Horse racing newsletter: Preakness set for Oct. 3
- Share via
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter, as Santa Anita has another strong day of good racing and strong betting.
The Triple Crown picture got slightly more clear on Saturday when it was announced that the Preakness Stakes will be held on Oct. 3, four weeks after the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5. All that remains unknown is the date of the Belmont Stakes.
The New York Racing Assn. got the go-ahead from Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Saturday that it can resume racing as early as June 1, but without spectators. The Belmont was originally scheduled for June 6.
So, here’s where it gets interesting. It seems as if the Belmont is penned in to being before the Kentucky Derby. The Preakness didn’t leave enough time between its race and the Breeders’ Cup on Nov. 5-6 to hold another race. And, even if the Preakness had gone two weeks after the Derby, it still wouldn’t have worked with the Belmont being three weeks later. Plus, it’s getting cold in New York around that time and Belmont Park doesn’t have, what’s that called, oh yeah, heat.
Now, the question comes up on how you can start a Triple Crown series with a 1 ½-mile race, especially since no horse would have gone more than 1 1/8 miles by then. The folks at NYRA are pretty smart. I have little doubt they will make the right decision for them and for racing. If I were to guess, it might be a Belmont Stakes in August at a shorter distance. We’ll see.
NYRA promises an announcement pretty soon, and here’s guessing it already knows what it is going to do.
Another big mutuel day at Santa Anita
Santa Anita had another huge day in mutuel handle mostly because of fewer tracks running and partly because of the huge field sizes. On Saturday, it did a handle of $14,342,635, which was a 132% increase over the Saturday before the shutdown, March 21. On that day, the track did $6,176,498. On Friday, the track had a 184% increase over the last Friday before the shutdown.
Santa Anita review
Before we get to the two stakes races on Saturday, here’s a little warning that our coverage may be a little thinner than usual. It’s no secret that most of the quotes we get, except on big days, are provided by Mike Willman of Santa Anita. He’s a grinder and is down there every feature race helping the media cover races they are not at. And, now even if the media wanted to be at the track, it is excluded.
Things are a little different with no winner’s circle. Willman has to talk to the jockey on the horse because they never get off until they are at the jockey’s room and only jockeys can go to that area.
So, forgive us if the quotes are shorter. On to the stakes.
$100,000 Echo Eddie Stakes. The race was restricted to Cal-bred 3-year-olds going six furlongs. Traditionally, these open races are filled by colts and geldings but trainer Mark Glatt decided to enter Big Sweep, a filly, in this race instead of the Evening Jewel, restricted to fillies. Seems as if Glatt knew what he as doing. And it didn’t hurt that Flavien Prat was the rider.
She stayed mid-pack into the stretch when she was third. Rookie Mistake looked as if he was going to win, but Big Sweep kept gaining ground and won at the wire by a head. Big Sweep paid $4.20, $3.40 and $2.60. Rookie Mistake was second and Club Aspen finished third.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Mark Glatt (winning trainer): “The race unfolded totally different than we thought. We didn’t expect to be that far back, but she handled the dirt in her face very well. To be able to show a totally different dimension in only her second start is pretty amazing. We did nominate to both stakes (including the Evening Jewel against fillies) and it looks like we made a good decision. We’ll see where we go from here.”
Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “She ran really well. She settled nicely behind the speed and she handled the kick-back like a pro. She’s got a lot of heart.”
$100,000 Evening Jewel: This race has the same conditions as the Echo Eddie but for fillies. Bulletproof One was the big favorite but Smiling Shirlee delivered with a smart race, content to be near the back at the start but making a move on the far turn. She entered the stretch second and won by half a length.
Smiling Shirlee paid $9.60, $5.00 and $3.40. Bella Vita was second and Been Studying Her was third.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Jeff Bonde (winning trainer): “We had the extra time off and she’d been training extremely well for this race. We were concerned with the rail, but Mike [Smith] fit this filly like a glove, he really did. Like I say, she’d been training well and she rewarded us [Saturday].”
Mike Smith (winning jockey): “What a race she ran. I thought that if she ran back to her last race [2 3/4-length Cal-bred allowance win on March 6] she’d be hard to beat [Saturday]. The two [Bella Vita] ran a big race but my filly dug in and got the job done.”
Santa Anita preview
It’s a really good 10-race card, and I’m not making a joke about it this time. There are four allowance/optional claimers, four maiden special weights (including one for 2-year-olds) and a stakes race with some pretty good names. There is only one race just for claimers. First post is 12:30 p.m.
The feature is the Grade 3 $100,000 Desert Stormer Stakes for fillies and mares going six furlongs. The favorite, at 6-5, is Bellafina for trainer Simon Callaghan and jockey Flavien Prat. She has won six of 14 races including three Grade 1s. She was a top of the ticket stakes horses as a 2-year-old but finished fourth as the favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies in 2018. She was the favorite in the Kentucky Oaks the next year but finished fifth.
Last year’s Santa Anita Oaks, was the last race she has won. Along the way she has won $1,452,975. In her last race, she was a well-beaten fourth in the ungraded Carousel at Oaklawn Park. So, how will she do returning to Santa Anita remains the big question.
At 5-2, the second favorite is the familiar Mother Mother for Bob Baffert and Mike Smith. She has also been a big-ticket filly but doesn’t have a Grade 1 win. She has won three of her 11 races and has four seconds and two thirds to go with the wins. Her last win came two back in the ungraded Kalookan Queen at Santa Anita on Jan. 12. This will be the first time that Smith has ridden the filly. She has had her share of riders including Prat, Joel Rosario, Florent Geroux and Drayden Van Dyke. But, Van Dyke is on Baffert’s other entry, Fighting Mad (4-1). Don’t know what to read into that. Post is listed at 4:08 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 10 (1 also eligible), 6, 7,11, 11 (2 ae), 7, 9, 8, 11 (2 ae), 10 (4 ae).
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
RACE SIX: No. 2 Loud Mouth (30-1).
Loud Mouth is 30-1 morning line and may look like a crazy play but trainer Steve Knapp is having a great year from his small stable, winning 21%. His in-the-money percentages hover around the 30-50% zone on multiple categories including 42% dirt to turf and 49% on the year. Van Dyke is enticed to ride after they did an exercise run under the lights last month. If you watch the last race replay, Loud Mouth was finito, done, no chance but after the finish line surged from 10 back to pass an easy winner. The form lines look to be incorrect for that last race so it could give us a big value angle here. This 30-1 price screams value! Maybe I should keep this one to myself, John?
Saturday’s result: Speakerofthehouse did absolutely nothing we thought the horse would do. For some reason the horse was placed in Del Mar but into the turn never had a chance.

Chris Wade’s L.A. pick of the day
RACE SIX: No. 3 Roses for a Princess (5-1).
She comes from a barn with excellent stats with 2-year-olds (19%) and the filly went a lot better than looked when running fifth in her career debut 22 nights ago. She bobbled and veered outward at the gate before regaining her turn of foot past the gap and finishing well even when drifting in steadily in the late going. The jockey/trainer combo of Ruben Lozano and Valentin Zamudio do well together with a 24% win ratio.
