Racing! SoCal racing loses some familiar names

By John CherwaSpecial Contributor

Nov. 18, 2019 4 AM PT

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as racing (and this newsletter) takes a break until Friday.

A couple of familiar faces have departed Southern California recently in hopes of finding riches back East. Hall of fame jockey Kent Desormeaux and longtime jockey Martin Garcia have left more because of lack of opportunity than any concern over the future of California racing.

Desormeaux is going to Fair Grounds in New Orleans and Garcia plans to ride the Kentucky circuit. A couple of years ago, Garcia went out on his own after splitting with trainer Bob Baffert. But Garcia came back and had continued to ride on the Southern California circuit until recently.

As for Desormeaux, he’s seen business slow down lately precipitating his decision to go back to his native Louisiana.

While these moves make perfect sense, it’s something to watch as California continues to deal with its horse shortage. If there are fewer horses, there are fewer races and fewer opportunities for jockeys. This coming year may be the most critical in the state’s history as it tries to rebound from a large spike in horse fatalities. One of the many indicators on how things are going is how many trainers and jockeys move out of state.

During the height of the Santa Anita crisis, trainers sent a lot of the horses back east. The tracks have rebounded a bit since then but the horse population is lower than it’s been in many years. It seems as if every meet is the most important one it has ever had. The industry is hoping it can back to where an upcoming meet is just that and nothing more.

Where are the stewards’ rulings?

I know you folks look forward to the stewards’ rulings with comments from the minutes every Monday. But there are none this week. Why? Well, don’t know if the stewards were slow getting them to Sacramento or the folks in the CHRB office were slow making them public. But, that’s logically one of he answers. We’ll double up next week, maybe.

Del Mar review

Before we look at Sunday’s feature, just a reminder that Del Mar has canceled its Thursday card in fear of bad weather. Queen Bee to You was content to watch Creative Instinct and Mo See Call set the early pace in the $100,000 Betty Grable Stakes for Cal-bred fillies and mares going seven furlongs. But when the real running started at the top of the stretch, Queen Be to You made her move and stretch her lead to win by 4 ½ lengths.

Queen Bee to You paid $8.00, $4.80 and $2.60. Show It N Moe It was second and Mo See Cal finished third.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Andrew Lerner (winning trainer): “We put this mare in some tough spots. Two against the boys, one in the Clement Hirsch [at Del Mar]. We tried some different things with her. I’m glad she vindicated us today. It’s a great feeling and an emotional win. She’s versatile, she can run on dirt or grass, but we’ve had trouble finding races for her. It’s a matter of finding the right spot and the right distance. Her last race really sharpened her for this.”

Flavien Prat (winning jockey): “We (he and trainer Lerner) liked the outside post. When I asked her on the turn, she really went. She’s won at a mile before, but I think seven-eighths is just right for her.”

GOLDEN NECKLACE angled in and chased outside a rival, went up three deep on the second turn and four wide into the stretch, bid outside to gain the lead while drifting inward in midstretch, and held on gamely under left handed urging. SCARLET HEAT chased outside a rival then three deep into and on the second turn and into the stretch, was between horses in upper stretch and finished well. HOT MAGISTRATE had speed between horses then dueled outside a rival, took a short lead into the second turn, fought back inside on that turn and in the stretch. OUR ROMANCE chased inside then a bit off the rail, was in tight between foes leaving the backstretch, continued between foes on the second turn and three wide into the stretch and could not quite summon the needed late kick. SLEW SOUTH a bit slow to begin, angled in and settled off the rail then outside a rival, came out leaving the second turn and five wide into the stretch and finished with some interest. TIZZY angled in and stalked outside a rival, was in tight between foes leaving the backstretch, went between horses on the second turn, came three deep into the stretch and steadied off heels and was outfinished. LADY EMBER broke a bit slowly, chased inside then a bit off the rail, split horses on the second turn, came four wide into the stretch and lacked the needed rally. Y NOT SIZZLE saved ground chasing the pace, was in a bit tight leaving the backstretch, waited for room leaving the second turn, came out into the stretch, lacked room from upper stretch to midstretch and went around a rival late. LYDIA O LYDIA pulled along the inside, dueled from the rail, was in tight along the fence on the second turn and weakened in the drive. LOVE NOT WAR pulled hard three deep then drifted out into the first turn, stalked off the rail then between foes, bid three deep into the second turn and outside a rival leaving that turn, dropped back in the stretch and had little left for the drive.
