Racing! Happy Memorial Day
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we head into the last really big day at Santa Anita.
First off, Santa Anita suffered it’s 26th death since Dec. 26 when Kochees was euthanized on Sunday after sustaining an injury in Saturday’s sixth race. To read more about it, just click here.
As for Monday’s Memorial Day card, let’s take a spin through the field of the (what used to be Hollywood) Gold Cup. In my book, it’s the last huge race of the meeting.
1. Blitzkrieg (trainer Doug O’Neill, jockey Rafael Bejarano, morning-line odds 6-1). This 4-year-old gelding needed seven tries to break his maiden. He was bought four races ago for $25,000 and won that race and the next three. His only graded stakes start was last out in the San Francisco Stakes at Golden Gate Fields.
2. Mongolian Groom (Enebish Ganbat, Martin Garcia, 20-1). The 4-year-old gelding has won two-of-10 lifetime starts. Probably his best start was a third in this year’s Santa Anita Handicap behind Gift Box and McKinzie. He was fifth in the Charlestown Classic.
3. Higher Power (John Sadler, Irad Ortiz, Jr., 20-1). This 4-year-old colt has won three-of-nine lifetime, but not at a high level. His only stakes races were an eighth in last year’s Rebel Stakes and a third in Northern Spur Stakes. He won last out in an allowance at the Fair Grounds. This is his first race in Southern California.
4. Lone Sailor (Tom Amoss, Flavien Prat, 4-1) This 4-year-old colt has a ton of big time experience. He is running in his 12th-straight graded stakes, including the Kentucky Derby (eighth), Preakness (fifth), Haskell (third) and last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic (sixth). He’s only won two-of-18 lifetime, a maiden and the Oklahoma Derby.
5. Gift Box (Sadler, Joel Rosario, 8-5) This lightly race 6-year-old colt has won three in a row, including the Santa Anita Handicap, last out. It will be only his third race with Sadler, having previously been trained by Chad Brown. After winning by 8 ¾ at Aqueduct on March 24, he was moved to Sadler’s barn in the fall and debuted with a win on opening day in the San Antonio. His next race was the Big ‘Cap on April 6.
6. Core Beliefs (Peter Eurton, Florent Geroux, 4-1) This 4-year-old colt is coming off a win in the New Orleans Handicap at Fair Grounds. He started out his career at Santa Anita in the first four of a nine-race career. After a second in the Peter Pan last year, he won the Ohio Derby, followed by the Haskell (fourth), Pennsylvania Derby (fifth) and then the New Orleans Handicap.
7. Vino Rosso (Todd Pletcher, John Velazquez, 5-2) This 4-year-old colt was in the thick of the Triple Crown talk last year after winning the Wood Memorial. But, there was this horse named Justify also running. Vino Rosso finished ninth in the Kentucky Derby and fourth in the Belmont Stakes. He’s only run once this year, a fourth in the Carter Handicap at Aqueduct on April 6.
So, there you have it, the field for the Gold Cup, an intriguing race, and the last really big race of the meeting.
Santa Anita review
There is also a story on the two Sunday stakes races, although in a rare instance, I actually talk to the owner and make him the centerpiece. So, if you want to read that, all you have to do is just click here.
So, like the Sunday newsletter, if you just want the bare facts and quotes. We’ll offer up this recap.
Grade 2 $200,000 Summertime Oaks: My Majestic Rose had a game battle with Sneaking Out down the stretch and in the end was able to pull of a half-length win in the 1 1/16 mile race for 3-year-old fillies. She paid $13.80, $4.60 and $2.80. Colonial Creed was third.
Winning jockey Flavien Prat: “We had a good trip. She relaxed very well and she was going real easy up the backside. At the three-eighths, I asked her and she was right there for me. When she made the lead, she waited on that other filly a bit, but then she got back to business.”
Winning trainer Rodolphe Brisset: “The way she hit the front today is one of the reasons we decided to put the blinkers on. She can lose focus pretty quick. The first time she ran, she ran a beautiful race without them. When I stretched her out to a mile and a sixteenth at the Fair Grounds, it was the worst race ever. She acted like she’s never been on a racetrack before. So, she really seemed to need them and as soon as we added them, she’s changed.”
Grade 2 $200,000 Monrovia Stakes: S Y Sky also had a tough fight down the stretch but was able to pull out a three-quarters length win in the fillies and mares five-furlong dirt race that was originally scheduled for the turf. She paid $6.20, $2.60 and $2.10. Belvoir Bay was second and Lady Suebee finished third.
Winning jockey Drayden Van Dyke: “[Trainer] Phil [D’Amato] told me she’s fast, but she can be tactical also. We broke sharp, but I was able to take her back and she finished really well.”
Winning trainer D’Amato: “I thought she was doing well, but I’ve got to give the credit to Drayden Van Dyke. She popped on top and she was in control, but Drayden realized the top two were really smoking so he eased her back and that was the winning move. We’re looking forward to campaigning her the rest of the year.”
Santa Anita preview
As we’ve said, the last really big day at Santa Anita this meeting with three $500,000 Grade 1 stakes. Everything you could ever want to know about the Gold Cup is up higher in the newsletter. Everything, that is, except the post time, and that’s around 4:30 p.m. as the eighth race.
You’ve also got the Grade 1 Gamely Stakes for fillies and mares going 1 1/8 miles on the turf. Vasilika is the 8-5 favorite. We’ve told her story time and again, but she turned out to be pretty darn good claim for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. She’s won 11 of her last 12 races, the only bobble being a fourth in the Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes. Flavien Prat rides.
Rymska, a Chad Brown shipper, is the second favorite at 5-2. She also fits the rules that the names of the first two favorites have to end in “ka.” She is coming off a second in the Jenny Wiley at Keeneland and a win in the Hillsborough Stakes. She is seven-for-14 lifetime.
The final Grade 1 of the meeting is the Shoemaker Mile, for horses 3 and older going, well, you figure it out. It’s on the turf. Delta Prince, a shipper for Jim Jerkens, is the 5-2 favorite. Rosario will ride. He’s coming off a win in the Maker’s 46 Mile and a third in the Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational.
Catapult is the 3-1 second choice for Sadler and Drayden Van Dyke. He’s coming off a second in the Frank E. Kilroe Mile and he was second in the Breeders’ Cup Mile. He’s won six-of-18 lifetime races. He’s another horse that was previously trained by Brown that was moved to Sadler. Post is about 5 p.m.

Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
THIRD RACE: No. 1 Power Down (12-1)
Power Down has as much speed as the top choices here and the best closing kick in a race that should suit this style very well. Second U.S. start for this Joe Talamo/Ron Ellis horse. The debut was a five-furlong exercise run and if you look at the race replays this horse should love the stretch to a mile. A ground saving inside post that is winning 20% the morning line price of 12-1 is great
Sunday’s result: Vander Kellen was off a step slow and finished third in the three-horse race.
