This week marks the second installment of a new series on America’s Best Racing, the Beginner’s Bet of the Week, sponsored by NYRA Bets. Each week, this blog will explore a new type of bet by explaining exactly what it is, how best to use that bet, and by putting the wager into practice in a race.
Month: September 2021
Australia: Anamoe Out To Prove Himself In Million-Dollar Golden Rose
Golden Rose Preview – Rosehill: The 8th is the Golden Rose, a G1 million-dollar race for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs. Rosehill will host its first race day since July 24, having been in an area of Sydney that was under strict lockdown. Gerald Ryan, one of the leading trainers based at Rosehill, is glowing in his praise of the surface. A combination of rest and early-Spring weather will provide a luxurious carpet.
Star Colt: #1 Anamoe (4-5 favorite) was Australia's best 2-year-old last season, finishing an unlucky second from a horror post position in the world's richest juvenile race, the Golden Slipper. His 2-year-old campaign culminated in a smashing G1 victory at his only seven-furlongs start. In Anamoe's seasonal debut two weeks ago, the son of Street Boss contested the Golden Rose's traditional prep race, the Run to the Rose (watch replay). The Godolphin colt gave weight and a beating to many of Friday night's rivals, whom he will meet at level weights this time. Anamoe's dam was a G1 winner in Australia who finished third in the 2007 American Oaks at Hollywood Park.
China Opposition: “Godolphin blue” might be the most globally ubiquitous silks in horse racing, but the Chinese flag is on the rise courtesy of the China Horse Club. Justify carried their red and yellow colors across the Belmont finish line in his Triple Crown triumph, and the same silks will be carried by four of Anamoe's twelve opponents. Chief among them are #2 Artorius (8-1), who has defeated Anamoe and likes seven furlongs; and #5 In The Congo (9-1), who is a game, consistent front-runner but is suspect at the distance.
Untapped Potential: #7 Remarque (7-1) is a full brother to 2018 Golden Slipper winner Estijaab. Remarque was also considered “Slipper-worthy,” but illness sidelined him. The lightly raced colt was beaten by Anamoe in the Run to the Rose, but remains on the radar of slot holders for The Everest who have not secured a runner.
A Pair of Fillies: #12 Jamaea (14-1) was similar odds when upsetting a G2 race for fillies at six furlongs; will relish the extra distance. Owners of #13 Startantes (17-1) paid a $37,500 late entry (supplemental) fee for their filly, who invades from the northern state of Queensland.
Selections: #1 Anamoe, #7 Remarque, #2 Artorius
Supporting Stakes: The card boasts four other Group races and a Listed race. The 7th is the G2 Golden Pendant for fillies and mares at seven furlongs. #2 Entriviere (7-5) just turned five but has run only eight times, winning six for New Zealand's preeminent trainer, Jamie Richards. The 5th is a Listed race for 3-year-olds at 5-1/2 furlongs. The Chris Waller-trained #2 Home Affairs (5-2) and Godolphin's #3 Paulele (2-1) are candidates for The Everest. The world's richest race on turf is only three weeks away, on October 15.
Hot Jock: Nash Rawiller rode four winners last Friday night at Randwick, and has mounts in eight of this week's ten races. Best fancied are Race 5 #2 Home Affairs (see above paragraph) and Race 10 #2 Ellsberg (5-2), for the aforementioned Rosehill-based Gerald Ryan.
The Rosehill card will be broadcast live on TVG this Friday night (First Post: 9:55pm ET / 6:55pm PT) alongside cards from Toowoomba, Gold Coast and Goulburn. All races will be live-streamed in HD on the new Sky Racing World App, skyracingworld.com and major ADW platforms such as TVG, TwinSpires, Xpressbet, NYRABets, WatchandWager, HPIbet, DRF Bets and AmWager. Wagering is also available via these ADW platforms. Fans can get free access to live-streaming, past performances and expert picks on all races at skyracingworld.com.

Cross Country Pick 5 Features Action From Belmont, Churchill, Parx
The New York Racing Association Inc. (NYRA) will host an all-stakes Cross Country Pick 5 on Saturday featuring action from Belmont Park, Churchill Downs and Parx.
Free Equibase past performances for the Cross Country Pick 5 sequence are now available for download at https://www.nyra.com/belmont/racing/cross-country-wagers.
Saturday's Cross Country Pick 5 kicks off with the Grade 2 Gallant Bob [Race 10, 4:22 p.m. Eastern], the first of a trio of graded events from Parx in the sequence. Multiple Grade 1-winner Jackie's Warrior, last-out winner of the Grade 1 H. Allen Jerkens Memorial for Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, is listed as the 4-5 morning-line favorite in the six-furlong sprint for sophomores. Track specialist Beren, a four-time winner at Parx, will look to spring the upset for trainer Butch Reid, Jr.
In the second leg, Stonestreet Stables' homebred Clairiere will look to secure a first Grade 1 win when exiting post 6 under Ricardo Santana, Jr. in the $1 million Cotillion [Race 11, 5:01 p.m.], a 1 1/16-mile test for sophomore fillies. The Curlin bay, trained by Asmussen, enters from a runner-up effort to Kentucky Oaks-winner Malathaat in the 10-furlong Grade 1 Alabama at the Spa.
Maracuja will be reunited with Kendrick Carmouche, who guided the Honor Code gray to a third-out maiden win in February at Aqueduct. The Rob Atras trainee captured the Grade 1 CCA Oaks in July with Santana, Jr. up in place of the injured Carmouche and enters from an off-the-board effort in the Alabama. Always Carina, runner-up in the 1 1/16-mile Grade 2 Mother Goose two starts back at Belmont, stretches out from a fourth-place finish in the seven-furlong Grade 1 Longines Test in August at the Spa for trainer Chad Brown.
Action switches to Churchill Downs for the middle leg of the sequence as a field of 10 sophomores sprint seven furlongs in the Harrods Creek [Race 10, 5:26 p.m.] led by Clearview Stable's stakes-placed Irish Unity. Trained by Asmussen, the Pioneerof the Nile gelding is out of the multiple graded-stakes winning Dixie Union mare Justwhistledixie making him a half-sibling to graded-stakes winners Enforceable, Kingly, Mohaymen and New Year's Day. Multiple stakes-placed Dreamer's Disease and speedy shipper Emerald Forest are among a number of contenders in a wide-open affair.
Hot Rod Charlie, the runner-up in the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets, is the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the penultimate leg – the nine-furlong Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby [Race 12, 5:49 p.m.] at Parx. Trained by Doug O'Neill, the Oxbow colt was a game third in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby in May at Churchill Downs and last out crossed the wire first in the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park but was disqualified and placed seventh after drifting in front of Midnight Bourbon, who clipped heels and fell.
Midnight Bourbon exited the Haskell to finish second in the Grade 1 Runhappy Travers last out and will provide steep opposition under returning pilot Santana, Jr. Godolphin homebred Speaker's Corner, a bay son of Street Sense trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, steps into stakes company for the first time off a sharp allowance score against older company in August at the Spa. Graded-stakes winners Fulsome, Weyburn, Keepmeinmind, and Bourbonic add depth to a loaded field.
The sequence concludes with the Grade 3, $200,000 Athenia [Race 10, 5:58 p.m.], a nine-furlong inner turf test for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up at Belmont Park. Four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown will send out Group 3-winner Pocket Square and stakes-placed Miss Teheran in a compact field of five that includes the well-related Lake Lucerne, a bay daughter of Dubawi out of the multiple Grade 1-winning Awesome Again mare Round Pond.
The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Wagering on the Cross Country Pick 5 is also available on ADW platforms and at simulcast facilities across the country. Every week will feature a mandatory payout of the net pool.
The Cross Country Pick 5 will continue each Saturday throughout the year. For more information, visit NYRABets.com.
