Racing! Who’s got the hot 2-year-olds?

Trainer Bob Baffert watches a workout at Churchill Downs on May 1.

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as Del Mar finishes another week of safe racing.

Bob Baffert had one of the most phenomenal Del Mar meetings last year with a dozen 2-year-old maiden winners. It’s what Baffert does best: nurture and improve young horses.

He won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile with Game Winner but came up short in the Triple Crown races, not that he has any shortage of those wins including two Triple Crowns.

With that premise in mind, I thought I’d look to see which trainers were hot with 2-year-olds this Del Mar season. Now, disclaimer up front, I did this by hand rather than entering some code into one of those fancy whirlygig computers they use nowadays.

Basically, if you broke your maiden at Del Mar, you should be on this list, dirt or turf, claiming or special weight, filly or colt.

So, here’s the quick tally: Peter Miller has five first-time winners. Doug O’Neill and Luis Mendez have three wins. In O’Neill’s case, this doesn’t include his best 2-year-old, who broke his maiden in New York. Baffert, Jeff Bonde, Craig Lewis and John Sadler have two apiece.

Of course, we all know it only takes one. You might be seeing some of these horses in a few weeks in the Del Mar Debutante or Del Mar Futurity.

Here’s the list.

Apropos of nothing

I have to share with you that ESPN has hit a new low. (I’m sure that’s not true. I’m sure it has gone way lower.) But on Sunday, after the wife said no more horse racing or news programs on the TV while we were eating brunch, I switched it to ESPN. The sports leader had two hours of coverage of the national cornhole championship. You probably know what cornhole is but don’t know what it’s called. It’s a bar and backyard game where participants throw bags of resin at an angled piece of board with a hole in it. I repeat, two hours of coverage. OK, back to horse racing. (And, yes, I watched about 30 minutes of it.)

Del Mar review

In Sunday’s feature, the Grade 3 $100,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap for fillies and mares going 6 ½ furlongs. Danuska’s My Girl took advantage of bad starts by the two favorites to win gate to wire by a half-length.

Danuska’s My Girl paid $14.20, $4.40 and $3.20. Anonymity was second and Lady Ninja finished third. It was trainer Jerry Hollendorfer’s first win since being able to race at this Del Mar meeting.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Jerry Hollendorfer (winning trainer): “It has been a long time coming but we finally got one. I’m doing the best I can and at least some things are working out, like winning this race for Kelly Mitchell. It feels good. In the race we thought we’d get a little more pressure from the eight horse (Best of Me) but we broke so fluid that it wasn’t that bad. He (Geovanni Franco) actually won the race in the second quarter when he got to slow it down a little bit.”

Geovanni Franco (winning jockey): “Congratulations to the owners and to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. She felt great all the way. She broke so sharp and then she slowed it down for me that second quarter. I knew someone was coming late (favorite Anonymity) but it didn’t matter. I kept riding as hard as I could. She likes it here at Del Mar. So do I.”
