Racing! Looking at limiting breeding rules
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as Los Alamitos successfully runs its first two stakes.
On Friday, the Jockey Club, the folks who manage horse names and enforcing breeding rules, said it was considering limiting to 140 the number of times a stallion can breed during the breeding season. The idea is to diversify the gene pool.
“In 2007, 37 stallions reported in excess of 140 mares bred each from a total of 3,865 stallions,” TJC said in a news release. “By 2010, that number had declined to 24. Since then, the number has nearly doubled to 43 stallions reporting 140 or more mares bred from a population of stallions that now stands at less than one half of 2007.
“On the mare side, in 2007, 5,894 mares (9.5% of the total) were bred by stallions that covered more than 140 mares. By 2019, 7,415 mares (27% of the total) were covered by stallions with books of more than 140, a threefold increase.”
There are some phase-in rules, if this comes to fruition:
—If you are entering stud service for the first time in 2020, you get a pass from the 140-rule until 2023.
—If you became a stud in 2019, you get a pass through 2022.
—If you got the best postrace job in 2018, you get a pass through 2021.
—And, if you entered the profession in 2017, the clock starts ticking Jan. 1, 2021. (Not that any horse would be bred Jan. 1)
Now, I haven’t checked in with my full Kitchen Cabinet, which generally helps shape all my smart ideas (the dumb ideas generally just belong to me), but at first blush this seems like a good idea.
But, if there is one thing I’ve learned about racing, it’s more often the King of Unintended Consequences as opposed to the Sport of Kings.
For example, how would this affect syndication fees? Or would stud fees go up or down with a flatter playing field? And, would this lead to mass exodus of horses going outside the jurisdiction of TJC?
Like I said, sounds like a good idea, but there needs to be some studying done.
Los Alamitos thoroughbred review
In the first stakes of Saturday’s card, Flor De La Mar rallied from last to win the $75,000 Beverly J. Lewis for 3-year-old fillies. It was a compact field of six and Flor De La Mar, who was second in the Santa Anita Oaks this year, rallied wide in the stretch to win by half a length.
She paid $7.20, $4.40 and $3.00. Madame Vestal was second, followed by Message, Andyoushallreceive. Motion Emotion and Nomizar.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say:
Mike Marlow (assistant trainer to Bob Baffert, winning trainer): “She’s been doing well. She just needed a little bit of a break. She got a little bit of light and her last couple of races weren’t that impressive. I think the freshening helped her and she was impressive today the last part of the race. She gets a little wound up in the post parade once in a while and [jockey] Mike [Smith] got her to settle well and I think that was a big factor today.”
Smith: “I didn’t get to warm her up as much as I wanted. I was happy she kept her mind. It was a huge race for her. Bob has her headed in the right direction.’’
In the other stakes, Oliver won the $75,000 E.B. Johnson Stakes for Cal-breds going a mile. It was won by Oliver (Please, sir, I want some more … and if you haven’t gotten the reference, how about trying to read a classic book or movie, for goodness sake) by 1½ lengths over tiring frontrunners.
Oliver paid $8.80, $5.60 and $3.80. Tule Fog was second followed by Queen Be To You, Cruel Intention, California Journey, Fire When Ready, Smokey Image and Shades Of Victory.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say:
Leandro Mora (assistant trainer to Doug O’Neill, winning trainer): “I am very proud of him. I talked to Doug this morning and he asked me which one of our horses I liked on the card today and I told him I liked Oliver. I like the way this horse is improving, so I felt confident. He’s just matured a lot as he’s gotten older.”
Martin Garcia (winning jockey): “I had a lot of confidence today. The older he gets, the better he gets. He relaxed on his own and had a good finish.”
Those of you who were concerned about Free Ricky (and that should be all of you), who was pulled up in the sixth race on the far turn and vanned off, will be happy to learn that he suffered a nonlife-threatening soft tissue injury, according to the stewards. Now, the injury isn’t good, but the words “nonlife-threatening” are always welcome.
Los Alamitos thoroughbred preview
You were warned in Saturday’s newsletter about the small field sizes on Sunday cards. It’s nine races with seven of them having six horses and one having five. Seven of the races are 5½ furlongs.
There is no feature but two races that are worth $40,000. We’ll designate the second race maiden special for 2-year-olds as our feature. The other $40,000 race is for 2-year-olds Cal-breds and those restricted races are always worth more money than if it weren’t for state-breds.
The top two horses in the second are both Baffert 2-year-olds. (Baffert having good 2-year-olds, would have thunk it?) Anyway, he’s got first-time starter Ragtime Blues, at 6-5, with Abel Cedillo aboard. He also has Bronn, owned by wife Jill, who was fourth in two races at Del Mar. Bronn, ridden by J.C. Diaz, Jr., is 7-5, so, it’s a coin flip.
Here are the field sizes in order: 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 6, 6, 6.

Ciaran Thornton’s Lrc pick of the day
RACE SIX: No. 6 Navy Queen (9-2)
Navy Queen drops in class today and races protected after a closing third in both starts at Del Mar. She has speed and she can close. She has a tendency to push early, fade back and then come running late. In a race full of poor debuting horses the race profile could set up very nicely if jockey J.C. Diaz can keep her a little closer into the stretch. 9-2 is good value in a valueless card today.
Saturday’s result: Well I had hoped the jockey on Queen Bee To You would save some speed but nope, he went to the lead again and faded in the stretch to run third. I will only bet this horse again if they change jockeys.

Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
SECOND RACE: No. 4 Take City By Storm (5-2)
Trainer Jesus Uranga has enjoyed terrific success with first-out claims and speedster draws outside two other front-running rivals (Rockin My Mojo and Chocolate Mess) who don’t always come away alertly. He comes off a strong runnerup effort at longer distance in last when dueling for lead to the 1/8-pole and leading jockey Edgar Payeras climbs aboard here.
