge could rule for or against an order that would settle the Hollendorfer case in the very short term.
The guess here is that Del Mar would be almost as happy as Hollendorfer if a restraining order is issued because it would allow the track to wash its hands of having to make a decision. “Hey, we’re just following the court order.”
John Sadler, a former president of the California Thoroughbred Trainers, made a defense of trainers in the winner’s circle after Jasikan’s win in the Oceanside Stakes.
“What’s worth mentioning is the trainers have really been on board on all the changes,” Sadler said about rules in regard to medication and other racing protocols. “The trainers have been at the meetings. I was at a meeting about 10 days ago where [Del Mar] explained the new reforms they put in.
“The trainers are all embracing everything that needs to be done. The only thing the trainers get upset about is if they get scapegoated at the end of the day.”
Who goofed, I’ve got to know?
I got a lot of notes from readers asking where was the information on Hollendorfer as was promised in the newsletter’s headline. Well, we goofed. On Tuesday, the newsroom went to a new CMS (content management system) and while it will improve a lot of things, as with most first-day rollouts, things were a little buggy. So, an old headline appeared on a new newsletter. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. (The new headline was correct in the online edition, though.)
Del Mar review
The feature was the $100,000 Oceanside Stakes, a one-mile turf race for 3-year-olds. It drew a big field of 12 starters. It appeared as if Nolde, for John Shirreffs and Victor Espinoza made a winning move on the far turn but got wore down in the stretch by a streaking Jasikan, who just got up to win by a nose.
Jasikan paid $5.80, $3.60 and $2.80. Rijeka was third.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
John Sadler (winning trainer): “I didn’t sleep too well last night because I set the bar really high last year. A little nervous, day one trepidation, but our other horses ran well [Wednesday] and this one got the job done as the favorite, so we’re delighted. He actually broke better [Wednesday]. His last race he broke really slow, [Wednesday] he broke regular slow.
“He’s just not a horse who’s good from the gate, but he’s got a lovely turn of foot and as you saw looped the field and came from way back. It feels great to be back here at Del Mar. I’ve been coming here for a lot of years (41 years) and it’s a very good feeling. This place is beautiful and the weather is great.”
Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “I had the good trip. I knew my horse had great acceleration and I rode him like he was the best horse. We went wide late, but we had no choice. You’re not going to get down inside when you come from the back. But he kicked and it turned out right.”
Kosta and Pete Hronis were the winning owners.
Del Mar preview
Del Mar has a very sensible seven-race card on Thursday starting at 2 p.m. After a 10-race card on Wednesday, it was refreshing to see such a big cutback in order to string along a series of 40 races a week. It’s also refreshing to see that racing secretary David Jerkens is not trying to pound the turf course into submission so early in the meet. Only three of the seven races are on the turf.
Five of the races are claimers but there is the rare Thursday afternoon stakes race. It’s the $150,000 Fleet Treat Stakes for 3-year-old Cal-bred fillies going seven furlongs.
The favorite is Sneaking Out at 6-5 for trainer Keith Desormeaux and jockey Drayden Van Dyke. Sneaking Out his three wins and three seconds in six races. He was just beaten in his last race after four wins in a row including a couple of minor stakes races. In his loss last out he was going 1 1/16 miles and was caught. The shorter distance should suit him well.
The second favorite, at 4-1, is Takethediamondlane, who is a first-time starter for Brian Koriner and Joe Talamo. He’s coming off two bullet works and was a $300,000 purchase as a yearling.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 7, 7, 9, 10 (2 also eligible), 8, 7, 11.
Bob Ike’s DM pick of the day
FIFTH RACE No. 8 Calle Kingpin (6-1)
Good, competitive $40,000 claimer going nine furlongs on turf and I will go with this NoCal shipper from the Steve Sherman barn. He ran above his conditions and upset a stronger allowance field last time, drops back into a claimer and catches a field without much early foot. He may be able to clear early and never look back at a square price under hustling new rider Abel Cedillo.
Wednesday’s Result: Give Me the Lute made a winning move on the far turn and won by 2 ¼ lengths, paying $7.20 to win.

MY JOURNEY stalked between horses then inside on the second turn and had little left for the stretch.
