Horse racing newsletter: All good things must come to an end
![ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 23: A starting gate stands outside the track on the final day.](https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/97eb326/2147483647/strip/true/crop/5171x3648+0+0/resize/1200x847!/quality/75/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F97%2F7b%2F42820dfb412fbd0671123c2ec6d6%2Fhttps-delivery.gettyimages.com%2Fdownloads%2F1157898957.jpg)
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as The Chosen Vron wins the graded stakes at Santa Anita.
Well, all good things must come to an end. This newsletter is going to go away next Monday, coinciding with the end of the Santa Anita meet. (We just picked that day as a logical stop point.) I think it’s been a successful four-plus year run. We were hoping for 2,000 subscribers and ended up with more than 7,000.
The reason was simply a business decision, nothing deeper, darker or in any ways a reflection on the content. Or was there any pressure from the 100s of people I irritated, especially those in the business?
Now, if you have an opinion on this or any other decision the Los Angeles Times makes about its coverage, you are welcome to contact our readers’ representative. They can be reached here.
As for me, I’m not going away. I will continue to anchor our horse racing coverage be it the Triple Crown races, Breeders’ Cup, Santa Anita, Del Mar or Los Alamitos. I even plan to still listen and report on California Horse Racing Board meetings, so there is no upside there.
This will allow me to spend more time on more in-depth projects, be they features, enterprise stories or even investigative. So, keep the tips coming. Make sure you follow me on twitter (@jcherwa) so I can let you know when these stories publish.
There will be a more formal farewell next Monday, so for now, let’s get to the good stuff.
CHRB rulings
Well, this is a first. Since we’ve starting doing this we’ve never had a week where the local stewards did not issue one ruling … until now. Glad racing went down with no problems last week.
Sorry to report …
Santa Anita had its third racing or training fatality in a little over two weeks on Sunday when Pushing Sixty was injured in the first race while exiting the far turn while running in a starter allowance turf race. The injury, a fractured left front ankle, was considered too severe for recovery and the horse was euthanized. It was the 11th racing or training death since the meeting started on Dec. 26. Santa Anita has three more racing days before the meeting ends.
Meet at Dudley’s was euthanized after a training accident on Wednesday and Agamemnon died as the results of injuries suffered racing on May 31. During the 2019 winter/spring meeting 30 horses died. During that year, the 11th death occurred on Jan. 25.
Santa Anita review
There were two stakes races on Sunday, one graded and one minor. Let’s review them.
$75,000 Possibly Perfect Stakes: This is one of the few races that starts on the downhill course, at least the bottom part of the course, as it’s 1 ¼ miles on the turf for fillies and mares. It looked as if heavily favored Dogtag was going to win this race, but Rideforthecause just kept gaining ground and in the last jump won by a head.
Rideforthecause, running for Michael McCarthy, paid $16.00, $4.60 and $3.20. Dogtag was second followed by Neige Blanche, Go Big Blue Nation, Lady Noguez, Catch the Eye, Kuora and Dynapower.
Mario Gutierrez (winning jockey): “I think I got to know her a little bit better, but even though last time, if you watch the replay, it was just the luck of the [head-bob]. I knew it was going to be tough to catch [Dogtag] but my filly, every time I would ask her and would push her, she was giving me all she can. … I looked for the wire and it was a little far, so I wasn’t 100% confident. But I knew she was charging all the way until the end.”
Grade 3 $100,000 Affirmed Stakes: If only this 3-year-old race were 1 miles instead of 1 1/16 miles than the winner might have been different. But it wasn’t. It looked as if it was Defunded’s race in the stretch but as his his stride got shorter, favored The Chosen Vron’s got longer. The Chosen Vron won by 1 ¼ lengths.
The Chosen Vron paid $5.20, $2.80 and $2.10. Defunded was second followed by Classier, Mr. Impossible and Jimmy Irish.
Eric Kruljac (winning trainer): “I thought he’d show more natural speed but they sent a couple horses real hard and Umberto [Rispoli] took the initiative and he had so much horse last time. … And he had so much left over at the finish last time. He rode the horse with a lot of faith and he got there. He had a lot of kickback on him, but he’ll run through it, this horse. … But it looks like we’ll run for a $175,000 in the Real Good Deal going seven furlongs next time at Del Mar [on July 30]. …I decided to go here [Sunday] to experiment with the distance because we have almost 40 days to the race at Del Mar. So, we had time to regroup if it didn’t go well.”
Umberto Rispoli (winning jockey): “When the gates crashed his intent was to go. Obviously he’s coming from a six-furlong race but he understood that when we didn’t go anywhere, he just switched off his mind and on the first turn he was just completely relaxed. I had him in a good spot, I threw him on the inside because I know he likes the kickback, and I travelled all the way inside to find a good spot at the three-eighth pole just moving him up. At that point I knew he was the horse to beat, I felt that I had so much horse under me that he did the rest.”
