Racing! Horse racing newsletter successfully lasts one week

Share via

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we finish the first week of this puppy.

Santa Anita continued to hold the odds of post 1 hostage because the infield videoboard is blacked out in that area. We first reported it after Saturday’s races and believed with complete confidence that Santa Anita would have it fixed by Sunday. We were wrong.

You know when they do that wavy flag thing during the national anthem? Well, now you can’t see some of the stars. It’s like we’re 13 colonies again.

In an effort to be helpful, I’m enclosing a link to this Youtube video that is an LCD TV repair tutorial. Hope it helps. Tim, Keith and Joe, no need to send any thanks my way, just doing my part.

What’s up TVG?

While sitting on my couch watching the endless stream of fix-the-prostate ads on TVG, I thought it might be a good idea to do a regular, or maybe only intermittent, look at how the experts are doing trying to entice you to place money in their betting service.

I know, whatever day I pick they are going to do poorly and it’s the other days when they nail it. Well, if we only knew those days in advance there would be a lot of rich horse players out there.

Most of the folks at TVG are really nice, except for the one guy who thinks he’s funny but is nothing more than annoying. Just to be clear, I’m not talking about Mike Joyce, who I actually think is funny in a subtle and smart way.

Sunday wasn’t such a good day for the prognosticators. Only Dawn Lupol cashed a ticket, and that was a $15 daily double at Woodbine. So here’s how they did:

--Andrew Demsky lost $9 at Presque Isle Downs.

--Lupol lost $11 at Woodbine.

--Jeff Brett lost $21.60 at Woodbine.

--Brad Free lost $28.80 at Churchill Downs.

--Ron Ellis lost $36 at Santa Anita.

--Matt Caruthers lost $70.50 at Belmont and Gulfstream

--Dave Weaver lost $79 at Belmont and Santa Anita.

Sunday at Santa Anita

If Sunday’s pick five at Santa Anita were a gymnastics meet it would be canceled because of lack of chalk. Here are the win prices on the first five races: $34.40, $21, $15, $71, $34.80. There was one winning ticket for $702,515.

The featured race on Sunday was the $200,000 Grade 2 John Henry Turf Invitational over 1¼ miles. Itsinthepost just got up at the end to beat a very game Prime Attraction. The official margin was a head but looked more like a nose to the naked eye.

Prime Attraction held the lead for most of the race until Itsinthepost, caught in some traffic, was able to angle off the rail and split the leader and Frank Conversation for the win. Itsinthepost paid $5.20 to win. (You can watch the race here.)

“[Trainer] Jeff [Mullins] and I talked about this race, and it came up pretty much the way we thought,†jockey Tyler Baze said. “He laid pretty close today, and he still had a really good kick.â€

Prime Attraction jockey Victor Espinoza thinks he had an explanation for the outcome. “He switched to the wrong lead in the last 20 yards, and I think that cost him the race.â€
