Racing! The fiasco at Ferndale
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome to our horse racing newsletter as we ready for the final weekend in the Del Mar meeting.
We really don’t have the resources (meaning people) to keep up with the fair circuit. But there was an incident at Ferndale on Sunday that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. You can watch here. (Courtesy of Paulick Report)
What happens is the gate opens and the assistant starter is holding Dizzy Dancer in the gate. OK, seen that before. But notice that Seau is standing behind the gate and hasn’t loaded yet. Right, they opened the gates without everyone loading.
One of our intrepid readers wondered if I was going to do something on the fiasco at Ferndale, so I looked up the chart. Dizzy Dancer was declared a nonstarter in the chart and Seau was declared scratched with the notation: (gate).
Well, guess what really doesn’t tell the story: the chart.
So, I asked Mike Marten, the now beleaguered spokesman for the California Horse Racing Board, about what happened.
He indicated the race is being looked at and the starter could be subject to discipline but “the stewards at Golden Gate will hold an informal hearing before deciding what if any further action is required.”
Mike also forwarded a response from Jon White, who was a steward at Ferndale and also our Triple Crown expert for this newsletter. Here’s what Jon had to say:
“The field for the 1 5/8-mile Humboldt County Marathon, the biggest and final race of the meet, was dispatched without No. 6 Seau in the starting gate. We posted the inquiry sign immediately even as the race was being run. Additionally, No. 2 Dizzy Dancer was deprived of a fair start when held by the assistant starter. We declared that both Seau and Dizzy Dancer were non-starters. Because only four started, show wagering and super hi-five wagering was canceled.”
OK, Jon saves his real opinions for our newsletter. We understand the handcuffs he’s under as a steward.
Finally, you might be thinking that the last race at a meeting has some mandatory payouts. Well, you — and I — would be wrong.
“Concerning what happens to the Super High Five carryover, the entire fair circuit is considered one meet for pari-mutuel purposes, so that money will be carried over to Fresno,” Marten explained. “There was no mandatory payout scheduled for the final day at Ferndale. There will be a mandatory payout on the final day of Fresno, which is the last stop on the 2019 fair circuit.”
So, to pull a phrase from Jim Healy’s best-ever-half-hour radio show, and often repeated in this newsletter: “Who goofed, I’ve got to know?”
Del Mar review
Thursday’s feature, for Cal-bred filies and mares going 6½ furlongs for a purse of $64,000. Quit Kvetching breezed to the front going four-wide in the stretch to win 3½ lengths. Ron Ellis was the winning trainer and Drayden Van Dyke was aboard.
Quit Kvetching paid $7.60, $3.40 and $2.20. D’s Lovely Sophia was second and Ruby Bradley finished third.
Del Mar preview
The final twilight card of the meeting is seven races starting at 4 p.m. With only seven races, you don’t have to worry about sundown. There are three turf races, four races for Cal-breds including one stakes race.
The feature is the sixth, the $100,000 I’m Smokin’ Stakes for 2-year-old Cal-breds going six furlongs. There are currently 11 starters. The favorite, 3-1, is Phantom Boss for trainer Jorge Periban and jockey Rafael Bejarano. He was a Grade 3 winner at Churchill Downs and and win and second at Santa Anita.
The second favorite, at 7-2, is Square Deal for Simon Callaghan and Flavien Prat. He seemingly won the Graduation Stakes but was disqualified to second. He also has a second at Los Alamitos and a fifth at Santa Anita.
Here are the field sizes, in order (and, wow, what a job David Jerkens has done filling fields): 9, 6, 10 (1 also eligible), 11 (3 ae), 10, 11, 10 (4 ae).
Bob Ike’s DM pick of the day
FIFTH RACE: No. 5 Foxtail (6-1)
Mare from the John Sadler barn lost all chance when hopping in the air at start last time, yet still finished a respectable fourth vs. similar second-level allowance runners. She does her best running close to the pace and should rebound with a top effort, assuming she breaks cleanly this time under new rider Kent Desormeaux.
Thursday’s result: Zip The Monkey was marooned wide in no-man’s land throughout, understandably lacked punch in the lane, finished fourth. Can’t win on turf with this trip.

Los Alamitos weekend preview
It’s time to turn things over to marketing and media guru Orlando Gutierrez, who will tell us about the upcoming weekend at Los Alamitos. Orlando, the floor is yours.
“Juan Carlos Chavez’s multiple stakes winning filly Striver will look to showcase her quickness when she heads a $13,100 allowance event at 110 yards in the fifth race on Friday night at Los Alamitos. Trained by Scott Willoughby, Striver won the $30,000 La Pacifica Handicap by a nose at 350 yards on May 11 and also scored in the $15,000 Dreaming Sweet Handicap at 330 yards. The Foose filly won the Dreaming Sweet by 1½ lengths. Striver’s chief rival in this race could be Deceiver, a filly owned by Ed Allred and also trained by Willoughby. Deceiver will be making her first start since running in the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity last year.
“Jesus Daniel Padilla’s Baby Special Corona has matured into a terrific filly, most recently proven by her ¾ length victory in the Debutante Stakes on July 27. The Two Corona Special filly will go after her third straight victory when she headlines the $25,000 Sgt Pepper Feature for 3-year-olds on Saturday.
“’She’s improved every time,” trainer Felix Gonzalez said. “I’ve always hoped that her talent would eventually show. She’s gotten it done in her last two starts.
“A full-sister to Champion of Champions finalist Da One Two Special, Baby Special Corona will take on a strong group that includes three-time local stakes winner KR Hi Five and recent Catchmeinyourdreams Handicap winner Bos Time Machine.
“The Grade 1, $100,000 Go Man Go Handicap headlines the Sunday night card.
The 400-yard race has attracted top older horses led by defending stakes winner Tarzanito from the barn of trainer Yanet Rodriguez. The Monty Arrossa-trained Katies Easy Moves is another top contender after beating a strong field in the Grade 1 Vessels Maturity on July 7. He posted a 220-yard turn and work in 12.40 seconds two weeks ago in preparation for this race. Stablemate Zoomin For Spuds, an 11-time stakes winner at Los Alamitos, won the Brad McKinzie Los Alamitos Winter Championship this year but enters this race after running fifth in the Vessels final.
“BH Lisas Boy and He Looks Hot both come in to the Go Man Go following winning efforts. A four-time Grade 1 winner, BH Lisas Boy cruised to victory in the 440-yard Bank of America California Championship three weeks ago, while He Looks Hot added his seventh stakes win when winning the Spencer Childers Championship at 400 yards on July 27. He ran third in the Go Man Go two years ago. Hotstepper, the champion 3-year-old last year, and Jesstacartel, the 2018 PCQHRA Horse of the Year, will also race in the Go Man Go.
“Los Alamitos will simulcast the $1.5-million All American Derby at 440-yards on Sunday afternoon and the $3-million All American Futurity also the quarter mile distance on Monday. Champion Flash And Roll, winner of the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity and Golden State Million Futurity, will headline the All American Derby, which is scheduled for approximately 3:14 p.m. The fastest qualifier is American Hussle, who broke his maiden when winning his All American Derby trial. Determined One, fourth in the Ed Burke Million Futurity here on June 24, is one of the top contenders in the All American Futurity.”
Ed Burgart’s LA pick of the day
FOURTH RACE: No. 3 You Can Run (2-1)
He turned in a very strong 12.20 gate drill on Aug. 13 in preparation for debut and has leading rider Jesus Ayala aboard. After breaking slow before finishing well in his initial 13.0 gate work, You Can Run broke sharp in his latest strong drill when unleashing big strides under a hand ride while nearly six lengths clear of his workmate. In addition, he is by prolific quarter horse sire Favorite Cartel.
