Caesars Racebook App Live in Florida and Ohio

Caesars Sportsbook and NYRA Bets, which together announced in March a new horse racing account wagering app, have officially launched the Caesars Racebook App in both Florida and Ohio. Additional states are slated to be added throughout the year.

Now available for download on iOS, Caesars Racebook utilizes the NYRA Bets platform providing bettors with pari-mutuel wagering on premier racing content from more than 250 tracks around the world. New customers registering for Caesars Racebook will be eligible for a 100% first deposit match up to $500.

“The new Caesars Racebook app, which utilizes the NYRA Bets interface and technology, will expand access to world-class horse racing now and in the future,” said Matt Feig, General Manager of NYRA Bets. “The partnership between NYRA Bets and Caesars is a win for horse racing, its stakeholders, and countless racetracks around the world.”

The launch of Caesars Racebook is another step in the partnership between NYRA Bets and Caesars Sportsbook. In January, the two unveiled a partnership establishing Caesars as an official sports betting marketing partner in New York and the title sponsor of the NYRA Turf Triple Series at Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course.

Insight Outcomes: Owen Leaps to Victory, Realm Looks Regal

Juveniles kicked off Friday's card at Churchill and put on a display for their young sires, while turf fillies did the same for established sires at Delaware the day prior. Despite our featured horses not winning, each gave hints of bigger things down the road and the actual winners weren't too shabby either.

THURSDAY'S INSIGHTS: Kitten's Joy Homebred Debuts at Delaware
3rd-Delaware, $40,750, Msw, 5-26, 3yo/up, 1m 70ydsT, 1:41.58, fm, 1 3/4 lengths.
Alex Campbell, Jr. homebred Come On Kitty Cat (Kitten's Joy) was featured, but it was favored second-timer REGAL REALM (f, 3, Animal Kingdom–Sky Willow {SW, $114,979}, by Empire Maker) who clearly relished a switch to turf, throwing her ears up out of the gate and repelling a threat to lead pillar-to-post for the win. Come On Kitty Cat never got close, but another recent Campbell homebred also trained by Graham Motion had a similar introduction to the races nearly three years ago and won her first graded event just over four months later. That would be MGSW & MGISP Mean Mary (Scat Daddy), who just so happens to be out of Come On Kitty Cat's GISW half-sister Karlovy Vary (Dynaformer). Show stealer Regal Realm, a Jonathan Thomas-trained Augustin Stable homebred, is out of a half-sister to MGSW Spelling Again (Awesome Again), who brought $800,000 from China Horse Club at the 2016 Fasig-Tipton November sale as a racing or broodmare prospect.

FRIDAY'S INSIGHTS: $500k Practical Joke Colt Debuts at Churchill Downs for Todd Pletcher
1st-Churchill Downs, $117,143, Msw, 5-27, 2yo, 5f, :58.78, ft, 1 3/4 lengths.
The well-related Justafever (Justify) and Summonyourcourage (Practical Joke) both took a backseat to OWEN'S LEAP (c, 2, Bolt d'Oro–Defy Gravity {SW, $171,240}, by Bandini). All three debuters are by young sires: Practical Joke is a top five second-crop sire, while Bolt d'Oro and Justify are the early leaders of the first-crop list. Owen's Leap settled midpack in the compacted field, made his move on the outside, and drove to victory with Justafever and Summonyourcourage filling out of the trifecta. The Clearsky Farms-bred, Tom Amoss-trained winner brought $175,000 at Keeneland September from Michael McLoughlin and registered as the third winner for his freshman sire. His dam is a half to GISW Callback (Street Sense) and his granddam is a half to 2010 GI Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver (Maria's Mon). Justafever is a half to GISW Nickname (Scat Daddy), while Summonyourcourage is from the same family as champion Nyquist (Uncle Mo) and GISW Sahara Sky (Pleasant Tap).

Letter to the Editor: C’mon, Bill

Years ago, a dear friend, Joe Spadaro, a veteran turf writer who coined the phrase “get with the program!”, and I were at a bar one evening up on Jericho Turnpike after the races at beautiful Belmont Park. We were commiserating with the Eclipse Award-winning writer Paul Moran about racing. I was always a pretty opinionated guy (still am) and Joe could hear my tone of voice elevating to rebut something that Paul said. Joe turned to me and said “Tom, never get into it with somebody who buys ink by the barrel”. I've always listened to that advice so I'm not going to get into it but: Come on, Bill.

In reference to yesterday's article about the Metropolitan Handicap not being on Memorial Day, when it was traditionally held, yes, I totally agree with you. I am very much a traditionalist also. However, you know what the trend is, right? The bean counters think that apparently big championship racing days generate the most handle. I guess that might be a trend for the future.

But that's not my issue with the article. You referred to this Memorial Day as “it will be just another day at the track”. Come on Bill!!

It's New York-bred Showcase Day, the biggest day of racing for New York-breds in the spring at beautiful Belmont Park. We showcase the best New York-breds in stake race after stake race. New York breeders spend a ton of money all over the country including Kentucky. We just passed a rule whereby you can buy a mare at any auction in Kentucky and other states, ship the mare back within 15 days and take advantage of everything the program has to offer. New York-breds race with up to a 30% advantage over non-New York-breds at New York tracks for some of the biggest purses in the country.

Times are tough. We went from an annual 50,000 foal crop nationally when I got into the business back in the 70s to around an 18,000 foal crop presently. Let's go easy on each other and try and be supportive of all the state programs, including New York's.
And go easy on me with all that ink in your barrel!

Respectfully,
Tom Gallo
President, New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc.

Going Global Favored in Gamely

Going Global (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) will put her perfect five-for-five record over the Santa Anita lawn to the test as the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the GI Gamely S. at Santa Anita Monday. The 4-year-old was first or second in seven of eight starts last term, with her lone off-the-board finish coming in the off-turf GI American Oaks in December. Her 2021 campaign included wins in the GI Del Mar Oaks–at the Gamely's nine-furlong distance–and in the GII Goldikova S. She opened 2022 with a win in the one-mile GII Royal Heroine S. in Arcadia Apr. 9.

Reddam Racing's Eddie's New Dream (Square Eddie), a winner over nine furlongs of the Santa Anita turf in an optional claimer last November, won the Mar. 19 Irish O'Brien S. down the hill against fellow Cal-breds before a rallying runner-up effort behind the reopposing Canoodling (Pioneerof the Nile) in the one-mile GIII Wilshire S. May 1.

“On paper, she definitely fits in there,” said trainer Ben Cecil. “I think the extra furlong is probably good for her. She runs hard and gives her all every time. I know she'll run well. It will just be a question of if she's up to it.”

In addition to her front-running score in the Wilshire, B-4 Farms' Canoodling also captured the one-mile Jan. 29 GIII Megahertz S. at Santa Anita. She will be trying to stretch out to nine furlongs for the first time in her career Monday.
