Horse racing newsletter: Uncle Chuck moves into Derby picture
- Share via
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter, as we finish the official holiday with some great racing. As for today, not so much.
There’s not much for me to say outside of the obvious. The big race of the day was the Grade 1 $500,000 Metropolitan Handicap, otherwise known as the Met Mile. There were high hopes for the locally based McKinzie, but he didn’t have the kick and finished a better-than-looked fifth.
Vekoma was the winner by 1 ¼ lengths at Belmont Park.
“I was happy with our trip around the backside,” trainer George Weaver told NYRA media relations. “I knew we had natural speed, and no one really went with us, so I was happy with the fact that he was there. At the quarter pole, it seemed like all comers were coming and I thought, ‘Man, does he have anything left in the tank or not?’ When they got to the eighth pole and I saw him rebreak and keep going, I got excited. It was fun.”
OK, let’s get on to the rest.

Los Alamitos daytime review
This was the biggest day of the seven-day Los Alamitos meeting. Two major stakes races. Take a look.
Grade 3 $150,000 Los Alamitos Derby: It was only four horses but Uncle Chuck put himself squarely in the Kentucky Derby picture with an effortless win in the 1 1/8-mile race. It won’t be enough to get Uncle Chuck into the Kentucky Derby, so he’ll have to do well in an upcoming prep, maybe the Haskell at Monmouth, but that is nothing more than a guess.
There were only four horses in the race after Anneau d’Or scratched because of an elevated temperature. Uncle Chuck paid $2.80 to win. Thousand Words was second followed by Cosmo and Great Power. It was trainer Bob Baffert’s fourth straight win in this race.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Bob Baffert (winning trainer): “That was good. At the top of the lane, I thought [runner-up] Thousand Words might get him, but at least he ran better. We’re just learning more about Uncle Chuck. He’s still pretty green, but he’s got gears. [Jockey] Luis [Saez] was excited about him and I think he’s one of the top riders in the country. He said [Uncle Chuck] is still learning and he’s got a lot of improvement in him. He was full of himself when he came back. It’s exciting. He’s learning quickly and he has brilliance. I was impressed. I think we just saw something pretty special and he’s been special from day one. He’s bred to be any kind.’’
Luis Saez (winning jockey): “He broke great and I just left him alone. He was doing it easy all the way. When I showed him the whip he took off. He’s a very nice colt.’’
Grade 2 $201,000 Great Lady M Stakes: This was supposed to be a stroll in the park for Bellafina but she didn’t fire early enough to win this 6 ½-furlong race, allowing Sneaking Out to sneak out a three-quarter length win.
Sneaking Out paid $16.40 and $4.40. There was no show wagering. Bellafina was second, followed by Amuse, Artistic Diva, Hang a Star, Zushaand Donut Girl.
Here’s what the winning connections had to say.
Jerry Hollendorfer (winning trainer): “That was nice. She was laying outside and she got a little breather around the turn and when he asked her to go she had a lot left. She finished up really well. I thought she could be the speed if she wanted, but we learned at Oaklawn Park that she didn’t have to have the lead. She ran a huge race there (April 25) where she got passed, then came back on and won the race.’’
Martin Garcia (winning jockey): “We were able to sit in the exact spot I wanted early, just behind the speed, and she felt strong. I made sure we stayed in our lane into the stretch. She dug in and wouldn’t let them by.’’
Los Alamitos daytime preview
You know when you put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and pull it out and eat your way to the bottom and what’s left are lots of remnants and unpopped kernels? Well, that’s kind of what Los Alamitos’ closing day card feels like. I know that sounds mean, but six of the eight races are 5 ½ furlongs or shorter and six of them have purses of $15,000 or less. First post is 1 p.m.
Tradition dictates that I pick a feature,and we’ll make it the seventh, a 5 ½-furlong maiden special for Cal-bred fillies and mares running for $40,000. Elgofranco is the 5-2 favorite for trainer Ben Cecil and jockey Mario Gutierrez, which of course means it’s a Paul and Zillah Reddam horse. She is winless in six starts and coming of a fourth last out at Santa Anita.
Second favorite, at 3-1, is Eddie’s Sister for Phil D’Amato and Abel Cedillo. He was fifth in his only start a Del Mar on Nov. 17.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 7, 6, 7, 6, 5, 9, 10.
Ciaran Thornton’s Lrc pick of the day
RACE SEVEN: No. 1 Empress of Fire (6-1)
Flavien Prat, at Los Alamitos on a 6-1 morning line debut horse: I’ll take that price anytime, especially when Prat is riding for trainer Peter Eurton. They are 88% in the money together. Dam has four winners from four starters. Could be a prep for Del Mar, but the 6-1 value, if we get it, is great. I will be looking to do a Prat daily double with his Peter Miller horse Seaside Dancer in the sixth race.

Saturday’s result: Encountress didn’t show up and finished sixth in the seven-horse race.

Simulcast at Los Alamitos on hold
Los Alamitos Race Course will remain closed to the public during daytime simulcasting hours due to the most recent developments with the COVID-19 pandemic. Live night quarter horse and thoroughbred racing will continue to be held with no spectators. There is no new date for reopening for simulcasting. Last week, the track had announced it would be open for daytime simulcasting starting on Monday, July 6.
Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
RACE FIVE: No. 4 Kenny Wayne (6-1)
He was “better than looked” for fifth in his career debut 15 nights ago after prepping well with a B- drill. In his debut outing, the gelding broke a tad slow and was slightly crossed by a quicker runner to his inside losing some ground and some early racing momentum. He finished well and under a slight hold when placed in close quarters nearing the wire. He should be a player for all the board placings with the expected improvement after having some racing experience under his belt.
