Horse racing newsletter: It’s all in the numbers

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we need to wait until Friday before Santa Anita races again.

We’ve often said that statistics can be used to prove whatever point you are trying to make. For example, Santa Anita likes to use one about the number of horses that have been on the track, racing and training, to prove that the horse fatality rate is much lower than what people think. It’s in the tens of thousands of horses for this meeting.

While it is true horses have been on the track, as they are several days a week, if only for a jog, it’s a made-up figure. The track just extrapolates the number of horses it has and comes up with an average. It would be shredded by an auditor. When you’re going to give a number is the thousands or even millions of a percent, you better be 100% correct. It’s why I don’t use that figure.

The California Horse Racing Board issued a report in which they listed horse fatalities by trainer. In it, they broke it down by starts per 1,000. Simply, that figure is not fair. The sample size is way too small. It brought howls from some who like to use the above-mentioned figure. I thought the CHRB was going to reissue the report without that category but if they have, I haven’t seen it. Either way, I won’t use that figure either.

So, on the backdrop of stats don’t always tell the right picture, I thought I would compare Presidents Day figures from the last five years and 10 and 20 years back to see if we can learn something. It’s broken down in categories.

Attendance

Feb. 21, 2000: 20,450

Feb. 15, 2010: 13,306

Feb. 15, 2016: 10,225

Feb. 20, 2017: 9,412

Feb. 19, 2018: 9,577

Feb. 18, 2019: 7,668

Feb. 17, 2020: 7,003

Comment: The crazy thing about the 2000 day was it was raining. As you can see, the decline was massive.

Handle

2000: $3,070,332 on track; $150 average per customer; $10,569,081 including ITW and out of state.

2010: $2,050,849; $154; $8,873,143

2016: $1,596,438; $156; $9,280,161

2017: $1,433,468, $152; $10,093,977

2018: $1,354,851, $141; $9,298,033

2019: $1,282,639; $167; $9,467,602

2020: $1,000,777; $143; $6,213,445

Comment: While attendance is way down, the mutuel handle in no way mirrors that. This no doubt is because of the strength of ADWs. And, the consistency of average per customer, is to me, further evidence that the attendance figures are, shall we say, a moving target. (Yes, Santa Anita denies that.) Now the number of races (we’ll get to that in a moment) also mitigates the number.

Races and runners

2000: 10 races, 63 runners, 6.3 average per race

2010: 10, 80, 8.0

2016: 9, 69, 7.7

2017: 11, 84, 7.6

2018: 9, 67, 7.4

2019: 9, 76, 8.4

2020: 8, 48, 6.0

Comment: This year, everyone hopes, is clearly an aberration. But, if not, it shows the severity of the decline in the horse population. In the past, the numbers go up and down a little but Monday’s total is alarming.

More numbers

This is stolen from Ed Golden’s stable notes. It did not include Monday’s racing.

“Through 26 days, favorites are winning well above the national norm of about 33%, at 39.09 (86 out of 22), even higher on dirt, 41.80 (51 of 122) and slightly lower on turf, 35.71% (35 of 98). Bridge jumpers are faring well with in-the-money odds-on favorites winning at an 87.50% clip (49 of 56) .

Santa Anita review

The feature on Monday’s card was the $70,000 Wishing well Stakes for fillies and mares going 5 ½ furlongs on the turf. It was only a five-horse field but An Eddie Surprise rallied from next-to-last to win by a half-length. It was jockey Joel Rosario’s fourth win of the day.

An Eddie Surprise paid $9.40, $4.60 and $2.60. Miss Hot Legs was second and Kentan Road was third.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Doug O’Neill (winning trainer): “We love her consistency. Prior to the race it looked like such an evenly matched race so you could win or run fifth and run your race. We just got a dream trip by Joel and it worked out perfect. We are grateful to have a small string in Dubai thanks to Frank Gabriel, but as nice as Dubai is it’s not even close to Santa Anita, I mean this is the best. We are so blessed to call this home and there’s just nothing better than winning here at The Great Race Place.”

Joel Rosario (winning jockey): “I just tried to break good out of there and save some ground in the last turn and make a great run. When you have a good horse they make your job easy. We were very confident, she got out of there not very quick in the beginning. I just let her be where she was and she started getting better going into the last turn, I felt very confident after that. I just try to figure out what makes my horse happy and to help them run their best. Yes, I think when they feel comfortable, they perform.”

TIZ WONDERFULLY stalked three deep then outside a rival, bid three wide into the stretch, took a short lead, drifted inward in deep stretch and held on gamely under urging. MESO chased three deep then four wide on the backstretch and second turn and into the stretch, also drifted in past midstretch, bid three deep then outside the winner late and just missed. RUBY BRADLEY pulled along the inside and was in tight into the first turn, came out and stalked just off the rail, bid between horses on the second turn to put a head in front a quarter mile out, fought back off the fence in midstretch, drifted to the inside in deep stretch and bested the others. REDS SACRED APPEAL angled in and was in a bit tight between horses into the first turn, settled outside a rival to the stretch, split foes in deep stretch and bested the others. ATINA (ARG) stalked off the rail then between horses on the backstretch and a bit off the fence on the second turn, came out in midstretch and lacked the needed rally. DISCREET DIVA four wide into the first turn, stalked three deep to the stretch and could not offer the necessary response. CIMARRON saved ground chasing the pace, went around a rival in deep stretch and also lacked the needed rally. WHOA NESSIE sped to the early lead and angled in, set the pace inside, dueled on the second turn and into the stretch and weakened in the final furlong.
