Horse racing newsletter: It’s Belmont Stakes day
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter, as we see if any of the three Santa Anita-based horses can win the last leg of the Triple Crown.
The big news from Belmont Park is Irad Ortiz Jr., who was scheduled to ride Known Agenda, was injured when he was unseated during the fifth race on Thursday, leaving the colt and Todd Pletcher looking for a jockey. The horse Ortiz was riding was OK, but the jockey appeared to be hit by a trailing horse. He stayed down for almost two minutes before he was put on a backboard and taken away by ambulance.
“A CT scan and X-rays were negative,” said Steve Rushing, his agent. “He will probably be out for two weeks.”
Pletcher was asked Friday morning if he had a replacement and he said no. The guess here is Javier Castellano, but that’s nothing more than a guess.
Let’s take one more spin through the field to review their Friday, courtesy of the NYRA communications staff.
1. Bourbonic went to the training track. ”Everything went smoothly,” said Byron Hughes, assistant to Pletcher. “They’re all in good order.”
2. Essential Quality galloped 1 3/8 miles on the training track. “The surface on the training track seemed to be a little better,” trainer Brad Cox said. “He handled it really well. We’re really happy with where we are.”
3. Rombauer galloped 1 3/8 miles on the training track. “All good, no complaints,” said trainer Michael McCarthy.
4. Hot Rod Charlie also went to the training track. “We took him to the training track at 8:45 and jogged once around with Lava Man,” said trainer Doug O’Neill. “Generally, with him, the day before and with all the important work behind him, we do this. We’re really optimistic.”
5. France Go de Ina’s report comes from liaison Kate Hunter. “He went out to the track by the paddock entrance and walked half a lap around and then turned around to gallop a lap before leaving out the quarter-pole chute,” Hunter said. “He came out of his breeze on Wednesday really well and in his gallop today, he really seemed like he was ready to run. He seems to be in a really good place for the race [Saturday]. The plan for the race is to hopefully sit in second or third position throughout, avoiding kickback where possible,” Hunter continued. “However, if the pace is slow or if he gets in a position where it looks like he might get a lot of dirt in his face, we prefer him to be forwardly placed — even taking the lead if necessary and setting his own pace.”
6. Known Agenda. See Bourbonic.
7. Rock Your World went to the main track for his exercise. “He went out at 6 a.m. and galloped a routine mile and a half; not super hard because the track was a little wet,” said trainer John Sadler. “It rained pretty good last night. Then he schooled in the paddock and was perfect. We’re excited. This is a great race with a lot of good horses. We like our horse.”
8. Overtook. See Bourbonic and Known Agenda.
The race is at 3:47 p.m. PDT and it’s on NBC.

Santa Anita review
Remember Friday’s newsletter where we said there was no feature, only a lot of short fields. Well, that’s what happened. End of our report.
Santa Anita preview
Saturday’s nine-race card rebounded in the field size department after Friday’s thin card. There are only three turf races, including the feature, a graded stakes. There are also two allowance/optional claimers and two maiden specials. The big race is the Grade 2 $200,000 Monrovia Stakes for fillies and mares going 6 ½ furlongs on the turf. Venetian Harbor is the 9-5 favorite for trainer Richard Baltas and jockey Mario Gutierrez. She has three wins in eight starts and four seconds. She’s been off since the Breeders’ Cup, where she finished eighth in the filly and mare sprint. She has won at this level at Keeneland. The second favorite, at 5-2, is Superstition for Richard Mandella and Abel Cedillo. She has three wins in eight starts with three seconds but has never won a graded stakes.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 6, 8, 7, 8.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
SEVENTH RACE: No. 4 Gypsy Spirit (12-1)
Gypsy Spirit won last out for trainer Leonard Powell off a seven-week break under jockey Edwin Maldonaldo. Edwin is known as a “go fast early” jockey but in that race the horse was checked early and closed nicely going five furlongs. This tandem has won three of four races at the meet. Although moving up in class Saturday, this horse is not overmatched in my eyes. With lots of early speed that same tactic as the last race could provide a nice 12-1 or more value winner today.
Friday’s result: Call Nine One One ran a rail-saving trip, angled out at the top of the stretch but had nothing to give and finished fifth.

Golden Gate preview
Matt Dinerman is back for another week of Golden Gate Fields racing. The genial race caller is the host for our weekly previews and other musings. So, take it away, Matt.
“First post both weekend days is 1:20 p.m. and next week is the final four days of the winter/spring meet, with closing day June 13 having mandatory payouts in the Golden Pick Six, the Rolling Super High Five and both Pick 5 wagers.
“A quick recap from Monday. Navy Armed Guard was the ultimate hunch play on Memorial Day, when the son of Midshipman won Monday’s $100,000 All American under jockey Frank Alvarado. Trainer Quinn Howey reported Wednesday morning that Navy Armed Guard exited the race in terrific shape and it is very possible he may run at Del Mar this summer. Howey is one of many trainers from Golden Gate expecting to have a string of horses at the seaside oval from July to early September. It will be fun to see how the Northern California shippers fare against the locals. Usually, they take home their share of wins … and sometimes at overlay prices.
“Let’s get to this week’s business. A contentious feature race on Saturday comes as the nightcap, a filly and mare allowance going a mile on the turf. The 5-2 morning line-favorite, Nina En Fuego, comes off a victory at this condition over Doc Yco Cheeks, who also is entered in Saturday’s finale. Nine En Fuego has won three races in a row and is clearly on a roll for trainer Isidro Tamayo, who employs leading jockey Kyle Frey for the ride once again. Don’t Unzip Me, by Honor Code and out of multiple Grade 3 and nine-time stakes winner Unzip Me, makes her second start off a layoff after a respectable runner-up finish at this condition off a year layoff. Leading trainer Jonathan Wong trains. Another Wong entrant, She’s So Pretty, tries turf for the first time. Most recently, she pulled off a hard-fought win at this level, and, being by a California stallion, is eligible to win once more at the condition. Scherzo, a European bred who has shown an affinity for the GGF turf course, is a mild price to consider in the field of nine.
“The eighth race on Sunday, another one-mile turf, is very competitive. This is the same condition as Saturday’s feature except for colts and geldings. Claim of Passion, Descartes and Ready Say Go have all finished behind the razor-sharp Union Dance and seem evenly matched in talent level. No Union Dance’s to deal with this time. Bronze Warrior has run well but hasn’t won at this condition and makes his 2021 debut for Blaine Wright. Cosmo comes off an easy maiden win on May 16 and wheels back quickly for Hall of Famer Neil Drysdale while another new shooter, Diamond Blitz, last ran on turf in the San Francisco Mile and meets a much easier group this time around. It’s a field of 10.
“Lastly, all of us at Golden Gate Fields will be cheering on 2021 El Camino Real Derby and Preakness winner Rombauer. He earned a free, all-expenses paid berth into the Preakness with the El Camino Real Derby win. Rombauer is in my top three picks for this year’s Belmont. For a top selection? I’m looking for Rock Your World to steal it on the lead. Maybe an exacta with those two?”

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
FIRST RACE: No. 5 Musically (8-1)
She has faced tougher rivals and exits a much better-than-looked fifth against a strong allowance group of runners. She leaned back at the start of that outing to lose multiple lengths to go along with her early racing momentum. After the less-than-stellar getaway, this entrant moved along down the backstretch and through the turn before finishing well up the rail down the lane, which preceded a solid gallop out through the clubhouse turn. If she runs a typical figure for her along with an expected better start Saturday, we’ll push this turn timer steadily to be a big player for all the board placings.

SEVEN CHARMS pressed the pace from outside, raced on even terms at the seven-sixteenths, dueled into the far turn, took over near the five-sixteenths, cleared into the stretch, was urged once left-handed and drew off under hand urging in the late stages. MY INDY stalked the pace from inside, entered the stretch two wide and bested the rest. LEMONADE STAND set the pace under pressure from SEVEN CHARMS, dueled into the far turn, lost the lead near the five-sixteenths, remained inside to the stretch and weakened to third. HENCHMAN saved ground throughout and never threatened. SILENT MUSKETIER tracked two wide early then moved outside and put in a mild bid three deep near the half-mile pole, failed to keep up with the top pair leaving the backstretch, lost ground around the second bend and had little left for the drive.

FLATTERWITHJEWELS went up to take the lead from SECRET SQUARE and cleared around the first turn, showed the way inside and got pressured on the backstretch, held a short lead through the second bend, roused with a quarter mile to go, cleared in upper stretch and stayed strong to the wire. SECRET SQUARE away quickly to begin, ceded the lead and switch outside the pacesetter, prompted the pace from outside, lost contact with the winner in upper stretch but was clearly second best. INFO'S TREASURE tracked between runners then came three wide into the lane and gained the show. NICOLE GRACE broke in at the start, raced off the pace inside then pulled closer on the backstretch, chased along the fence inside a pair of rivals into the far turn, came out into the stretch and weakened. WILD ARCH went three deep around the clubhouse turn, raced widest up the backstretch, traveled three then four wide on the second bend and lacked further response.

SUNSHINE BABE stalked two wide then moved out to the three path, bid three deep on the far turn, cleared at the quarter pole, angled to the rail entering the stretch and widened under mild urging. MISS O'BRIEN settled along the inside, steered three wide into the drive, tipped outside UNUSUAL DANCER and edged that rival for the place honors. UNUSUAL DANCER stumbled a bit at the start, tracked two to three wide around both turns and got outkicked for second. MENSA ON TAP prompted the leader from outside, challenged from between on the far turn, chased the winner leaving the that bend while a bit off the rail and faded. GALARINA stalked the top pair from inside, shifted to the two path on the second bend and weakened. SO VERY SMART set the pace with MENSA ON TAP alongside, vied with a pair of runners on the far turn, was overtaken past the five-sixteenths and gave way.

LOVEHERHEART sped to the front, moved clear and showed the way along the inside to the stretch and drew off. SIGNORA MINISTER chased three deep then four wide into the lane and rallied outside RUBY RAY to earn the place. RUBY RAY chased outside the leader, three then two wide on the turn, could not summon the needed rally and lost the place. PRECIOUS INSIGHT got bumped by WE ALL AGREE at the start, chased on the inside, bumped with WE ALL AGREE again into the turn, saved ground into the stretch and failed to rally. HARDDIANE tracked five wide into the turn, four wide into the lane, came in upper stretch and lacked further response. WE ALL AGREE was fractious in the gate and had to be reloaded, broke in and bumped rival, chased between foes, bumped PRECIOUS INSIGHT entering the turn, went three wide into the drive and weakened.

ZABAVA got bumped by SAVING SOPHIE at the start, bumped lightly again soon after, entered the stretch two to three wide, rallied four wide outside the top trio and drove clear. LUCKY PERIDOT tucked inside early, bid between with a furlong to go, angled in mid-stretch and finished willingly for the place. LADY ROBIN stalked well off the leader early, closed in through the far turn, drew alongside into the lane, took over in upper stretch but got outkicked by the top pair. SABINOS PRIDE showed keen early foot and opened up a large early advantage, held a rapidly diminishing leaving the second bend, lost command in upper stretch, was bothered by LUCKY PERIDOT and steadied inside the furlong grounds and weakened. SAVING SOPHIE broke out and bumped rival at the start, bumped again soon after the start and checked hard, trailed the field on the inside to the stretch, angled off the rail and was never a factor. THE JOCKEY ABOARD SABINOS PRIDE LODGED AN OBJECTION AGAINST LUCKY PERIDOT, ALLEGING INTERFERENCE INSIDE THE EIGHTH POLE. AFTER A REVIEW, THE STEWARDS RULED THAT ALTHOUGH LUCKY PERIDOT DID CROSS OVER, SABINOS PRIDE WAS NOT COST A CHANGE AT A BETTER PLACING.
