Horse racing newsletter: Santa Anita’s meeting comes to an end
Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we catch up on stewards’ rulings and learn what the penalty is for not wearing a mask.
The guess here is that Santa Anita is glad to close the books on this meeting given everything that has gone on. And who can blame it?
I’m not going to get into all the stats here, but if you want to see what they all mean, check out this story I did for web and print on this Santa Anita meeting. No real headlines, just some details. Just click here.
Lost on Saturday’s Belmont day was an utterly spectacular performance by Bob Baffert’s 3-year-old filly Gamine. She won the Grade 1 $300,000 Acorn Stakes by 18¾ lengths. In addition, Gamine ran the mile in a 1:32.55, the fastest time in the 90-year history of the race.
“It was an amazing race out of her, especially coming into a Grade 1 and for it being only her third start,” Jimmy Barnes, Baffert’s top assistant, told NYRA media relations. “Johnny [Velazquez] rode her right to the way we told him to go. We told him to take advantage of her position and he certainly did.”
As for her next start?
“We’ll go home, give her a little time and see what’s next for her,” Barnes said. “I can imagine something at Saratoga.”

Stewards’ rulings
We’ve got two weeks of stewards’ rulings, so let’s get right to them.
— Veterinarian Jennifer Finley was fined $200 for failing to report a pre-Lasix treatment on Dec. 9, 2018, at Santa Anita on the official Veterinarian Report.
— Finley was fined $300 for failing to report four different treatments on the CHRB Veterinarian Report. Those came on Jan. 27, 2019, Feb. 3, 2019, Feb. 4, 2019, and Feb. 5, 2019. Finley said she properly faxed the reports to the receiving barn at Santa Anita. Amy Nakagawa, assistant to the CHRB veterinarian, said there were “no issues” with the fax machine.
— Jockey Ruben Fuentes was fined $500 for excessive use of the riding crop on Tina’s Exchange in the second race on May 31. The 7-year-old gelding finished third in the seven-horse race. Fuentes was told if he continues to overuse the riding crop it could lead to a suspension. It was the fifth riding crop violation of the year, with other rulings coming on Jan. 4, Jan. 12, March 20 and May 24.
— Jockey Umberto Rispoli was suspended three days (June 12, 13, 14) for careless riding aboard Mystery Messenger in the second race on May 31, a 5½-furlong turf race. Turning for home Rispoli allowed Mystery Messenger to shift out and make solid contact with Portando, the eventual winner. Mystery Messenger finished fourth. It was a majority decision as steward Luis Jauregui voted for no penalty.
— Owner Mario Lopez Garcia had his license suspended for failure to show up for a hearing in regard to a separate issue with his license. The suspension started on June 13 and during this time he is denied access to CHRB horse tracks. The specifics of his license problems were not listed in the stewards’ minutes except by rule violation number.
— Jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr., was suspended for one additional day (June 13) for riding in four graded stakes at Belmont on June 6. Jockeys are allowed to run in one “designated” (usually meaning stakes) race a day while on suspension. The original three-day suspension was the result of his ride at Santa Anita aboard Rockemperor on May 23.
— Jockey Jorge Velez was suspended three days (June 14, 19, 20) for careless riding aboard Foxborough in the second race on June 6. The ruling said he altered course without sufficient clearance and caused interference. Foxborough finished third in the six-horse race. His placing of third was not changed.
— Trainer Leonard Powell was fined $50 for entering the track during a workers’ only time on June 3. Powell went to the gate to school a horse with no intention of working the horse. This is not permitted during the 10-minute workout period. The policy has been in place for more than a year.
— Trainer Gustav Headley was fined $25 for failure to wear a face covering while galloping. He had previously been warned by security to wear a mask. Headley offered reasons why he wasn’t wearing a covering but the stewards did not think it relieved him from culpability.
— Jockey Mario Gutierrez was fined $100 for using the riding crop more than three times in a row without allowing his horse, Knifes Edge, to respond. The horse won the race. Gutierrez disagreed that he didn’t give the horse a chance to respond but accepted the decision.
— Trainer James Cassidy was fined $500 when Summer Apparition tested positive for Methocarbamol, a muscle relaxer, after a workout on April 2. Cassidy said it was a mistake by his foreman Betty Chavez, who treats all of his horses, but accepted full responsibility.
— Jockey Agapito Delgadillo was suspended three days (June 21, 26, 27) for careless riding aboard Big Andy in the first race on June 13. Big Andy was disqualified from first to fourth when he drifted out several paths after Delgadillo used a left-hand crop on the horse causing at least one horse to have to steady. The jockey said he was clear when the horse drifted out.
— Delgadillo was fined $200 for disorderly conduct when he used profanity on the phone to steward Kim Sawyer after learning of his penalty in the above ruling. The stewards let Delgadillo know that type of behavior will not be tolerated. Steward Luis Jauregui voted for a tougher penalty.
Santa Anita review
A pretty full closing day of races, including four stakes. Let’s get to them.
$75,000 Siren Lure Stakes: A late dump of money made Big Runneur the favorite in this 5½-furlong turf race and proved the bettors knew what was going to happen. He took the lead after a quarter-mile and never was threatened, winning by 1 ¼ lengths.
Big Runneur paid $5.40, $3.60 and $3.00. Mesut was second, followed by Torosay, Yes I Am Free, Sparky Ville, Ultimate Bango and Portando.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Victor Garcia (winning trainer): “I thought there might be a question mark on how much speed the four-horse (Sparky Ville) was going to show [Sunday]. He ran a huge race the other day (second by a nose in Daytona), but I told [jockey] Ruben [Fuentes] I think the one (Torosay) is going to go, so make sure you go with him. We put the blinkers on this horse last time and they’ve helped. He’s learning.”
Ruben Fuentes (winning jockey): “He focuses a little more [with blinkers]. He is certainly more aggressive but yet he’s a horse you can control. He can be off the pace if the pace is fast. [Sunday], nobody wanted to lead for some reason. I didn’t hear anybody send or anything, so I said, ‘If they give it to me, I’ll take it.’ I just tried to get him to relax and he pretty much did the rest.”
Grade 3 $100,000 San Juan Capistrano: This is one of the favorite races for fans as it starts at the top of downhill course and goes around the main track twice, making it a 1¾-mile race.
Red King ran a smart race watching as Kershaw and favored Ward ‘n Jerry battled up at the front and he just watched until the stretch when he went three wide and rolled past everyone for a 4 ¼-length win.
Red King paid $9.80, $4.80 and $2.60. Siberian Iris was second, followed by Ward ‘n Jerry, Tintoretto, Swamp Souffle, Avalanche, Soberano and Kershaw.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Phil D’Amato (winning trainer): “Growing up here in L.A., this was always one of my favorite races as a kid. I remember I used to like to stand on apron way past the wire and watch them come home in this race, just so I could take it all in. It’s just an amazing race and it’s really cool to win it. My horse won his last race and that picked his confidence up. It looked like maybe the favorite moved a little soon and [jockey] Umberto [Rispoli] was in the right spot.”
Umberto Rispoli (winning jockey): “It’s fantastic. It was my first time going from the top of the downhill and I couldn’t understand how we cannot race so much on this track, it is beautiful. The grass is amazing, it’s a really good track. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone so far in a race, because in Europe we used to go quite enough every day. But it was a good feeling, obviously you need a horse like that.”
$150,000 Melair Stakes: This was 1 1/16-mile race for Cal-bred (and whenever we say this we also mean Cal-sired) race for 3-year-old fillies. Warren’s Showtime was content to stay near the back for most of the race until midway in the far turn, when she made her move and took the lead at the top of stretch and won by a length.
Warren’s Showtime paid $10.60, $3.60 and $2.20. Smiling Shirlee was second, followed by Big Sweep, Homehome, Kristi’s Tiger and Reiwa.
Here’s what the winning connection had to say.
Craig Lewis (winning trainer): “How sweet it is. She was much the best [Sunday]. She was forced wide into the first turn and lost ground turning for home. … We’ve got her mother (Warren’s Veneda) back in foal to Clubhouse Ride and she’s got a yearling full brother and a Clubhouse filly by her side. This stud has been absolutely amazing, these foals are sound, versatile and they can really run. He was bred to 100 mares this year, so we feel really good about that.”
Jorge Velez (winning jockey): “ This time her post position was better than the last two times she was on the dirt. I ride this filly very comfortably; she did a good job.”
Grade 3 $100,000 American Stakes: In what was supposed to be one of the most competitive races on the card, Blitzkrieg made it a gate-to-wire romp winning the mile turf race by a length.
Blitzkrieg, a bit of an upset, paid $16.80, $7.80 and $4.60. Bowies Hero was second, followed by Souter, Sharp Samurai, True Valour, Border Town, Cleopatra’s Strike, King of Speed and Bolo.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Leandro Mora (assistant to winning trainer Doug O’Neill): “His last work was phenomenal. He went six furlongs, on his own, in 58 and four-[fifths] and galloped out in 1:12. He worked so good, we were tempted to put him back on the dirt, but we stuck to the plan and I’m glad we did. I told [jockey] Victor [Espinoza] that with Bolo drawn way outside, let’s go and I think maybe we can steal it. He’s back, no question. This is the horse we thought we had all along.”
Victor Espinoza (winning jockey): “When I walked out of the room I was talking to Leandro and I asked him, ‘What do you think?’ He said, ‘I think the only chance we have is just to send him and hopefully I could go wire to wire.’ It was the only chance we had up against these tough horses, it was not an easy race, it was tough race. He mentioned there was another speed in the race. I said, ‘OK, well Bolo is way out and I’m a little bit closer to the rail so it think I have a better chance to get the lead easier than him.’ It worked out well [Sunday]. The pace was pretty quick, but he was doing it so easy, for me every time I ride a horse like him with speed, I like to just sit up there and have fun.”
A special thanks
As Santa Anita closes its signature meeting, it wouldn’t be fair without mentioning the people that made my job easier under extraordinary circumstances. The truth is I haven’t been to Santa Anita since the San Felipe/Big ‘Cap day. And even during normal times, I need help to do this job. But this year I needed more.
I watch every race on television, but that is just the tiniest of things I need. I want to thank Mike Willman, the tireless director of publicity for Santa Anita, for his help during this and all times. He is and has been the heartbeat of that department for a long time. Don’t ever retire, at least before me. There is Ed Golden, whose stable notes are filled with nuggets of information and wisdom that make my job easier. There is Jasmine Torrez, who runs the mechanics of the publicity department, but don’t tell Mike she’s really in charge. And, Jason Hom, whose nonstop flow of information, charts, past performances and other data give me the stuff I truly need.
Thank you very much. Hope to see you soon.

BIG RUNNUER dueled with rival to the inside for command, cleared that foe and inched away around the turn, urged right-handed in the drive and held safely. MESUT angled to the inside in the early stages, saved ground around the turn, angled out near the sixteenth pole and rallied for the place.

ULTIMATE BANGO stalked two wide through the bend, came out in upper stretch and lacked a rally. PORTANDO lacked early speed, took the turn two wide and never threatened.
