Horse racing newsletter: Stewards’ rulings are back

Santa Anita

Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we have another day of racing this weekend.

If it’s Monday than it must be time for stewards’ rulings. So, let’s get to it.

--Trainer Peter Miller was fined $200 because Texas Wedge was improperly shod before the eighth race on Jan. 1, the $200,000 Joe Hernandez Stakes. Texas Wedge showed up in the receiving barn wearing toe grabs on his rear hooves, which is a violation of the turf shoe policy. The toe grabs were filed down and Texas Wedge won the race.

--Jockey Ruben Fuentes was fined $100 for using his riding crop more than three times in succession without giving Fast as Cass a chance to respond in the first race on Jan. 3. Fuentes plead guilty by phone and waived his right to a hearing. Fast as Cash won the race.

--Owner Tevis McCauley was suspended for failing to appear for a hearing alleging a failure to pay their bills. Dr. Melinda Blue, a veterinarian, alleged that McCauley owed $4,203.78. During the suspension McCauley is barred from all CHRB jurisdictions.

--Trainer Leonard Powell was fined $500 for use of a nebulizer, which makes breathing easier, on Big Barrel before the fifth race on Sept. 2 at Del Mar. The usage was less than 48 hours before the race. Big Barrel was scratched. Powell said he thought the threshold was 48 hours, not 24. Powell accepted full responsibility.

--Jockey Umberto Rispoli was fined $300 for striking his horse, Y Not Sizzle, 13 times in the final 1/8 of a mile in the sixth race on Jan. 4. Rispoli, who came to Santa Anita from Singapore, said he forgot he about the rule since he had only been in Southern California about two weeks. Y Not sizzle finished second.

Another tough day

Santa Anita suffered its third death in three days as Tikkun Olam, a 4-year-old gelding, collided with an unidentified other horse while training. The second horse appeared to be uninjured. Tikkum Olam was euthanized from undisclosed injuries. It’s the fifth death this racing season for Santa Anita. You can read more about it by clicking here.

Santa Anita review

Sunday’s feature was the Grade 3 $100,000 Astra Stakes for fillies and mares going 1 ½ miles on the turf. For a change, it was a big upset as Ms Peintour won by an easy two lengths. She made her move on the far turn going three wide and entered the stretch in front.

Ms Peintour paid $28.40, $9.60 and $4.00. Tiny Tina was second followed by Siberian Isis, Blue Diva, Heathers Grey, Lostintranzlation and Trust Fund Kitty.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Brian Koriner (winning trainer): “She’s always loped out strong. She doesn’t have that turn of foot, but she’s acted like she wants to go and go. We thought if [jockey] Brice [Blanc] could get the jump on them today, we wouldn’t have horses finishing like they do at the shorter distances. She ran a really big race today and I told ‘Sam’ that even though we’ve had offers on her as a broodmare, let’s try her in a few more times and it worked out.”

Brice Blanc (winning jockey): “After her last race, I told Brian [Koriner] I think she wants to run further. She stays very steady and even though she doesn’t have big turn of foot, she keeps trying. This race came up at a mile and one half and it was perfect. I’m very happy to be right and I’m glad to have this opportunity with [owners] Brian and Samantha [Siegel].”

Santa Anita preview

Monday’s special card is eight races starting at 12:30 p.m. Three of the races are on the turf including the graded stakes feature. Five of the races are for maidens. The big race is the Grade 3 $100,000 Megahertz Stakes for fillies and mares going a mile on the turf.

The favorite, at 5-2, is Super Patriot for trainer Richard Baltas and jockey Joel Rosario, This 5-year-old mare is five-for-25 lifetime and is coming off a second in the Kathryn Crosby Stake at Del Mar and a third in the Swingtime Stakes at Santa Anita. Post is around 3:35 p.m.

Brill, a 4-year-old filly originally bought for $1 million, is the 3-1 second choice. She is two-for-eight lifetime and is coming off a win in the Lady Shamrock, her first win since a maiden. Don Chatlos, Jerry Hollendorfer’s former assistant, is the trainer and Mike Smith is the jockey.

Here are the field sizes, in order: 5, 6, 9 (1 also eligible), 6, 9 (1 ae), 7, 8, 9.

Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day

RACE ONE: No. 5 Reem (5-1)

Reem is the “other” Bob Baffert horse with J.C Diaz riding. The stud fee was a mere $2,500 yet they paid $400,000 at auction and that multiple to stud fee usually means something special. Dam has seven winners from nine starters we see the usual Baffert workouts including that last one with the 6/5 favorite. In a short field card 5-1 is good value.

Sunday’s result: Suezaaana popped the gate, flew to the front and looked great until the horses hit the stretch and then faded. Great on paper and last race replays but again no dice when the rubber met the road.

NADAL a half step slow to begin, went up inside to duel for the lead, inched away briefly into the turn, edged away again leaving the turn, came off the rail into the stretch, was shaken up with the reins and the whip turned down to kick clear, drifted in and proved best under a tap of the stick and steady handling. EXAULTED broke a bit slowly, settled off the rail, angled in on the turn and went up the rail in the stretch for the place. LANE WAY chased off the rail then moved up inside on the turn, came out in upper stretch and was edged late outside a rival for second. JEFFNJOHN'STHUNDR between horses early, stalked off the inside hen outside a rival on the turn, came three wide into the stretch and lacked the needed rally. VASARIANO saved ground chasing the pace throughout and did not rally. THREEARCHBAYMAFIA dueled outside the winner, bid again alongside that one midway on the turn and weakened in the drive. WESTERN SMOKE chased outside a rival then off the rail, continued alongside a foe leaving the turn and also weakened.
