Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we have only one week of racing left before the break.

Before we get to the stewards’ rulings, a hearty thanks to the couple dozen of you who said you enjoyed Sunday’s lesson on the language. A lot of you provided me with your favorite misuse of the language, and I agree with all of them. As for the three of you who were greatly offended to having it in the newsletter, please contact the Los Angeles Times for a full refund of your newsletter subscription. Oh, that’s right.

Stewards’ rulings

These sets of rulings should close the books on those made by the Del Mar stewards. But, some of the decisions and violations that occurred during the meeting will be pushed forward for others to look at. So, let’s get to the last week of Del Mar.

--Exercise rider Jeff Catalan was fined $500 for disorderly conduct and entry to an area assigned to a trainer. On Aug. 1 at Del Mar was said to have entered a stall of a horse while he was intoxicated. Catalan must also adhere to the recommendations of the Winners Foundation and agree to be tested. If he doesn’t do those things, he will have his license suspended.

--Trainer Bob Baffert was fined $500 when his horse Cruel Intentions tested positive for Phenylbutazone, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, after the third race on July 27 at Del Mar. Cruel Intention finished third. Baffert accepted full responsibility and said he would initiate new barn protocols to keep this from happening again.

--Trainer Bob Baffert was fined $1,500 when his horse Éclair tested positive for Phenylbutazone, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, after Éclair finished fourth on Aug. 3 in the first race at Del Mar. The hearing was held on the same day as the previous violation hearing, Nov. 16. The stewards said Baffert was not aware of the first positive when the second one occurred. Nonetheless, it was his second violation in the last 365 days. Baffert and his attorney said it was probably due to an accidental treatment but weren’t sure. They said they were confident the new barn protocols would prevent any other violations. It was a majority decision with steward Kim Sawyer voting for a $1,000 fine.

--Jockey Aaron Gryder, in a confusing situation, dropped his appeal of a four-day riding decision made by Santa Anita stewards on Oct. 19. On Nov. 23, a retroactive suspension was then ordered by the stewards for Nov. 16, 17, 21 and 22. At the last CHRB meeting at Del Mar, Gryder addressed the board during the public comment period. During it, he played a recording of a message from the stewards’ office that he believed allowed him to change his suspension days. In the stewards’ minutes, this was said: “Confusion between headquarters and Jockey Gryder regarding which suspension days he would ultimately serve led to the issuance of this uncommon ultimate enforcement of CHRB rule #1699 (Riding Rules) violation. This retroactive ruling is not precedent setting in our unanimous opinion.”

OK, I know we almost always talk about rulings that were given. But I thought I’d end this with a ruling that wasn’t made just to reinforce the level of stuff the stewards have to rule on and the amount of material that crosses their desks. I have withheld the name of the person, because they weren’t guilty. If you absolutely have to know, you can find it in the stewards’ minutes.

“Groom (name withheld) appeared in the Stewards’ office to address a ‘security violation notice’ issued by Del Mar Security on November 16. On this day security alleged that (name withheld) exited Gate Z which is an ‘enter only’ gate. Groom (name withheld) told us that (gender withheld) turned (see previous) vehicle around and immediately complied to orders given by the security staff. DMTC security was not present for the hearing. In a unanimous decision this matter was dismissed with a warning.”

Who goofed, I’ve got to know?

It was me. I gave Los Alamitos credit for having the only graded stakes race on Sunday. Seems there was the Grade 3 $200,000 Fall Highweight Handicap at Aqueduct. The race was originally scheduled for Thanksgiving, when the card was canceled, and then Dec. 1, when the card was suspended after a couple races. So, it was rescheduled for a second time. Not an excuse, just what happened.

Los Alamitos daytime review

Sunday’s feature, the $100,000 Bayakoa Stakes for fillies and mares going 1 1/16 miles, took on a different look when Mirth, the morning-line favorite, was one of two scratches taking the field to six. In the end it was Queen Be to You who went from last to first to win the race by 3 ½ lengths.

Queen Be to You paid $7.20, $3.40 and $2.40. Zusha finished second and was followed by Lady Suebee, Kim K, Mongolian Humor and Arctic Roll.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Andrew Lerner (winning trainer) “There was a little hesitation running her back [three weeks after her win in the Betty Grable at Del Mar]. But she came out of the race so well and we worked her back and she went so spectacularly that we said we have to go for it. The plan wasn’t to take her back that far, but she kind of missed the break a little bit. I could see she was traveling smoothly and [jockey] Ruben [Fuentes] always does a fantastic job with her.”

Ruben Fuentes (winning jockey): “She is very sharp right now. She settled early and relaxed perfectly and I knew she was loaded when I asked her for run.”
