Racing! Paradise Woods is the star of the Zenyatta Stakes
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we do a deconstruct on Saturday’s big race day at Santa Anita.
It’s always fun to be at the track. Can there be any better way to start the day then to walk in and see the niceness factor through the roof as trainer John Shirreffs and jockey
Thank goodness they have televisions at Santa Anita because about 10 or so feet of the infield scoreboard went black, meaning you could never see the odds on the one and sometimes the two. Not sure how many video scoreboard repair companies with weekend service are in the area but given the speed with which it was fixed (never) there can’t be many.
But throwing stones in a glass house can be dangerous business. We’ve had some technical glitches translating words to this newsletter. Corrections and typos that our excellent copy desk catches are not always making it to your newsletter. We apologize but we’re working on that. What’s the old expression: Doctors bury their mistakes, journalists publish theirs.
So on to Saturday’s five Grade 1 card, best of the 19-day meeting.
Zenyatta Stakes
A very disappointing field of four for fillies and mares, 3 and up, over 1 1/16 miles saw an impressive performance by Paradise Woods, the 1-2 favorite. She won by 5¼ lengths under a hand ride from Flavien Prat for trainer Richard Mandella. After crushing the field in the Santa Anita Oaks, she had poor performances in the Kentucky Oaks and Torrey Pines. But Saturday, no one was her match as she led the entire way. Faithfully finished second, Motown Lady third and Midnight Toast got fourth-place money just for showing up. (You can watch it here)
“I wasn’t as confident [as I have in the past], not in her ability but that she’s kind of gone south, mentally, on us,” Mandella said. We had to go through some hard times, and we did. She responded.” Jockey Prat also noticed a difference: “It was a lot different today,” he said. “Last time was very bad and nothing went well. … We’ve been working on her relaxing because she has a tendency sometimes to be very aggressive. She was quite good today and we look forward to the next step.”
Chandelier Stakes
Moonshine Memories gave Prat his second Grade 1 win on the day when he won 1 1/16-mile-race for 2-year-old fillies by 2 ¾ lengths. She basically stalked the pace behind Alluring Star until she entered then stretch then poked her head in front and then motored to an easy victory. The time was an unimpressive 1:46.32. Moonshine Memories was the 2-1 second favorite behind Alluring Star at 9/5. Moonshine Memories is undefeated in three starts.
“I just like the way she sat off horses and relaxed really well,” trainer
FrontRunner Stakes
It’s pretty early but trainer Mick Ruis might have a Kentucky Derby horse. (I can say this, he can’t.) And jockey
“I was more impressed when I watched the replay. I’m looking forward to the Breeders’ Cup as well as the first Saturday in May in Kentucky,” Nakatani said, doing something that is akin to talking about a no-hitter in progress. Mick Ruis, who has four wins in two days, was hugging and clapping in the winners’ circle. “This was pretty cool,” he said. “We thought he was going to run a good race. We thought he could run two turns, and now we know he can.”
Rodeo Drive Stakes
Prat won his third Grade 1 on the day when Avenge took the Rodeo Drives Stakes, for fillies and mares over 1 ¼ miles on the turf. It was double for Prat and Mandella, who won the Zenyatta Stakes. Avenge, at 2-1, went to the lead just past the ¾ mark and by the stretch was leading by 2 ½ lengths. He beat Goldy Espony by ¾ of a length. Responsibleforlove finished third. The favorite, Goodyearforroses, finished eighth in the nine-horse race. (You can watch it here.)
“Three Grade 1s, that’s a first for me,” Prat said. “My filly was nice and relaxed. When [Corey] Nakatani [on Goodyearforroses] came to me at the three-eighths, my filly grabbed the bit, but she stayed relaxed. I was surprised the other filly stopped like she did, but it worked out good for us.”
Awesome Again Stakes
Today at Santa Anita
Sunday at Santa Anita doesn’t quite have the cache it did on Saturday. It’s a nine-race card with four turf races, the first, fourth, seventh and ninth. The highlight is the John Henry Turf Championship, a Grade 2. It’s the seventh race with a field of nine ready to go 1¼ miles. Itsinthepost, for
Jeff Nahill's spot play
4TH RACE: #8 Tweeting (6-1)
This filly has been away since early in the Del Mar meet, but trainer Bill Spawr is 19% first off the claim and he's 24% with horses off a 46 to 90-day layoff. Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith takes the mount and he's 27% with Spawr and 3-for-6 together at Santa Anita. Should be forwardly placed early in the race.
