DOWN THE STRETCH

Saturday’s Grade I race at Santa Anita is a rematch for undefeated Cavalieri (Juan Hernandez riding) and frequent bridesmaid Alpha Bella (Hector Berrios), 1-2 finishers in the La Canada Stakes. But they face challenges from stretching-out Richi (Antonio Fresu) and out-of-state shippers Tarifa (Mike Smith) and Hoosier Philly (Umberto Rispoli). It’s a field of six fillies and mares for the B. Wayne Hughes Beholder Mile. The race was the 1 1/8-mile Vanity Handicap in its Hollywood Park days and was renamed for the late racehorse owner and his champion mare, but is casually known as the Beholder.

Santa Anita has added a racing card Monday, March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. The track lost three days during the fires in January and had made up two with additional Thursdays.

Kendrick Camouche has won the 2025 George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award in a nationwide vote by his fellow riders. The award, given by Santa Anita since 1950 and named for the Seabiscuit jockey who died in an accident at the Arcadia track in 1946, honors riders for on- and off-the-track distinction. The Louisiana-born Carmouche, 41, based in New York, had his most productive year in 2024 and began this week 22 wins from 4,000, a milestone reached by 68 North American jockeys.
