Trappe Shot Colt Shoots and Scores in WAYI Speakeasy

Chicago-based invader One Timer took to the turf Friday to skate into the GII Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar with a guaranteed spot in the starting line-up. A 12 1/2-length debut romper at Arlington back in June over recent GIII Iroquois S. runner-up Tough to Tame (Speightster) and another future stakes performer, the bay paired up 80 Beyer Speed Figures when annexing Woodbine's Victoria S. July 31. He was scratched as a would-be heavy favorite from the Aug. 28 Arlington-Washington Futurity won by stablemate Nobals (Noble Mission {GB}), having shown no published works since before the Victoria, but breezed three times in September over the Arlington all-weather and soon proved he was ready to roll.

One Timer was hustled along between horses by ET Baird to knock heads with favored Forbidden Kingdom. He began to get away from that rival after a :21.01 opening quarter, and looked to be in complete control approaching the straight as Forbidden Kingdom struggled to corner. Time to Party got going and made a race of it late, but One Timer had already built up an insurmountable advantage and glided under the line a comfy winner.

“First of all I want to say the reason that he's name that is because [trainer] Larry [Rivelli]'s son is an excellent hockey player,” said Baird. “He's a hot prospect right now and that's where his name comes from.”

Rivelli's son Dominick plays right wing for the Green Bay Gamblers, a junior team in the competitive USHL, and has committed to Miami of Ohio.

“He broke well, I had to ask him out of there, but he's pretty professional outside of the post parade,” Baird said of One Timer. “He just kept running true. I think he took to the [turf] great. We worked him one time in Chicago [back in July] over the grass and I happened to work another horse, an older horse on the same morning, and the older horse ended up winning a stake after that work, against older horses, but he didn't work that well over it, and this horse worked excellent over it. It pretty much hasn't changed–he just likes to go. I mean, he's competitive, he loves to run.”

The winner is a grandson of GSW grasser La Gran Bailadora (Afleet Alex), who produced 2019 GI Belmont S. winner Sir Winston (Awesome Again). He has a yearling half-brother by Tapwrit and a foal half-sister by Arrogate. Spanish Star, who sold for $275,000 to Crestwood Farm at last year's Keeneland November sale, visited Twirling Candy for 2022.

Into Mischief Filly Makes It Look Easy In Chandelier Stakes; Juvenile Fillies Next Stop

With favored Grace Adler in deep water around the far turn, trainer Phil D'Amato's Ain't Easy was running comfortably on the lead and was never threatened en route to a 4 ¾-length score in the Grade 2, $200,000 Chandelier Stakes at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif. Ridden by Joel Rosario, Ain't Easy got a mile and one sixteenth in 1:45.20.

A Breeders' Cup “Win & You're In” Challenge Race qualifier, Ain't Easy will get a fees-paid berth into the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 5 at Del Mar.

Breaking sharply from post position two, Ain't Easy was a bit keen around the Club House turn as she tucked in a close third behind pacesetter Electric Ride, who she overtook by a half length at the three-furlong marker. Leading by about four lengths at the three sixteenths pole, Ain't Easy won geared down in a most impressive effort.

A first out maiden winner going 5 ½ furlongs with Rosario Aug. 21 at Del Mar, Ain't Easy, a daughter of Into Mischief, was off 7-2 and paid $9.00, $4.00 and $3.20.

Owned by Old Bones Racing Stable, LLC, Michael Lombardi and Joey Platts, Ain't Easy, who is out of the Australian-bred mare Ameristralia, picked up $120,000 for the win and now has earnings of $162,000.

“She acted very professional, sitting behind horses,” said D'Amato. “'When Joel (Rosario) wanted to, she came up the inside, which I like to see with a young horse. She just looked like she was having fun in the stretch. I think it set up perfect. A good two-turn experience, confidence booster, an easy win, where it didn't look like she was taxed too much, so I like everything I saw right now.

Ain't Easy was bred in Kentucky by Spendthrift Farm and sold for $400,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

Electric Ride, off at 6-1 with Joe Bravo, finished 2 ¼ lengths in front of Desert Dawn and paid $7.00 and $4.80.

Off at 31-1 with Ricky Gonzalez, Desert Dawn paid $7.60 to show.

Grace Adler, off at 4-5, finished a well beaten fifth.

Fractions on the race were 23.56, 47.99, 1:12.16 and 1:37.98.

Rivelli-Trained One Timer Earns Way Into Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

Chicago invader One Timer established control going into the far turn and proved best in Friday's $100,000 Speakeasy Stakes at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif. The Speakeasy is a Breeders' Cup “Win & You're In” Challenge Race qualifier that provides the winner a fees-paid berth into the Grade 2 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint Nov. 5 at Del Mar.

Unbeaten in two previous starts over synthetic surfaces, and now unbeaten in three starts, One Timer, a 2-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding by Trappe Shot, was handled by Chicago-based veteran E.T. Baird, who guided him to a five-furlong turf win in 55.45. Trained by Larry Rivelli, One Timer was head and head to the three-furlong pole with race favorite Forbidden Kingdom. With a 1 ½-length advantage turning for home, One Timer prevailed by three quarters of a length over a fast finishing Time to Party and remained well in front on the gallop out around the Club House turn.

One Timer was bred in Kentucky by St Simon Place LLC and sold for $21,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearling Sale.

“He broke well, I had to ask him out of there, but he's pretty professional outside of the post parade,” said Baird. “He just kept running true. I think he took to the (turf) great. We worked him one time in Chicago (at Arlington Park) over the grass and I happened to work another horse, an older horse on same morning and the older horse ended up winning (a) stake after that work…I mean, he's competitive, he loves to run.”

The second choice at 9-5 in a field of six juveniles, One Timer paid $5.80, $4.00 and $2.40.

Owned by Patricia's Hope, LLC and Richard Ravin, One Timer, who is out of the Blame mare Spanish Star, picked up $60,000 for the win, increasing his earnings to $138,153.

Ridden by Flavien Prat, Time to Party rallied well to be second, finishing 2 ½ lengths in front of Forbidden Kingdom. Off at 6-1, he paid $5.80 and $3.00.

The actual favorite at 9-5 with Juan Hernandez up, Forbidden King tired to finish third and returned $2.40 to show while 1 ½ lengths clear of Miss Alacrity.

Fractions on the race were 21.01 and 43.48.

Grade 1 Winner Ce Ce May Hold Class Edge In Chillingworth Stakes

Two-time Grade 1 winner Ce Ce returns to Santa Anita and heads Sunday's Grade 3, $100,000 Chillingworth Stakes as a field of six fillies and mares three and up go 6 ½ furlongs. The Chllingworth is named for the late Sherwood C. Chillingworth, a highly respected longtime director and Executive Vice President of the Oak Tree Racing Association, which conducted a fall meeting at Santa Anita from 1969 through 2009.

Owned and bred by Bo Hirsch, Ce Ce is trained by Michael McCarthy and comes off a third place finish behind superstar Gamine in the Grade 1, seven furlong Ballerina Handicap at Saratoga on Aug. 28. A 5-year-old mare by Elusive Quality out of the Grade 1 winning Miss Houdini, Cee Ce drew off to a 3 ¼ length win going seven furlongs two starts back in the Grade 2 Princess Ray Stakes at Gulfstream Park July 3.

A winner of four of seven starts at Santa Anita, including a Grade 1 tally in last year's Beholder Mile, Ce Ce, who will again be ridden by Victor Espinoza, should appreciate a return to the home front and softer company. With six wins from 14 overall starts, she has earnings of $1,173,100.

Second, beaten one length in the Grade 3 Rancho Bernardo Handicap going 6 ½ furlongs on Aug. 20 at Del Mar, Peter Miller's Proud Emma appears well spotted in what will be her third consecutive sprint. Owned Gem Inc. and Tom Kagele, this 5-year-old mare by Include seeks her second graded stakes victory.

Kaleem Shah's California-bred Bella Vita, who earned a career-best 96 Beyer Speed Figure in taking a 6 ½ furlong allowance in open company by 4 ½ lengths on Aug. 29, draws the far outside with Juan Hernandez up and rates a big look for trainer Simon Callaghan.
