    Jeff Siegel's Five Takeaways - 8/10/21


    August 10, 2021
    From the Week concluding August 8, 2021
    By Jeff Siegel, handicapper and analyst


    1 - Some horses have a knack for winning photo finishes. When the result of a race remains in doubt approaching the shadow of the wire, they somehow manage to reach back for reserve energy that only the good ones can find, as opposed to a lesser horse that might simply buckle under pressure. I can relate to the latter; I ran track in high school and my coach told me I was the human equivalent of a maiden claimer. I said, “state bred or open?”

    Trainers often romanticize that top horses “know” where the wire is. Maybe they do know, but if so then they’re smarter than some jocks, who I’ve seen stand up at the sixteenth pole. We’ve all witnessed horses that hit the front and then appear to pull themselves up or lose focus and begin to coast, making the margin of victory much closer than it should have been.

    Then there’s Knicks Go. He’s apparently not interested in posing for any stinking photos. He wants to blow you out.
    The victory by the Brad Cox-trained horse in the Whitney S.-G1 at the Spa on Saturday was thoroughly predictable – the best horse with the easiest trip usually wins – as was his margin of domination, which in his case always has been of blowout proportions. The son of Paynter now has won eight races during his career with the following margins of victory beginning with his most recent: 4 1/2; 10 1/4; 2 3/4; 3 1/2; 10 1/4; 7 1/2; 3 1/2; and 5 1/2.

    One other thing about Knick’s Go. He’s never won a race in which he didn’t lead wire-to-wire. We’re not really sure if any older horse currently in training can defeat him even if able to get in front of him early, but we do believe this: Knick’s Go will continue to win if he’s on the lead from the start. And it won’t be in a photo.


    2 - Trainer Rudy Rodriguez said he was “pleasantly surprised” at the manner in which Bella Sofia dismantled a superior field of 3-year-old fillies in the 7F Test S.-G1 at Saratoga on Saturday. The bargain basement $20,000 OBS 2020 summer sale purchase registered a career top 101 Beyer speed figure in the four and one-half length victory while improving her record to three wins in four starts. In doing so, she became a legitimate candidate for year-end Eclipse Award consideration in the 3-year-old filly division and/or the filly and mare sprint category, though there is still much work to be done.
    But if Rudy had read this column last month he wouldn’t have been “surprised.” We certainly weren’t. Here’s what we wrote in this space following her allowance win at Belmont Park on July 11:

    “As impressive as any performance witnessed during the past week was the runaway romp by Bella Sofia in a first-level allowance sprint for 3-year-old fillies Sunday at Belmont Park. The margin of victory (six and one-half lengths) and the manner in which the win was accomplished (she easily disposed of a pace rival and then drew off with a ton left) surely stamps the daughter of Awesome Patriot as a legitimate threat to repeat on the raise when facing graded stakes company at Saratoga.

    Bella Sofia will get some time off to recover from what had to be a physically taxing, exhausting effort and probably won’t return until the fall. With her stalking/prompting style and the ability to re-break at the head of the lane, she has the perfect set of skills for the BC Filly & Mare Sprint, which like the Test S., is run at seven furlongs.


    3 - Maybe it’s not the most glamorous in thoroughbred racing but the long distance filly and turf division in North America has a new star, and shockingly she’s not from Europe and not trained by Chad Brown. Her name is War Like Goddess, purchased for $30,000 as a yearling at Keeneland and trained by Bill Mott. If you didn’t see her victory in the Glens Falls S.-G3 at Saratoga on Saturday, take the time watch what was a much more impressive than raw running lines would lead you to believe. Victorious now in five of six career starts, the daughter of English Channel came against slow fractions while being forced to rally widest of all yet was relentless through the lane, quickly and easily swallowing up her rivals with a turn off foot had to shade 23 seconds for the final quarter mile of the 12-furlong marathon trip.
    She didn’t bring much at auction, because as successful of a sire as English Channel has been, his progeny are generally late developers, are pretty much grass only, and tend to be on the smaller side. I’ve never owned one, but I’d love to. When does that Keeneland catalogue come out, anyway?

    The Europeans don’t always send their best for the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf – they’ve never really had to – but I’m not sure they have the luxury of bringing a second stringer this year. War Like Goddess earned a career top Beyer number of 99 in the Glens Falls, but even if accurate that only tells us what she did. It doesn’t tell us what she’s capable of.


    4 – Her World was supposed to debut in a maiden grass sprint for juvenile fillies at Saratoga July 29, but the race got washed off the turf, so trainer Wesley Ward, not willing to wait any longer to unleash his latest keg of dynamite, vanned her down to Monmouth Park for the Tyro Stakes over five furlongs on turf against the boys, who as it turned, clearly had no chance after the opening 20 yards of the race had unfolded. The Irish-bred daughter, from the first crop of the brilliant young Scat Daddy stallion and Irish champion Caravaggio, simply ran her rivals off their feet enroute to a six length score in :56.62. A compact filly blessed with extremely quick action and athleticism, she was a $400,000 Keeneland yearling purchase that apparently was originally – and prophetically – called Rocket Woman. Both names remain registered to her dam’s 2019 foal, according to The Jockey Club registry.

    Can’t say yet that she’s this year’s Golden Pal but the Ward barn has to be thinking Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint on the first weekend in November at Del Mar, where the short stretch provides the speed types with a major advantage.


    5 – On Labor Day weekend, Friday, Aug. 31, 2001 (three weeks shy of exactly 20 years as of this writing), I was in a hotel room in Birmingham, Alabama, having just flown in on the UCLA football team Delta Airlines charter for their opening game the following day in Tuscaloosa against Alabama. I was nervous, not about the game as I knew we’d beat them (and we did), but rather about the afternoon’s Spinaway S.-G1 at Saratoga. Team Valor’s filly Cashier’s Dream was supposed to win – she would go off at 30 cents on the dollar - but when you’re facing the bluebloods with a Michigan-bred, you don’t have the luxury of being overconfident.
    Barry (Irwin) and I had purchased her for our stable earlier that summer after her first two outings, both wins, in a maiden $50,000 claimer and an allowance race at Churchill Downs. At the time it seemed like we had more trainers than horses, but when we discussed who we should transfer her to, we decided to add a new one to the roster. “What about Steve Asmussen?” Barry asked. “Well, his brother (Cash) once rode a winner for us, so there’s that. Actually, I like him a lot,” I said of the young trainer who had saddled his first Grade-1 winner only two years before. I think he’s on his way to becoming somebody.”

    Cashier’s Dream won the Spinaway by a pole, and despite having her career tragically cut short due to illness, remains one of the best fillies we’ve ever owned. He didn’t train many for us, but Steve was one of the best horseman we ever employed, and though he had an early reputation of being difficult to deal with, that never was the case with us. Over the weekend he became the winningest trainer in North American thoroughbred history at 9,445 when he saddled Stellar Tap to a runaway debut maiden win at the Spa. With a little luck, he’ll reach 10,000 by the end of next year. Congrats!

    From the week concluding August 1, 2021
    By Jeff Siegel, Xpressbet.com handicapper and analyst


    1 - There were a trio of important sprint stakes races over the weekend, two of which were won by 3-year-olds, one of which scored high on the goose-bump scale. Jackie’s Warrior had been upset by Drain the Clock in the Woody Stephens S.-G1 in early June but in their rematch in the 6.5 furlong Amsterdam S.-G2 at Saratoga it was no contest as the son of Maclean’s Music ran his rival into the ground during a torrid early pace duel and then coasted home to register a more than seven length victory. The assigned Beyer speed figure of 101, while arguably accurate, doesn’t do Jackie’s Warrior justice considering the blistering early fractions that he dispensed, and the victory, albeit vs. 3-year-olds only and over a muddy track that may (or may not) have moved him up, stamps him as the leader in the national sprint division for at least until Life Is Good makes a reappearance.

    During the winter, Jackie’s Warrior was given one shot to gain passage on this year’s Derby trail, in the two-turn one mile Southwest Stakes-G3 at Oaklawn Park in February. He finished a well-beaten, fading third to Essential Quality, and that, thankfully, was the end of that. Since then he’s been allowed to concentrate on races that fit his profile in one-turn races up to a mile, winning the Pat Day Mile-G2 by a head and then missing by a neck in the Stephens before his Amsterdam success. Though his next start will be at seven furlongs in the H. Allen Jerkens S.-G1 Aug 28, It will be at the shorter six furlong trip of the Breeders’ Cup Sprint-G1 where we think he’ll truly be at his very best.


    2 - Dr. Schivel is the other 3-year-old to make noise in the sprint division, doing so on Saturday when beating older horses in the Bing Crosby S.-G1. But how strong of a race was it? More than half the field appeared to finish in a heap and the assigned Beyer speed figure of 90 will get you nothing but hot and dirty on Breeders’ Cup day.

    Successful in four of six career outings, the son of Violence did register a 97 Beyer in an overnight race at Santa Anita in his first start of the year in June, a respectable figure but not one that’s going to win the B.C. Sprint. Maybe he can do better. He’ll have to. The good news for Dr. Schivel is that he clearly loves the always quirky Del Mar main track (home to this year’s Breeders’ Cup), having won all three of his starts there including the 2020 Del Mar Futurity-G1.


    3 - Continuing with our theme of the impact of speed figures in the evaluation process, the first-time starting juvenile filly Magnolia really caught our eye on Saturday when graduating in a five furlong turf sprint at Del Mar. Off a bit slowly and then stymied behind the leaders while saving ground to the head of the lane, she displayed quick action and extreme athleticism to angle out for room in the upper stretch and then quickly reeled in the leader to win like a filly who is destined to be somebody down the road.

    Her Beyer speed figure of 70 was okay, not great, but the final furlong, officially clocked in :11.41 (she was at least a length back at this stage) under mild hand coaxing only may paint or more accurate picture. As a daughter of Frosted, she’s supposed to run on, so we’d think the listed Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf Sept. 5 will be next. Then, we’ll learn if the Simon Callaghan-trained filly is better than the fig says she is.


    4 - It was a little puzzling that the Monmouth Park stewards waited two weeks after the fact to announce that jockey Flavien Prat had been handed a seven day suspension for careless riding aboard the disqualified Hot Rod Charlie in the Haskell S.-G1. Prat was cited for “failing to make a reasonable effort to keep his horse from drifting in past the 1/8 pole, allowing his horse to cross in front of Midnight Bourbon, which resulted in Midnight Bourbon clipping heels with Hot Rod Charlie, causing Midnight Bourbon to stumble badly, unseating his rider.”

    The owners of the fallen colt surely would have collected at least third money of $100,000 had Prat maintained a straight course but instead received nothing but a bill for a standard jockey’s fee owed to their rider, Paco Lopez. Meanwhile, in what may be a case of being good to have friends in high places, Prat is allowed to serve his days beginning September 7 and ending Sept. 13, a time frame that conveniently begins one day after the rich Del Mar season closes and occurs during the first week of the Los Angeles County Fair meeting at Los Alamitos Racetrack. Not sure how many mounts Prat was expected to ride during the Fair meeting, but at the recently concluded two week summer session at Los Alamitos, he, according to the track’s website accepted exactly zero mounts.


    5 - I had the good fortune of covering the Preakness S.-G1 on site at Pimlico for HRTV for a dozen years, a significant journalistic experience to be sure, one that allowed me to be rooftop for one of the most thrilling horse races I’ve ever seen, the victory by the filly Rachel Alexandra over Derby winner Mine That Bird in 2009. Three years earlier, the undefeated Barbaro, who had captured the attention of the mainstream media as a likely Triple Crown winner following his runaway Kentucky Derby triumph, was expected to take his next step toward racing immortality that afternoon but tragically suffered what proved to be a catastrophic injury in the opening furlong of the race, and ultimately had to be put down several months later despite heroic attempts to save him.

    The winner of that Preakness wasn’t the story line, in fact almost all of our reporting centered on Barbaro’s dire post-race condition and his hastily assembled emergency transportation with escort to a nearby veterinary clinic. Through it all, we managed to occasionally drop into the discussion that a little known 12-1 longshot named Bernardini, trained by Tom Albertrani, actually had won the race

    We may not have realized it at the time, but Bernardini was a fabulous race horse an in retrospect may have won the Preakness under any circumstance. The Darley Stable (Godolphin)-owned colt would proceed to win the Jim Dandy S.-G1, the Travers S.-G1 and the Jockey Club Gold Cup-G1 (each victory under wraps) before going to the post in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at even money, a race that I’ll always believe he should have won. The victim of pilot error or perhaps overconfidence by jockey Javier Castellano, Bernardini was asked to move too soon while very wide into the teeth of a contested pace and eventually paid the price when worn down close home by Invasor, who won by a length and in doing so earned Horse of the Year honors.

    A resident of Jonabell Farm throughout his stud career, Bernardini was euthanized last Friday at age 18 due to laminitis. Though he never produced anything that was quite as accomplished as himself, the son of A. P. Indy was highly successful in his second career, siring at last count 80 stakes winners and the dams of 54 stakes winners. Those numbers will rise in seasons to come, and his influence in North American breeding will be felt for decades.

    Monday Myths: Who Gets the Credit for Saez's Saratoga Start?


    August 9, 2021 | By Jeremy Plonk
    Welcome to a continuing handicapping series for our Monday blog space, “Monday Myths.” Each week I’ll use the power of the Betmix database to take common handicapping assumptions and either support or dispel them with data. Betmix data powers the 1/ST BET app and its features like Angler and Birddog give data-minded horseplayers a treasure trove of information in which to query your own curiosities.

    Assumption:

    The hot start for Luis Saez at Saratoga is because he’s getting on the best mounts.

    Background:

    Horseplayers (and trainers) often will shrink the importance of riders and associate their success simply by who is the best passenger on the best horse. The winningest jockeys get the best mounts, or, the best mounts go to the jockeys atop the standings. It’s a self-fulfilling circle if you listen to the murmurs. Luis Saez’s 35 wins the first 4 weeks of the Spa meeting has him 7 in front of Jose Ortiz and 10 in front of Irad Ortiz, Jr. Let’s find out how he got here.

    Data Points:

    I dialed up the Betmix database to look at Saez’s mounts for the 2021 meet to date, comparing them to the other top-5 riders in the colony and also against his past Saratoga mounts in 2019 and 2020. The key metrics were win percentage, average odds per mount, favorites, $1 ROI for every $1 bet and longshots performance.

    //

    Luis Saez ranks atop all jockeys in win % at the Saratoga meet with 10 or more mounts at 22.3%.
    Other top-5 riders at the 2021 meet in terms of win %: Jose Ortiz (19.4%), Irad Ortiz Jr. (16.5%), Tyler Gaffalione (16.0%) and Joel Rosario (15.5%).

    //

    Luis Saez’s average odds per mount at the 2021 Saratoga meet has been 7.49-1.
    Other top-5 riders at the 2021 meet in terms average odds per mount: Irad Ortiz Jr. (4.38-1), Jose Ortiz (6.80-1), Joel Rosario (7.01-1) and Tyler Gaffalione (13.01-1).

    //

    Luis Saez ranks second among all jockeys in terms of favorites ridden at the Saratoga meet with 27.
    Other top-5 riders at the 2021 meet in terms of favorites ridden: Irad Ortiz Jr. (54), Jose Ortiz (23), Joel Rosario (20), Tyler Gaffalione (6).

    //

    Luis Saez (17%, 27 of 158) ranks third in terms of percentage of mounts who have been favored at the 2021 Saratoga meet (minimum 10 favorites ridden).
    Other top-5 riders at the 2021 meet in terms of percentage of mounts ridden who are favored: Irad Ortiz Jr. (36%, 54 of 152), Joel Rosario (18%, 20 of 110), Jose Ortiz (16%, 23 of 144) and Tyler Gaffalione (6.0%, 6 of 100).

    //

    Luis Saez (37%) ranks second in terms of win percent when riding the favorite at the 2021 Saratoga meet (minimum 10 favorites ridden).
    Other top-5 riders at the 2021 meet in terms of win percentage aboard favorites: Joel Rosario (45%), Tyler Gaffalione (33%), Jose Ortiz (30%) and Irad Ortiz Jr. (30%),

    //

    Luis Saez ranks first among all jockeys in terms of $1 ROI for every $1 bet at the Saratoga meet (minimum 50 mounts) at $1.10. He’s the only jockey in the profit in that category (Tyler Gaffalione has been break-even).
    Other top-5 riders at the 2021 meet in terms of $1 ROI for every $1 bet: Tyler Gaffalione ($1.00), Jose Ortiz ($0.97), Joel Rosario ($0.63) and Irad Ortiz Jr. ($0.55).

    //

    Luis Saez has 2 longshot winners of 10-1 or more at the 2021 Saratoga meet, which is tied for second-best behind Eric Cancel’s 3.
    Other top-5 riders at the 2021 meet in terms of longshot winners at 10-1 or more: Tyler Gaffalione (2), Joel Rosario (1). The Ortiz Brothers are a combined 0-38 with 10-1 or higher runners.

    //

    Luis Saez’s 2021 vs. 2020 vs. 2019 Saratoga win percentage: 22% | 18% |13%
    Luis Saez’s 2021 vs. 2020 vs. 2019 Saratoga average odds per mount: 7.5-1 | 8.3-1 |9.7-1
    Luis Saez’s 2021 vs. 2020 vs. 2019 Saratoga $1 ROI for every $1 bet: $1.10 | $1.01 | $0.67
    Luis Saez’s 2021 vs. 2020 vs. 2019 Saratoga percentage of mounts as favorites: 17% | 14% | 12%
    Luis Saez’s 2021 vs. 2020 vs. 2019 Saratoga win % when riding favorites: 37% | 22% | 36%

    Overall Findings:

    Irad Ortiz Jr. has ridden by a wide margin the most favorites and highest percentage of mounts as the favorite at the 2021 meet. But it’s Luis Saez doing best in terms of overall wins, win percent and ROI, while riding the second or third-best series of horses according to the metrics studied. When looking at Saez over the past 3 summers, his success has increased while he’s ridden more favorites and lower-priced runners. After a down year in 2020 aboard favorites, he’s making the most of his best mounts this summer so far.

    Bottom line:

    No doubt the stock for Saez has improved from 2019-2020 and now into 2021 based on the percentage of favorites ridden and the average price of all his mounts. But he’s still riding arguably the third-best stock at the meet, give or take, behind Irad Ortiz Jr., Jose Ortiz and arguably Joel Rosario. He’s doing the most with his chances, which are carrying more clout at the same time.

    Additional Details:

    You can go into Betmix and run your own queries for a deeper dive into this theory and any that you can create. For instance, which trainers has Saez had the most success with at Saratoga? Over the past 3 years, you’d be surprised to know it’s H. James Bond with 13 victories, 29% wins and a $1.42 ROI for every $1 bet.

    Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks


    Presque Isle Downs - Race #3
    Picks Notes
    #7 Side Action She might be a bit better going long, but she looks like a good fit and like a reasonable alternative to the chalk. Sharpened a bit for the cutback?
    #4 Keypit She's a likely short price here, but her two local tries have been solid when facing similar at this level. Still, a short price on a 16-start maiden is never very appealing.
    #3 Lynbrooke She'll add Lasix while racing around one turn for the first time in her career, and she has a little bit of upside while running with Lasix for the first time.
    Race Summary Side Action has generally been in with better groups, and she'll cut back around one turn at this level for the first time. Think her best stuff might get the job done.
    Presque Isle Downs - Race #6
    Picks Notes
    #6 Beyond Smart He ran a good one off the layoff last out, and he's a threat right back with these if he's able to hold that form in the second run off the break. Forward player gets a good race shape today.
    #5 Ault He has been a pretty reliable type on all-weather footing throughout his career, but he'll need to fire fresh off the layoff to land this. Get a look at him in the parade.
    #1 Red Cat The recent form isn't much to look at, but he has been facing better allowance company and might appreciate being in with this type of company. Dropper can do.
    Race Summary Beyond Smart has enough pace to be in the mix early from the high draw, and he earned this step up after a really nice comeback win to kick off his 10yo campaign.
    Presque Isle Downs - Race #7
    Picks Notes
    #1 Tula Worth a price look from the inside in a race where most of them seem content to settle just a bit off the pace. Hoping he gets an aggressive ride early to establish position while dropping in with claiming company.
    #5 Our Closure She has been in with better company than she's going to find here, and she has won half of her eight local starts. Capable, but she's probably an underlay.
    #7 Dance the Day Away She has some finishing ability and has run very well in all three lifetime starts over the local footing. Look for her late, but she seems more likely underneath.
    Race Summary Tula has enough pace to find the front if they want to go, and that might be a move that pays off at a price. Third start off the break produces something better?

    Frank Carulli's Daily Picks


    Pocono Downs - Race #1
    Picks Notes
    #3 JACKAMINO Field's top earner this year should sit ideal trip in second start after missing a week.
    #2 HORSE Led at the stretch call in his last two starts at Harrah's Philadelphia.
    #8 HOW ARE YEE JOHN Chased longshot winner around the track after 2-to-5 fave broke stride.
    Race Summary Jackamino made a middle move to within a head of the lead against better at Yonkers before the favorites passed by. He projects a good trip in here and could sustain the same type of rally for a victory. Play a 3-ALL exacta.
    Yonkers - Race #5
    Picks Notes
    #1 UNCONTROLLABLE Gapped cover on turn, re-rallied 3-wide for second, can handle class hike.
    #4 ANDRES HANOVER Just won under same conditions, doesn't shy from photo-finish camera.
    #6 FULL MOON BEACH Carried speed to five wins in 10 starts out of town this year.
    Race Summary Uncontrollable, outrun until the backstretch, gapped cover on the final turn but found his best stride in mid-stretch. He got up to finish a clear second to pace-setting repeater Deal The Cards, who faces more pressure tonight.
    Woodbine-Mohawk Park - Race #5
    Picks Notes
    #2 COOL ROCK War horse closed full of run for second, seeks 43rd win off the re-claim.
    #9 MACH IMPACT Continues to make an impact from difficult starting spots.
    #8 JULERICA Won from on and off the pace at this level, seeks three-peat.
    Race Summary Cool Rock steps up off the re-claim for a 19-percent barn. He came out from fifth on the final turn last week and gobbled up ground in the final sixteenth to finish second. The 13-year-old is worth a win and place bet at 6-1 on the morning line in his 300th start.

    Indiana Grand - Race #2
    Picks Notes
    #1 Compressed Energy Gave it a shot in the Debutante at Churchill Downs and finished far back, but in her only other start, she led from starter to finish going five furlongs at Indiana Grand. Returns to Indiana-breds and gets a good run along the rail.
    #2 Everything's Rosy Pretty short on the morning line after an easy win in her only start; can probably be effective from wherever her jockey sees fit.
    #6 Chelsea's Strength Cruised to an easy win last out after running third in her debut; continued improvement can make her a tough customer.
    Race Summary Compressed Energy was in over her head at Churchill and can get back to good form in her return home.
    Indiana Grand - Race #7
    Picks Notes
    #3 Hungarian Princess Gave a good effort last out in her first turf attempt, finishing third; gets a better post this time and can improve as she gets used to the grass.
    #2 Shy Money Has won three straight and moves over for her first attempt on the grass; early speed makes her dangerous.
    #4 Shi O' Shi Was never threatened here last time out and hasn't been on the turf since Fair Grounds; was third in a turf maiden race at Churchill when she was two.
    Race Summary Hungarian Princess can improve on her only turf start and can stalk a fast pace.
    Indiana Grand - Race #9
    Picks Notes
    #1 Revs Run Followed a slow pace from the outside and had not kick in a fourth-place finish; gets a better post, can save ground, and could go for the lead. Can improve here.
    #7 Stormy Wager Got the lead from an outside post and held on for second last out; was second in three of her last four.
    #10 Lush Be a Lady Moves over to the turf after her best lifetime performance and steps up from maiden claiming; could pull the upset if the speed horses falter.
    Race Summary Revs Run finished fourth in a slow pace and could get a much better run here; expect a top effort.

    Event: (983) Milwaukee Brewers at (984) Chicago Cubs
    Sport/League: MLB

    Date/Time: August 10, 2021 2PM EDT
    Play: Milwaukee Brewers -1.0 (-118) Action
    The Cubs have given up on the season and their lineup looks like a AAA roster. Peralta has been great at home and on the road and the Cubs in his career hit only .177 against him. The Cubs start Steele who is a relief pitcher who has not pitched past the 2nd inning all season, followed by the 22nd ranked bullpen. The Brewers hit pretty well vs LHP so take the Brewers to win this one on the alt -1 spread. These are very nice odds.
