Cary Grant Result Scripted Perfectly For Filmmaker/Trainer Librado Barocio

There's a reason it took Librado Barocio a couple of decades with his training license before scoring his first graded stakes victory in the Nov. 21 Cary Grant Stakes at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.

“I'm a filmmaker,” Barochio explained in the winner's circle afterward. “I make a film, I'm away for a year or two and then I come back. Last time I took three years off and came back in June. I've been working with Kevin Hart and Jamie Foxx on some things.”

Barocio, a 1987 graduate of the UCLA film school, got his racetrack education working with/for the late trainer Julio Canani and Canani's assistant Miguel Delgado. He's trained thoroughbreds, when not fully engaged in the business of his Culver City-based New Latin Cinema Productions, off and on since 1999.

He currently has seven horses in his stable. Principe Carlo ($39.00) nosed out favored Positivity in a photo to provide Barocio with his first stakes victory anywhere. “I prayed so hard,” Barocio said of the moments when the result hung in the balance. “But I felt good about it.”

Principe Carlo had been claimed for $20,000 in October of 2020, went unraced for more than a year, and came back with a creditable runner-up at Santa Anita before the Cary Grant.

The owning Mi Familia Racing Stable, which translates from Spanish to “My Family,” is indeed the family of Barocio, his wife two daughters and a son. Barocio has had runners at Del Mar over the years, he said, but not last summer

“I didn't come to Del Mar this (summer) because I was finishing up a film I was doing in Los Angeles,” Barocio said. “The guys (racing secretaries) Chris Merz at Santa Anita and David Jerkens here have been good to me. They gave me a chance and that's all I needed. David said I could come here any time.”

Photo Finish Gives Principe Carlo Victory Over Positivity In Cary Grant

In a tight photo finish with three horses bidding for the win, Principe Carlo got the nod in the Cary Grant Stakes for California breds, the longshot springing the upset at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.

The field of seven broke in a line, with Colt Fiction showing a head in front first before Fashionably Fast took the lead coming out of the chute. Sprinting out to a short lead, Fashionably Fast had Positivity and Colt Fiction pressing the pace down the backstretch. Around the far turn, jockey Kent Desormeaux angled Principe Carlo to the outside, going four-wide into the stretch with Fashionably Fast, Positivity, and Colt Fiction to his inside.

Down the Del Mar stretch, Fashionably Fast could not hold on to the lead, with Positivity, Colt Fiction, and Principe Carlo coming on to his outside, vying for the lead. Colt Fiction took a short lead midstretch, but Positivity to his inside and Principe Carlo on the outside battled back. The three hit the wire together, a photo finish necessary to determine the winner. In the end, Principe Carlo got the bob, winning by a nose over Positivity, with Colt Fiction a neck back in third. None Above the Law, Peaceful Transfer, Fashionably Fast, and Loud Mouth rounded out the order of finish.

The final time for the seven-furlong Cary Grant was 1:22.33. Find this race's chart here.

Principe Carlo paid $39.00, $14.00, and $7.00. Positivity paid $4.60 and $3.40. Colt Fiction paid $3.40.

“I knew I'd won it. (Up by a nose in the last jump.) No special instructions for me. Just ride him. The track has been playing better on the outside today so I broke from the 7 and stayed out there the whole race. The horse ran great. He got it done,” jockey Kent Desormeaux said after the Cary Grant.

“My first stakes win anywhere. The horse has a heart of gold and it has been a team effort. We gave him some time off (a year after claiming from Keith Desormeauux in October of 2020) and that's all he needed. This means a lot. All I needed was a chance and people here and at Santa Anita have been very good in giving it to me,” trainer Librado Barocio told the Del Mar press office after the race.

Bred in California by Richard Barton Enterprises, Principe Carlo is by Coil out of the Rahy mare Princess Ezra (GB). The 5-year-old horse is owned by Mia Familia Racing Stable. Principe Carlo was a $4,000 RNA consigned by McCarthy Bloodstock at the 2018 Barretts Equine Limited Spring Two-Year-Olds In Training Sale. His win in the Cary Grant Stakes is the 5-year-old's first in two starts in 2021, for a lifetime record of 22-7-7-0 and career earnings of $367,543.

Loud Mouth Charges Past Take The One O One For Cary Grant Victory

Thomsen Racing's Loud Mouth tracked the leaders early, then fired his best shot in the lane under leading rider Abel Cedillo and came away with a three-quarter length score in the seventh running of the Cary Grant Stakes Sunday at Del Mar near San Diego, Calif.

The 4-year-old colt by Boisterous rang up his first stakes score in the Cal-bred offering, besting six rivals in 1:22.34 for the seven panels.

It was the second win on the day for Cedillo, who now has 18 firsts in 11 days of racing. Loud Mouth is trained by Steve Knapp.

Finishing second was Jay Em Ess Stable's Take the One O One, while Reddam Racing's Rookie Mistake was three and a half lengths farther back. The 11-10 favorite, West Point Thoroughbreds, Barker, Sandbrook, et al's Galilean finished fourth.

“I could tell they were going fast up front (:22.13, :44.94, 1:09.56), but I had my eye on the favorite (Galilean),” said Cedillo. “I was tracking him. When he made his move (on the turn), I moved with him. Then I went by him in the straight and went after the leader (Take the One O One). My horse had it and we got him.”

Loud Mouth paid $28.00, $10.60 and $7.00 for his tally. Take the One O One returned $4.80 and $3.60, while Rookie Mistake paid $6.80.

The victory gave Cedillo another notch on his belt toward winning his second straight Bing Crosby Season title at Del Mar. He is currently eight wins ahead of his nearest rival with four days left in the meet. Last year the 31-year-old from Guatemala won honors with 13 victories.

“I kept experimenting with him to find out what and how far he wanted to run,” Knapp said of Loud Mouth. “He got some real questionable rides, several of them, but I knew this horse could run. We went the seven today and worked out and he ran huge. This horse has a big heart and when he gets to the lead or gets close, he runs. And he's got a really nice way of moving. He's a runner and this is a hell of a win.”

The winning owner, Ron Thomsen, lives in Valley Center, which is about 32 miles northeast of Del Mar.

Racing will resume at Del Mar on Thanksgiving Thursday with an early first post at 11 a.m. It will be the start of a dynamic final four days of the season with seven graded turf stakes up for grabs, including Grade 1 offerings on Saturday (Hollywood Derby) and Sunday (Matriarch Stakes).

Galilean Looking To Add Cary Grant Stakes To Growing Résumé

West Point Thoroughbreds, Denis Barker and William Sandbrook's Galilean will attempt to win the seventh stakes race of his brief career Sunday when he takes on nine rivals in the seventh running of the Cary Grant Stakes at Del Mar near San Diego, Calif.

The seven-furlong dash for 3-year-olds and up bred in California carries a purse of $100,000 and is part of the year-long Golden State Series that provides approximately $4.6 million in purses to Cal breds at racetracks throughout the state.

Galilean is a son of the prolific Kentucky sire Uncle Mo out of the El Prado mare Fresia who was foaled in the Golden State. He was a $60,000 yearling purchase initially, but he became much more than that when he was offered for sale at the Barretts Spring Sale of 2-year-olds in 2018. He was far and away the sales topper at that event as he was hammered home at $600,000 at the behest of West Point Thoroughbred's Terry Finley.

The bay colt was trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer for his 2- and 3-year-old seasons and captured the Barretts Juvenile Stakes at Los Alamitos in the first start of his career. He went on to win two more stakes and place in two others for Hollendorfer before going on the shelf, then being moved to the barn of conditioner John Sadler for his 4-year-old season where he's managed to win a trio of Cal-bred stakes. His current record stands at 12 starts, six wins and $577,098 in purses.

Galilean will be ridden by Umberto Rispoli Sunday under top weight of 124 pounds and has been pegged as the 5/2 favorite in the Cary Grant lineup.

Here's the full field for the feature in post position order with riders and morning line odds:

Newfield Farm or Martin's Appreciated (Tiago Pereira, 20-1); Alfred Pais' Brickyard Ride (Alexis Centeno, 6-1); Jay Em Ess Stable's Take the One O One (Jose Valdivia, Jr., 3-1); Barnhart, Foxx or Naify, et al's Surfing Star (Jessica Pyfer, 12-1); William Peeples' Oliver (Juan Hernandez, 20-1); Slam Dunk Racing or Nentwig's El Tigre Terrible (Flavien Prat, 7/2); Oetman or Pagano's Bettor Trip Nic (Drayden Van Dyke, 15-1); Galilean; Thomsen Racing's Loud Mouth (Abel Cedillo, 12-1), and Reddam Racing's Rookie Mistake (Mario Gutierrez, 8-1).

El Tigre Terrible, a 3-year-old by Smiling Tiger, has won four of nine starts including a pair of stakes tallies, most recently at Del Mar this past summer in the Real Good Deal run under similar conditions as the Cary Grant. Peter Miller trains the bay gelding.

Take the One O One shortens up after a series of two-turn races. The 5-year-old by Acclamation didn't race at all in 2019, but is a double winner this year. The Brian Koriner-trained horse has a bankroll that reads $447,326.

Rookie Mistake has been stakes-placed on four different occasions. The Square Eddie colt is trained by Doug O'Neill.

Both Brickyard Ride and Surfing Star are being ridden by apprentices, an unusual occurrence in a stakes race where their apprentice allowances do not apply. In both cases it has to be seen as a tip of the cap to Centeno and Pyfer and their riding abilities.

First post Sunday for the nine-race card is 12:30. The Cary Grant is the eight race on the program and should go off around 4 p.m.
