D’Amato Sets Single-Season Win Record With 57th Santa Anita Score

A dominant force throughout Santa Anita's Winter/Spring Meet dating back to opening day of the Arcadia, Calif., track on Dec. 26, trainer Phil D'Amato won his record 57th race on day 74 Friday as his Carpe Vinum rallied for a 2 ¼-length victory in the day's $72,000 allowance feature. Ridden for the first time by Ramon Vazquez, Carpe Vinum got one mile on turf in 1:34.55.

D'Amato moved into a single season tie with Doug O'Neill earlier in the day as Ma France took Friday's first race, giving D'Amato 56 on the season which equaled O'Neill's mark established in 2006-07.

“It's a great feeling,” said D'Amato, who also leads all trainers in stakes wins heading into closing weekend with 15 added money tallies. “I wasn't expecting it or counting the wins, but it's just a testament to all my people. A total team effort. From my assistants, exercise riders and grooms on down. And most importantly, my owners and the kinds of horses they're giving me to be able to do this.”

As for Carpe Vinum, she was taken in-hand out of the gate and sat fifth at the rail in behind a quick early pace to the far turn and was about five off longshot leader Super Game as the field headed up the backside.

Heading into the far turn, Vazquez angled out as the leaders came back to him, stepped on the gas a quarter mile out and wheeled three-deep turning for home while in full flight as she went on to overhaul Freedom Flyer in the final sixteenth of a mile.

“She had a nice set-up today,” said D'Amato. “Ramon got her to the outside where she likes to be. She's just a very steady going filly. We've been slowly inching forward with her and hopefully, we can try a stake with her down at Del Mar.

Most recently fourth in the Grade 3 Santa Barbara Stakes going a mile and one half on turf May 14, Carpe Vinum was the second choice in a field of seven fillies and mares at 7-2 and paid $9.60, $4.00 and $3.20.

Owned by MyRacehorse and Joey Platts, Carpe Vinum, a 5-year-old mare by Giant's Causeway out of the Johar mare Martita Sangrita, had been winless in her last 10 starts and improved her overall mark to 16-3-1-4. With the winner's share of $43,200, she increased her earnings to $180,018.

Irish-bred Quattroelle, idle since May 22 of 2021, rallied from last around the far turn to touch Freedom Flyer by a nose on the money. Off at 4-1 with Tyler Baze, she paid $4.80 and $3.80.

Ridden by Juan Hernandez, Freedom Flyer was off at 5-1 and paid $3.40 to show while finishing three quarters of a length in front of Macadamia.

Javanica, the 2-1 favorite with Umberto Rispoli, sat second early and came up empty through the lane to finish fifth.

Fractions on the race were 22.18, 45.37, 1:10.59 and 1:22.74.

Racing resumes with first post time for a 12-race card on Saturday, the penultimate day of Santa Anita's 76-day Winter/Spring run at 1 p.m.

Sweat It Out: Three Tips For Equine Electrolyte Supplementation

The sweat that froths and drips from your horse is laced with electrolytes. Profound electrolyte losses occur in exercising horses, often necessitating an electrolyte supplement for optimal athletic performance. Which supplement should you choose, and how much should you offer to ensure electrolytes are being adequately replaced?

“Electrolyte supplements help replace ions lost in sweat during exercise, predominantly sodium, chloride, potassium, and magnesium. Those ions play important roles in an extensive array of metabolic processes, including those involved in nerve and muscle function, and the flow of nutrients into and waste products out of cells,” explained Kathleen Crandell, Ph.D., a Kentucky Equine Research nutritionist.

Consider these three tips when looking for your next electrolyte supplement:

What do I look for in an electrolyte?
Many horses have access to a daily salt supplement, usually in the form of sodium chloride top-dressed onto feed or a free-choice salt block. This, however, should not be considered an electrolyte supplement per se but rather part of a daily ration to meet basic nutritional needs.

“Electrolyte supplements are commercial products; the powders are mixed into feed or water, and the pastes are given orally. Homemade pastes can be created by mixing a powdered supplement with a carrier, such as applesauce or yogurt. Alternatively, some powders can be added to water for the horse to drink as it likes,” described Crandell.

The most important aspect of any quality electrolyte supplement is that the first ingredients be sodium chloride and potassium chloride. Sugar should not be a primary ingredient.

How much electrolyte should I offer?
“Various guidelines exist to help owners determine a horse's electrolyte needs, including sweat scores,” relayed Crandell.

[Story Continues Below]

She added, “Horses lose approximately 10 grams of electrolytes per liter of sweat. Under ambient circumstances (not excessively hot, humid, or cold), an average 1,100-pound horse can lose 5 to 7 liters of sweat, including 50 to 70 grams of electrolytes per hour of steady trotting and cantering. As heat and humidity increase, horses can lose up to 10 to 12 liters per hour of sweat. If enough electrolytes are lost, performance will begin to suffer.”

In general, the idea is not to replace all of the electrolytes lost in sweat; about 50 percent will be adequate, as the rest can be derived from the diet. The more the horse sweats, the more electrolytes can be offered.

As a general rule of thumb, offer 1 ounce of electrolytes after an hour of steady sweating.

When do I give electrolyte supplements?
Ideally, horses would begin receiving an electrolyte supplement before exercise. This ensures that horses are well hydrated and have adequate, balanced electrolytes for optimal bodily function.

When offering after exercise, consider that not all horses will readily consume electrolyte-laden water. Paste products would therefore be advantageous in these situations to ensure the product is delivered, but be sure to offer free-choice water with them.

“Don't forget that horses work and sweat in the winter as well. Electrolytes are not just a summer staple,” Crandell added.

Kentucky Equine Research has formulated several electrolyte supplements to conquer ion depletion caused by sweating.

For horses receiving furosemide, Kentucky Equine Research's electrolyte Race Recovery is ideal.
