Racing! Country House remains Kentucky Derby winner

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as Bob Baffert has another good 2-year-old.

The big news of the weekend is that a federal judge in Kentucky dismissed the lawsuit that would have restored Maximum Security as the winner of the Kentucky Derby. The ruling came Friday afternoon and the 25-page opinion pretty much didn’t buy the arguments made by Gary and Mary West’s attorneys.

Maximum Security was the first horse in 145 years to be disqualified on race day after seemingly winning the Kentucky Derby. Country House was made the winner after the disqualification giving Flavien Prat his first Kentucky Derby win. Country House hasn’t raced the rest of the year. His owners say he will race as a 4-year-old. We’ll see.

As for Maximum Security, we may see him in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct on Dec. 7, the same day as the Los Alamitos Futurity. Don’t know why being on the same date actually matters. After that he may go to the Pegasus at Gulfstream and eventually wander across the pond for the Saudi Cup.

Interesting thing is the p.r. firm that was handling this for the Wests sent out releases all along the way until the ruling. I didn’t seem to get anything about the decision.

Del Mar review

At the top of the newsletter Gary and Mary West lost a court battle, but on Saturday they won a race when High Velocity won the Grade 3 $100,000 Bob Hope Stakes for 2-year-olds going seven furlongs. A couple of scratches turned the race into a four-horse race and after the break it became a two-horse race between High Velocity and Strongconstitution.

It was a fight until mid-stretch when High Velocity drew out and won by 1 ¼ lengths. High Velocity paid $4.00 and $2.10 and Strongconstitution paid $2.10 to place.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

Bob Baffert (winning trainer): “He handled everything well for his second out. It’s always a tough test after you break a maiden and he didn’t have a lot of time between races. But the way he worked we thought he would run well. I liked the way that when that other horse (Strongconstitution) came to him he dug in and took off again. And that’s a nice horse that ran second.”

Drayden Van Dyke (winning jockey): “I was loaded all the way. He’s a fast horse, I knew that. I broke him out of the gate the other morning. I got away with some pretty easy fractions here, so I was feeling good about that. I told Bob that he was just hitting his best stride as we went past the wire. He’s a nice one.”

Del Mar preview

Del Mar comes back with its second $100,000 stakes this weekend on Sunday’s eight-race program beginning at 12:30 p.m. Half of the races are on the turf and there are three races for 2-year-olds.

The stakes is named after Betty Grable and it’s for Cal-bred fillies and mares going seven furlongs. It’s a six-horse field. The favorite, at 5-2, is Mo See Cal for trainer Peter Miller and jockey Abel Cedillo. She finished sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, which is pretty rarified air. She is fiveof-17 lifetime running mostly on the allowance level.

The second favorite is Queen Bee to You at 3-1. She’s trained by Andrew Lerner and picks up Prat in the saddle. Her last win came in the Bertrando Stakes at Los Alamitos. She is five-of-30 lifetime and most recently has been running on the stakes level. Post time is around 3:30 p.m.

Here are the field sizes, in order: 7, 8, 7, 5, 7, 9, 6, 10 (1 also eligible).

Bob Ike’s Dmr pick of the day

SIXTH RACE: No. 6 Madame Bourbon (5-2)

New face from the Mark Glatt barn was last seen running a good second in a small stakes at Gulfstream Park, finishing well clear of the third horse but no match for the odds-on winner, who was taking her third straight. Joins a good barn, gets the best turf rider and should get a realistic pace in front of her, so “single” in the rolling exotics.

Saturday’s result: Moonlight Drive sat in a good spot behind the leader, had dead aim turning for home but lacked the needed punch and was all out to hold third.

Ed Burgart’s LA pick of the day

FIRST RACE: No. 3 Sheza Kathy (3-1)

She got hooked up in a speed duel to the 1/8-pole before fading to fourth in last start when facing stretch-running winner who was dropping down from a $5,000 claimer. Now, she drops a class notch and catches a relatively paceless field. Making her second start for trainer Sergio Morfin, who is clicking at a 22 percent win clip, this filly is expected to make a clear early lead.
