‘I Took It To Them Early’: Main Event Makes All To Earn First Graded Victory In Kent Stakes

Harrell Ventures' Main Event took charge soon after the start and led at every point of call to win in the $200,000 Kent Stakes (G3) Saturday at Delaware Park.

Jockey Eric Cancel guided Main Event to the front immediately in the 1 1/8 mile turf test for 3-year-olds, and the Bernardini colt was hounded throughout the early stages by Uncle Irish, who eventually faded to last. He asserted his dominance rounding the far turn, opening up by three lengths in early stretch, and held his command for a 1 ½-length triumph, his first graded stakes win.

French-bred Elizar, a maiden winner who was the 8-5 favorite after an unplaced finish at Belmont Park in the Penine Ridge (G2) June 4 in only his second start, settled next to last in the field of seven for the early running. He came four wide at the top of the stretch, and rallied strongly at the sixteenths pole before finishing second, three-quarter of a length in front of third-place finisher Tommy Bee.

Main Event, who is trained by George Weaver, covered the distance in 1:48:74 on turf rated as firm. He returned $10.60.

“I had a dream trip,” Cancel said. “I wanted to be forwardly placed with this horse because his best races have been on the lead or really close. I knew there was a lot of speed in the race, but I knew my horse was very game so I took it to them early. If they were going to beat me, they would have had to beat me running. Once I started making the turn at the three-eighths, I felt I still had plenty of horse so I let him go to get him more comfortable. By the quarter pole he kind of stayed steady like he was waiting for horses so I just tried to give him a very confident ride to the end.”

Since being moved to turf this year, Main Event broke his maiden January 30 at Gulfstream Park, then was second by a neck in the Palm Beach Stakes there March 5 before earning black type with victory in the Cutler Bay Stakes April 2. He came into the Kent after a lackluster ninth in the American Turf Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs May 7 but was ready to win Saturday.

With $120,000 winner's share of the Kent purse, Main Event earning improve to $246,333. He was a $130,000 purchase by agent Steve Young at the 2021 OBS Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds In Training. His career was launched later that year at Aqueduct, where he was unplaced in two maiden special weight races on dirt.

Bred in Kentucky by Godolphin and Eric and Elizabeth Buckley.  Main Event  is out of the Unbridled's Song mare, Total Knockout.

Sutherland Guides Willy Boi To Smile Stakes Win, Earns Credit For Breeders’ Cup Entry

Lea Farms LLC's Willy Boi benefited from a perfect trip under Chantal Sutherland to register a comfortable length victory in Saturday's $100,000 Smile Sprint (G3) at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

Slightly favored at 4-5 over Grade 1 winner Drain the Clock, Willy Boy also collected a $50,000 'Win Only' bonus available to a Florida-bred winner.

The Smile, a six-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up named in tribute to Florida-bred 1985 Eclipse Award champion sprinter, was featured on Saturday's Summit of Speed program that was headlined by the $300,000 Princess Rooney Invitational (G2), a seven-furlong 'Breeders' Cup Win & You're In' sprint for fillies and mares.

Willy Boi, who captured the Hutcheson and finished fourth in last year's Smile, is now undefeated in three starts since being transferred to trainer Jorge Delgado, having come off an eight-month layoff to capture an April 8 optional claiming allowance before going on to prep for the Smile with an impressive win the the Big Drama May 28.

“I'm so grateful that Lea Farms gave me the chance to train these kind of horses,” said Delgado, who notched the first graded-stakes success in the May 21 Chick Lang (G3) at Pimlico with Lea Farms LLC's Lightening Larry. “I hope I can get more of this quality of horse, because I love to win these kinds of races.”

Drain the Clock, also sent to post at 4-5, was making his first start since finishing off the board in the Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1) March 26, had his head turned when the starting gates opened but was quick to recover. However, the Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained winner of the 2021 Woody Stephens (G1) was outsprinted along the backstretch by Yes I Am a Beast and Gatsby, who vied for the lead during a 21.74-second first quarter of a mile. Drain the Clock advanced to the lead three-wide on the turn into the stretch but was quickly joined to his outside by Willy Boi, who had rated behind the contested pace. Willy Boi went on to open a clear lead in the stretch and was in complete control to the wire, holding off a late-running Pudding.

“I did get a little nervous in the gate because there was a little bit of noise and commotion. We broke a little slow, but the track has been playing a little for closers from off the pace and not holding speed as well, so it kind of worked in our favor,” Sutherland said. “I was comfortable, but I kept my eye on [Drain the Clock].  I thought he ran a great race. In the lane when I came to him, I wanted to get away from him because I know he's a pit bull and he'll fight, and I didn't want to fight with him today, so I wanted to stay away from him.”

Willy Boi ran six furlongs in 1:09.Hey C71 seconds. Pudding rallied from last to finish second, 3 ¼ lengths ahead of Absolute Grit. Drain the Clock tired to finish another length back in fourth.

“He got beat up. It was one of those days,” said Saffie Joseph Jr., trainer of Drain the Clock. “Not much to say. Don't know why he ran like that, but he'll see tomorrow. I don't really have excuse.”

For Sutherland, the Smile Sprint victory continued a career resurgence at Gulfstream Park.

“It meant a lot to me at the beginning being at the top, but now having been to the top and been on the bottom, to be coming back, it's means so much more,” Sutherland said.

The Smile is one of 12 graded dirt stakes included in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Dozen, an incentive-based participation bonus program. Willy Boi earned a $30,000 credit toward the entry fee for the $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) Nov. 5 at Keeneland. The second-place finisher Pudding earned a $15,000 credit, while third-place finisher Absolute Grit earned a $7500 credit.

Delgado said he had no definite plans for Willy Boi's next start.

“It's undecided but I think we'll go to Saratoga with him,” said Delgado, whose ultimate goal for the 4-year-old son of Uncaptured is the Breeders' Cup Sprint.

Day 1 of HISA: Scratches Hard to Find, Lone Star Handle Plummets

Any worries that the first day under which horses had to be registered with the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority in order to compete would create chaos were squelched early on in the day Saturday when a number of tracks reported that not a single horse had to be withdrawn from a race due to the new rules.

The TDN sent out survey questions to a number of racing officials Saturday to determine how many, if any, horses had to be scratched because either the horses or their owners or trainers had not been registered with HISA. The TDN heard back from eight tracks–Gulfstream, Laurel, Belmont, Churchill Downs, Evangeline Downs, Los Alamitos, Monmouth and Charles Town. All eight reported that not a single horse at their tracks had to be scratched because of HISA's regulations.

The numbers may have been a pleasant surprise for the HISA team, which had told the TDN earlier in the week that they were prepared for some scratches.

“Since such a registration process has never existed at the national level before, it's unclear how many people and horses are or will be participating in racing come July 1,” a spokesperson told the TDN. “It should be noted that the universe of people expected to register is limited to the 24 states conducting covered horse races under HISA's authority.”

As of Friday night, the last chance individuals had to register themselves and their horses so that they would be eligible to race on Saturday, there were 27,074 covered horses and 24,147 covered persons. Through mid-week, 30,846 different horses had competed in the U.S. this year, but that doesn't mean that some 3,846 horses were not registered. A good number of the 30,846 runners may have been hurt and/or retired at some point in the year, meaning there was no need to register them.

There were also no reports of jockeys who weren't registered and therefore could not ride.

The news wasn't nearly as good out of Texas. The Texas Racing Commission has not complied with the Horse Racing and Integrity Safety Act, arguing that under Texas law only the commission has the authority to oversee racing. That led the commission to rule that the signal from the state's tracks cannot be sent out of state and that advance deposit wagering companies could not take betting on Texas races.

Predictably, that led to a massive decline in handle Saturday at Lone Star Park on the first day that its races couldn't be sent out of state. Lone Star ran a 10-race card on Saturday, June 25 and handled $1,771,138 or $177,113 per race. There was an eight-race card on Saturday and total handle for the day was $215,107, for an average of $26,888 per race.

The Lone Star meet concludes July 24, so it's unlikely that the decreased handle will affect purses in the short term, but that could change if the HISA-Texas Racing Commission standoff persists.
