Horse racing newsletter: Got a spare $110,000?
- Share via
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as Santa Anita readies for a Kentucky Derby points race on Saturday. I don’t know about you, but didn’t yesterday feel like a Saturday?
One of the worst things about the holiday season is figuring out what to buy for somebody who pretty much has what they want and need. My wife got a coffeemaker (I know, so romantic), a subscription to BroadwayHD and a couple other things. And then it came to my inbox, a week late, from the Thoroughbred Owners of California. (For the record, I’m not an owner, just get the emails … for now.)
TOC members can take advantage of a special deal from Sentient Jet for a 20-hour Jet Card starting at $5,480 an hour. That’s about a $400-an-hour break from normal pricing and the minimum number of hours was dropped from 25 to 20. I mean, how you can pass up such a deal? So, I checked the seat cushions for a spare $110,000.
There’s more if you take this deal of a lifetime: You get one free hour of flight time, presumably not the first hour and then you can cancel, and also a $2,000 betting voucher for Santa Anita or Del Mar.
Now, I’m not unfamiliar to private jet travel. I was on one … once. It was 1991 when a horse aficionado friend of mine decided to take a few of us to Churchill Downs for the Breeders’ Cup. I wasn’t covering racing then, so there was no conflict of interest. We met at Santa Monica Airport about 4 a.m., flew to Louisville, watched the races, and flew right back. Long but fun day.
So, here we are almost 30 years later and this new deal (apologies to FDR) comes up. As the email said: “Getting where you need to go safely, securely and quickly has always been a luxury, but in today’s world, it’s a necessity.”
Yup, private air travel usually comes up third in surveys, behind a roof over your head and food on the table, as a life necessity.
If you haven’t picked up on the sarcasm so far, you’re probably not a usual reader of this newsletter. As a journalist, my outrage threshold is lower than average folk. Here we are in the midst of a horrific public health emergency, owners in Northern California can’t run their horses, making paying the feed bills difficult, and all the other issues that come with racing in California. Plus, most of the horse owners in California are regular folks with just a few horses and aren’t the super-rich.
How tone-deaf to the current problems can the TOC possibly be?
So, I texted Gary Fenton, one of the big shots at the TOC and managing partner of Little Red Feather Racing. He got right back to me.
“Through NTRA Advantage, the TOC has deals with marketing partners and members save significantly from Sentient, John Deere, Office Depot, Sherwin Williams, Big Ass Fans etc.,” Fenton said. “TOC has members from all socioeconomic backgrounds and any money TOC receives from our marketing partners is obviously and ultimately for the benefit of all members.
“Marketing Sentient at this time might appear tone-deaf to some, but the alternative is turning down marketing revenue that helps purses and I’m not sure that is the right call either. I’ll discuss with [TOC president and CEO] Greg [Avioli] and the other board members. It’s a sensitive and difficult time for many, not just our members, and we certainly don’t mean to upset anyone.”
Thanks, Gary, a very reasonable and thoughtful response.
I’ve only got one question left. Are you supposed to tip your private pilot, and if so, how much?

Santa Anita review
A lot of credit to be dished out in relation to Friday’s running of the Grade 2 $200,000 Joe Hernandez Stakes back at 6 ½ furlongs on turf, but not the downhill course. First, trainer Peter Miller claimed Hembree at 6 (now 7) after winning an allowance/optional claimer dirt race and comes back next out and wins a Grade 2 turf race. Then there is jockey Joel Rosario, who stuck to the plan and rode the rail from last to first, even squeezing through a very small hole near the top of the stretch to take the lead. And, I guess some credit has to go to Hembree for winning the race by three-quarters of a length.
Hembree paid $12.40, $6.20 and $3.60. True Valor was second, followed by Blizkrieg, Texas Wedge, Chaos Theory, Wildman Jack and P R Radio Star.
Peter Miller (winning trainer): “Brilliant, it really was just a fantastic ride by Joel [Rosario], that’s why he’s one of the world’s best. He’s a very fast horse, he runs fast figures and fast Beyers. The question to me was whether the six and a half was too short for him, but he answered the question the right way.”
Joel Rosario (winning jockey): “Pete told me to let him be early and try to make one run with him. He broke well and I thought we were in a good spot, not too far off the lead. He made a nice move around the turn and when that other horse came to him, he tried very hard.”
Santa Anita preview
Santa Anita has yet another strong card for Saturday, nine races starting at 12:30 p.m. There are two stakes races, a Grade 2 and a Kentucky Derby points race. Five of the races will be on the turf, including three on the new chute. Things seem to be going well on this new addition to Santa Anita.
Let’s look at the two stakes races.
Grade 2 $200,000 San Gabriel Stakes: This is for horses going 1 1/8 miles on the turf. It’s a field of seven led by Count Again, the 2-1 favorite for trainer Phil D’Amato and jockey Juan Hernandez. The 6-year-old gelding is making his second start for D’Amato after coming from the barn of Gail Cox, who was racing in Canada. He is four-of-eight lifetime and is coming off a Grade 2 win in the Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar. In September, he won a Grade 3 at Woodbine. Anothertwistafate is the second choice, at 5-2, for Peter Miller and Joel Rosario. This 5-year-old ran in the 2019 Preakness, finishing 10th and then was off until September o2020 and won a Grade 3 at Emerald Downs. Last out he was fourth in the Seabiscuit. Post is around 3:35 p.m.
Grade 3 $100,000 Sham Stakes: Authentic won this race last year, so, maybe this is one you should note. It’s a Kentucky Derby points race, although not enough points to make a big difference. There are five starters in the one-mile race with all eyes on Life Is Good, who is the 2-5 favorite. He’s only run once, a 9 ½-length win in a maiden special at Del Mar. But he’s trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Mike Smith. That alone gets your attention with a 3-year-old. The second favorite, at 5-2, is Parnelli for John Shirreffs and Drayden Van Dyke. After three seconds, he won in his fourth attempt to break his maiden. This will be his fourth race at a mile and last out, he seemed to figured out how to extend at the finish. Shirreffs likes to bring his horses along slowly, so we likely haven’t seen his best. Post is close to 4:05 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 9, 6, 10, 6, 10, 10, 7, 5, 10.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
SIXTH RACE: No. 5 Potantico (8-1)
Potantico gets first time Umberto Rispoli on Saturday, who rode the favorite last out to a win but lands here at 8-1. Trainer Vladimir Cerin is 24% beaten favorite. This is a jockey riding value angle today in a wide-open race.
Friday’s result: Goalie, under a masterful ride from Flavien Prat, sat off the pace into the stretch and then found a seam on the outside to power home and win by a head bob on the line. Goalie was bet down to 4-1 and paid $10.60 for the win.

Big races preview
A look at thoroughbred graded stakes or races worth $100,000 or more on Saturday. All times PST.
12:50 Aqueduct (8): $100,000 Gravesend Stakes, 3 and up, 6 ½ furlongs. Favorite: Stan the Man (9-5)

3:35 Santa Anita (7): Grade 2 $200,000 San Gabriel Stakes, 4 and up, 1 1/8 miles on turf. Favorite: Count Again (2-1)
4:05 Santa Anita (8): Grade 3 $100,000 Sham Stakes, 3-year-olds, 1 mile. Favorite: Life Is Good (2-5)
Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
FIFTH RACE: No. 3 Favorite Five (9-2)
He is big bodied, well-bred and with solid connections, this colt does tend to have troubled trips, yet he has earned strong figures in each his last four efforts against quality opponents. He also raced in the Governor’s Cup Futurity last year - an effort that surely raises his status as a top contender in this event. In his most recent effort against trial rivals 41 nights ago, this runner got rather rambunctious in the gate prior to breaking slow and getting bumped back to lose multiple lengths at the gate opening. After the tough start, this entrant finished better than looked while running seventh under a hold late. The number earned in that event makes him my pick to hit the board at a medium mutuel price.

RUSTIC CANYON raced mid-pack early, went up inside a pair of rivals near the seven-sixteenths pole, tipped out at the top of the lane, bid outside the leader at the eighth pole, gained command and got caught in the closing moments. THREE AY EM trailed the field early and angled to the inside, angled out around the final turn, angled back inside in the stretch and finished well for a minor share.
