Racing! Congratulations to Victor Espinoza and his first win back

Share via

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we back to our usual business with a handicapping lesson from Rob Henie.

The most exciting race on Saturday was the Grade 1 $400,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile. Ohio, and trainer Michael McCarthy and jockey Ruben Fuentes, won an excruciating eight-minute photo over John Sadler and Drayden Van Dyke, who were running Catapult.

What was fun was what the two jockeys said after the race.

Van Dyke: “I thought I was in front at the wire. That is the worst head bob I’ve ever been involved in. I knew it was close by hearing all the crowd noise. I was hoping it wasn’t that close. After we finished Ruben turned to me and congratulated me on the win. He thought he lost.”

So, when Ruben was done doing TV, I asked him if that happened.

Fuentes: “No. After the race I asked him who he thought won and he didn’t say anything.”

Fun at the race track.

But no more fun than seeing Victor Espinoza in the winner’s circle after winning the Grade 2 $200,000 San Carlos Stakes.

I wrote most of my story for web and print on Victor, so if you want to read it, just click here.

Here are some highlights of what he had to say:

--"Being back again in the winner’s circle always encourages me to go forward in my career. I was happy to be back and ride horses and everything but it’s nothing like winning a race, especially a big one like today.”

--“I thought I had a chance but I never thought I was going to win that easy.” (3 ¼ lengths.)

--(On St. Joe’s Bay.) “He was feeling pretty happy. He built up more muscle and weight. His hair was really shiny the last week when I worked him. It was a combination of everything. He changed a lot.”

Congratulations to Victor in the next step in his recovery.

Weekly handicapping lesson

It has been a while because of no racing, but we are delighted to have our weekly handicapping lesson back from Rob Henie of the WCHR (West Coast Handicapping Report) and the ECHR (East Coast Handicapping Report). The thinking is if you can know and understand the strategies, it will make you a better handicapper.

Today’s lesson is from Sunday’s sixth race at Santa Anita. Take it away, Rob.

“This is an optional claimer at 6 ½ furlongs down the hill on the turf. One of the dilemmas a handicapper can face during the Spring months, is what to do when a 3-year-old faces older horses? We would answer, every situation is different, but let’s look at our top pick in GALLOPING MISCHIEF (#1). He broke his maiden in his debut, now facing winners and older horses for the first time, but let’s consider the fact he’s trained by Richard Mandella. If this guy wasn’t ready to face older horses, he wouldn’t be, plain and simple. Consider the connections, if competent, don’t doubt the placement. Also, notice this one got his final 2 ½ furlongs in 26.3 seconds, that’s absolutely flying, we can’t emphasize that enough. How quick? With turf races, our ‘bar” for getting the final 2 ½ furlongs, is, we like to see anything 30.1 (31.1 on the main track). With Flavien Prat gone this weekend, Drayden Van Dyke hops aboard, and we love the recent slow works, telling us they need little from this guy while awaiting this next start. If we’re looking for a closing effort from the top choice, we’ll look for a contrary style with our second selection in MR TWINERY (#11). He can pop the gate quickly off the quick load, and remember, speed from the outside posts coming down the hill, is advantageous, as the course takes a right-handed turn shortly into the race, shifting favor to those showing early pace from the outside gates, and here’s apprentice Assael Espinoza for Jerry Hollendorfer, already teaming for a win this week together, with a runner with natural speed, likely accentuated ever further in this spot with the draw and lack of early speed next to him.

“Hot / Cold Race Trends: none

“Win Contenders (order of preference): 1-11-3

“X Out Runners (eliminating on the win end): none

“Positive Notes:

“3 Big Buzz - Has found an off the pace comfort zone while sprinting, we’ll include in the mix.

“Negative Notes:

“4 Eric the Trojan - Often looks the winner but not real keen on passing runners late.

“TOP PICK: GALLOPING MISCHIEF (#1 8-1 Van Dyke)

“SECOND CHOICE: MR. TWINERY (#11 8-1 A Espinoza)”

Santa Anita review

OK, we kind of covered two of the stakes up top. But we’ll do a little refresher.

--Grade 1 $400,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes. Ohio won by a nose over Catapult and paid $21.20, $5.80 and $3.80. Desert Stone was third. “I thought the race was void of pace and we found a great spot on the backside,” said winning trainer McCarthy. “I can’t thank Ruben [Fuentes] enough for a wonderful ride. He’s very patient, obviously today was his first mount in a Grade 1 and his first win in a Grade 1.”

--Grade 2 $200,000 San Carlos Stakes: The seven-furlong race was won by St. Joe Bay by three lengths over Dr. Dorr. Kanthaka finished third. St. Joe Bay paid $33.60, $14.20 and $7.40. “No, this doesn’t make up for the last one,” said trainer John Sadler about losing by a nose to Ohio in the previous race. “It’s a good distance for him. He got out, got rolling and the rest is history.”

--Grade 2 $200,000 Santa Ana Stakes: Elysea’s World won this race for fillies and mares going 1 ¼ miles on the turf. It was the first of two stakes wins for trainer Richard Baltas. Elysea’s World paid $6.20, $3.60 and $3.00. Zaffinah was second and Lynne’s Legacy was third. “This filly settled for me very nicely,” said winning jockey Van Dyke. “This is the first time I have rode her, but I could tell she is a very classy filly. We had a very nice pace to chase, so I was bidding my time before I asked her to run. This race set up for us perfect on paper for me. She did the rest when we turned for home.” The winning margin was ½-length.

--Grade 1 $400,000 Beholder Mile: Secret Spice, running her first graded stakes, upset Marley’s Freedom, Paradise Woods, Selcourt and Mopotism, all who have run in Breeders’ Cup races. Secret Spice, trained by Baltas and ridden by Geovanni Franco, paid $24.40, $6.00 and $4.20. “It was our day today and we’ll take it,” Baltas said. “She put it all together. I told her owners if you want to win a Grade 1 you are going to have to be patient and wait. It was our day today.”

Santa Anita preview

Based on the recent past, it’s about as good of a Sunday card as you’re going to see at Santa Anita, even if they had been racing for the past month. There are nine races starting at 1 p.m. There are three stakes worth $100,000, all down the hill on the turf. Two of them are restricted to Cal-breds. The fields are pretty full.

The first stakes is the Sensational Star, 6 ½ furlongs down the hill for older Cal-breds. Pee Wee Reese is making his first start since Aug. 17 when he finished fourth in the Green Flash Handicap at Del Mar. After the race he was vanned off but, obviously, it wasn’t a career ending injury. He returned to work on Dec. 30 and has had 11 works since his last race. Van Dyke picked up the mount from Joe Talamo, who is returning from Dubai. The Phil D’Amato trained horse is 8-5.

Eddie Haskell, a winner of seven of 18 lifetime starts, is the 2-1 second choice for Mark Glatt and Joel Rosario. He won last out in an allowance and has won three of his last four. Post is around 1:30 p.m. as the second race.

What is probably viewed as the best stakes is the Grade 3 $100,000 San Simeon Stakes for horses 3 and up going down the hillside turf course. Conquest Tsunami, for Peter Miller and Van Dyke, is the 4-5 favorite. He won last out in the Clocker’s Corner Stakes and his connections thought enough of him to run in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, where he finished 11th. He’s won nine-of-30 lifetime.

Law Abiding Citizen is the second favorite at 9-2. Glatt trains and Tiago Pereira rides. He doesn’t have the stakes pedigree that Conquest Tsunami has and has won four-of-18 lifetime. Post is around 2:35 p.m.

The final stakes worth $100,000 is the Irish O’Brien Stakes, also down the hill. It’s restricted to older Cal-bred fillies and mares. S Y Sky, for D’Amato and Franco, is the 5-2 favorite. Talamo is the regular rider. She is five-of-10 lifetime. Gypsy Blue, at 4-1 for Glatt and Rosario, is the second favorite. Post is around 4:45 p.m.

Here are field sizes, in order: 11, 7, 9, 7, 7, 11 (1 also eligible), 12, 11, 13.

Bob Ike’s SA pick of the day

SIXTH RACE: No. 5 Blitzkrieg (7-2)

Gelding from the Doug O'Neill barn comes off back-to-back wins over the downhill course (both over "good" surfaces) but should be able to continue up the ladder and win again. His romping victory from the rail was visually strong and he is tactical enough to ensure a good trip. Make it the hat trick for this guy.

Saturday’s result: Air Strike was mid-pack early and wide on the far turn but did not produce the late run we expected when finishing fourth in the eighth race.

Bob Ike is a Partner/VP of Horsebills.com (here's a video) and the proprietor of BobIkePicks.com (full-card picks, 3 Best Plays and betting strategy).

Ed Burgart’s LA pick of the day

SIXTH RACE: No. 2 Magic Prize (9-2)

He never had a chance when finished ninth in the Los Alamitos Maiden Stakes six weeks ago when bumped off stride repeatedly from between horses for the first 50 yards before checking back solidly. He then leveled off with good interest past the wire. Two outs ago, he broke sharp in trial runnerup outing and meets easier in this spot. I suggest a win wager on Magic Prize and a 2-8 exacta box with Mr Captain America, who was loaded with run past the wire after altering course to the inside when losing his path early in last out.
