Beer Can Man Ready For His Close-Up After Cecil B. DeMille Victory

The 2-year-old colt Beer Can Man made his West Coast debut a winning one when he tracked the leaders early, then fired late to capture the seventh edition of the $103,000 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes Sunday at Del Mar.

The bay son of Can the Man scored by half a length under rider Juan Hernandez in the mile on turf run in 1:34.75. He had been competing at Indiana Downs in the Midwest where he'd won two of four starts, but was purchased privately and shipped to the barn of local trainer Mark Glatt.

Beer Can Man is now owned by the racing group called Little Red Feather Racing with their partner Sterling Stables. He picked up $60,000 as his share of the winning purse in the Grade 3 feature and now has a bankroll that reads $100,580.

Finishing second in the juvenile grass test was Sarah Kelly's Caisson and running third was Nguyen or Tran's Commander Khai.

“One jump out of there he came (back) to me,” said Hernandez. “He settled real well. I just found me spot tracking the leaders and I was happy. At the quarter pole I asked him to go and he did. He really fired. He didn't want to let horses go past him, either. He's a nice horse.”

The winner, an outsider in the 11-horse lineup, returned $41.20, $14.80 and $10.60 across the board. Caisson paid $6.20 and $7.20 and Commandeer Khai returned $10.40 to show.

“We've had him about six weeks,” said Glatt. “We entered him the first weekend of the meeting, thinking we could run then and then come back in this race. But that race didn't go. So (the owners) told me to get him ready to go a mile. I was a little skeptical to be honest, but the horse relaxed great, Juan (Hernandez) put a nice ride on him and he got the money.”

The stakes win was the third of the meet for rider Hernandez, but his first in the Cecil B. DeMille. He now has seven stakes wins at Del Mar.

The stakes win was the first of the meet for trainer Glatt and his first in the Cecil B. DeMille. He now has 11 stakes wins at Del Mar.

Can the Man Colt Upsets DeMille

Beer Can Man, making his first start for Little Red Feather Racing and Kevin Bogart’s Sterling Stables and trainer Mark Glatt, reeled in pacesetting Commander Khai in the final strides to win the GIII Cecil B. DeMille S. at Del Mar Sunday. Sent off at 19-1 in his first try at a mile and away from Indiana Grand, Beer Can Man settled in third along the rail as Commander Khai took the field through fractions of :22.53 and :46.84. Commander Khai attempted to shake loose in upper stretch, but Beer Can Man was tipped out and bound past that foe while before holding off Caisson to the wire.

“One jump out of there he came [back] to me,” said winning rider Juan Hernandez. “He settled real well. I just found my spot tracking the leaders and I was happy. At the quarter pole, I asked him to go and he did. He really fired. He didn’t want to let horses go past him, either. He’s a nice horse.”

Racing for breeder Ron Patterson and trainer Thomas Short, Beer Can Man graduated going five furlongs over the Indiana Grand turf Aug. 31 and he was purchased privately following an allowance win over the same Sept. 30.

“We’ve had him about six weeks,” Glatt said. “We entered him the first weekend of the meeting, thinking we could run then and then come back in this race. But that race didn’t go. So [the owners] told me to get him ready to go a mile. I was a little skeptical to be honest, but the horse relaxed great, Juan put a nice ride on him and he got the money.”

Pedigree Notes:

Ron Patterson purchased Beer Can Man’s dam, Cheesecake, as a 3-year-old for $30,000 at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age Sale. The winner’s third dam, Classic Value, produced multiple graded winner Class Kris (Kris S.), dam of Grade I winner Student Council, as well as the dams of graded winners Gulch Approval and Don’t Get Mad.

Beer Can Man is the first graded winner for his sire Can the Man, winner of the 2014 GIII Affirmed S. The stallion’s three stakes winners include Spectacular Gem, a two-time stakes winner on the turf last year and winner of this year’s Kentucky Downs Preview Tourist Mile S. He has also been represented by Truck Salesman, second in this year’s G3 Al Shindagha Sprint at Meydan.

Gamble For Grayson Handicapping Challenge Between Little Red Feather Racing, Equibase

Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation announced today that it has partnered with Little Red Feather Racing and Equibase Company for the Gamble for Grayson Handicapping Challenge.

The handicapping contest will take place November 28-29 and span five graded stakes races that are scheduled to be held that weekend at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif. Representatives from Little Red Feather and Equibase will have a $500 bankroll, of which $100 must be played on each of the specified races on win, place, show, exacta, trifecta, or superfecta wagers. At the end of the weekend, all remaining bankroll and winnings will be donated to Grayson.

“We thank Little Red Feather and Equibase for recognizing the importance of equine veterinary research,” said Jamie Haydon, president of Grayson. “Grayson's previous handicapping challenges for charity at Indiana Grand and with The Stronach Group were rousing successes, and we appreciate the interest from other organizations to participate in similar contests to benefit our foundation.”

“Little Red Feather prioritizes the health and wellness of our racehorses, and Grayson-funded research enables us and all horse owners to ensure that our horses are receiving the best care at all stages of their lives,” said Fenton. “Along with Kenny Mayne, I am excited to put my handicapping skills to the test on behalf of Little Red Feather to raise money for such an important cause.”

“Our team at Equibase is poised for the Grayson gambling challenge and supporting the foundation's work,” said Jason Wilson, president and chief operating officer of Equibase. “I am confident that Christina's and Ellis' handicapping prowess combined with Equibase's handicapping tools will make for an exciting competition with Little Red Feather, and, most importantly, a successful weekend for Grayson and their important work.”
