Horse racing newsletter: Put a period on this racing year
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we wish everyone happy holidays.
The 2020 racing year in Southern California came to close on Sunday with the doubleheader at Los Alamitos. There will be racing before the end of the calendar year, but everyone considers the Dec. 26 restart date as the beginning of the 2021 year.
This was the first time the Los Angeles County Fair meet was run outside of September. It was scheduled that way, but given the way 2020 has unfolded, why would that surprise anyone?
The biggest factor at this Los Alamitos meeting was the premature closing of Golden Gate Fields because of a coronavirus outbreak on the backstretch. Some of the horses that had no opportunity to run up north decided to head south, and Los Al wasn’t about to say no.
The field size went from 6.97 last year to 8.71 this year. Two horses may not sound like much but for the wagering public, it’s a huge difference. And with larger fields, you get greater mutuels. The average daily handle at Los Al was up 36% over last year and a 20% increase to last year’s Winter meeting.
One day the meeting had a record Pick Six, after five days of carryover, that made the pool $2.2 million, beating the previous number by about $700,000.

“This meet was an unprecedented one,” Jack Liebau, vice president of the Los Alamitos Racing Assn., told Bob Mieszerski of Los Alamitos. “In the midst of a surge in Covid-19 cases in California and elsewhere, racing was conducted safely thanks to the excellent compliance by all participants with the preventative measures in place.
“As a result of the Covid-19 outbreak at Golden Gate Fields, trainers and caregivers were not permitted to accompany their horses to Southern California. Los Alamitos management and the connections of those horses from Northern California are indebted to the local trainers who stepped up and assumed the training and care of those thoroughbreds.
“Without their help, the meet would not have been as successful and the owners of the shippers from Northern California wouldn’t have had the opportunity to race.”
Oh yeah, the safety record. The daytime thoroughbred racing did not have a racing or training death this year. The daytime Southern California racing circuit has not had a racing fatality since Sept. 5. It didn’t have a training death during that time until a horse was injured and euthanized at Santa Anita last week.
The horses that run at Los Alamitos’ night meeting have not been so fortunate. Five horses have died racing since Sept. 5.
Bob Baffert, Doug O’Neill and Jonathan Wong shared the training title at the L.A. County Fair meeting with five victories each. Abel Cedillo won the riding title with 13 wins.
Will this be it for Los Alamitos? At Thursday’s California Horse Racing Board meeting, owner Ed Allred said he was withdrawing his application to run at night because the Board wanted to just give him a six-month license instead of a year. Los Alamitos has asked for that decision to be reviewed. If Los Al closes at night, there is no reason to keep the few weeks of racing during the day.
The nighttime quarter horse and mixed races are scheduled to restart on Dec. 26. Will Allred stand by his threat or back down. We’ll know a couple days. We’re guessing it will be the latter.
As for us, we’ll be back on Dec. 26 with at least a look at the Santa Anita meeting.
Stewards’ rulings
This covers the second week of rulings from the Los Alamitos stewards, even though some of the rulings are from before. Let’s get to them.
--Exercise rider Taylor Gambra was fined $100 for using a cellphone while on horseback at Del Mar on Nov. 29. Cambra offered no excuse for his action
(Cherwa note: Don’t you wish you could fine someone for using a cellphone in public? Brings to mind one of the greatest bits in TV history. All I have to say is Citizen’s Arrest and you know what I’m talking about. Watch it here.
--Jockey Eduard F. Rojas was fined $750 for violation of the riding crop rule while aboard Durga in the fourth race at Los Alamitos on Dec. 11. Rojas used the crop more than six times. Rojas was candid, saying he was in contention and lost count of the number of strikes. Durga finished second by a neck. It was Rojas’ second violation of the meeting. It was a majority decision as steward Tom Ward dissented on the amount of the fine but not that there was a violation.
--Owner/trainer Lance Hellum was suspended 15 days (Dec. 26, 2020 to Jan. 9, 2021) for improper care of a horse. In addition, he will be on probation as long as he holds a California license. According to the complaint, Hellum abandoned his horse, Dopo Lavoro, from Oct. 3 until Oct. 6 without feed, water or proper care. The stewards found some mitigating factors in his defense but did not make those public. Dopo Lavoro finished eighth, and last, in a $16,000 claiming race at Santa Anita, beaten by 33 ¾ lengths. The horse has since worked at Los Alamitos for Hellum.
--Jockey Ruben Fuentes was fined $500 for violating the riding crop rule while aboard Sherilinda in the sixth race at Los Alamitos on Dec. 12. Fuentes used the riding crop more six times. Sherilinda finished fifth. Fuentes admitted he made a mistake.
--Jockey Juan Hernandez was fined $500 for violating the riding crop rule while aboard Envy in the first race on Dec. 12.Hernandez used the crop more than six times. Hernandez said he didn’t know that he had to have his hands on the horse’s neck in order to use the crop without the strikes on the shoulder counting. Envy finished third. Hernandez admitted the mistake.
Los Alamitos daytime review
The feature on the final day of racing in this meeting was the $100,000 King Glorious Stakes for 2-year-old Cal-breds going a mile. The winner was a bit of a surprise as Play Chicken came well off the pace to win by a neck. It was a familiar combination of trainer Doug O’Neill, jockey Mario Gutierrez and owner Paul Reddam who took home the win.
Play Chicken paid $29.00, $10.60 and $7.80. Moving Fast was second and Club Cal finished third.
Stephanie Murray (assistant trainer for Doug O’Neill) “I thought it was great. He showed a lot of heart. He was very gutsy, couldn’t have asked for him to do anymore. We just wanted to play the break and see how the race unfolded. It was kind of Mario’s [Gutierrez] decision from the get go, so I think he gets all the credit.’’
Mario Gutierrez (winning jockey): “The key was getting him to wait because he wanted to go chase the leader early and we wanted to wait with him. Tried to save as much as I could with him for the stretch and he really dug in.’’

SHARONA SUNSET bumped by the winner at the start, chased along the inside, moved a bit off the rail in the drive and needed to find more. COALINGA HILLS went four wide into the turn, five wide into the stretch and showed a mild response when called upon. MUSICALLY had early speed between rivals, outpaced leaving the backstretch, drifted out early on the turn, corrected back to the two path and failed to rally.
