Burgoo Alley Best In Autumn Miss At Santa Anita

Burgoo Alley (IRE) was not going to let a little traffic keep her from getting the win in the Grade 3 Autumn Miss at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif. Fifth behind horses around the far turn, the daughter of Footstepsinthesand (GB) angled out from the rail and sprinted past Spanish Loveaffair and Zero Tolerance to win the one-mile turf stakes.

Breaking from post three, jockey Umberto Rispoli settled Burgoo Alley in fifth behind frontrunners Zero Tolerance and Spanish Loveaffair around the first turn and into the backstretch. As the field of eight reached the far turn, Burgoo Alley had some horses in front of her, unable to move from her rail spot until they entered the stretch. Rispoli moved her out as Spanish Loveaffair wore down Zero Tolerance. Spanish Loveaffair held the lead briefly, but Burgoo Alley surged past her to win the G3 Autumn Miss by a half-length. Javanica passed Zero Tolerance late to finish third.

The final time for the one-mile stakes was 1:34.37. Find this race's chart here.

Burgoo Alley paid $12.60, $5.60, and $3.80. Spanish Loveaffair paid $4.20 and $3.20. Javanica paid $5.60.

“I think the distance is the key for her. Last time we tried six and a half going down the hill. I would not say that she ran a bad race. I think the six and a half was definitely too short for her. I knew today that I could end up in a nice spot. She was sharp from the gate, giving me the chance to be where I wanted to be, just behind the favorite (Spanish Loveaffair) and I got a very nice trip and she put down a nice performance,” Rispoli said after the race. “Because I was on the fence behind Javanica, my first thought was to end up behind Abel (Cedillo, aboard Spanish Loveaffair) since I thought she was the horse to beat. At the five-eighths pole, I was where I wanted to be and she did the rest.”

Bred in Ireland by Eoghan Grogan, Burgoo Alley is out of the Daylami mare Nurama (GB). Trained by Phil D'Amato, the 3-year-old filly is owned by CYBT, Michael Nentwig, and Ray Pagano. Consigned by Killourney Mor Farm, she was an $18,299 RNA at the 2019 Goffs February Mixed Sale. With her victory in the Autumn Miss, the filly has three wins in seven starts in 2021, for a lifetime record of 9-3-2-1 and career earnings of $170,330.

Spanish Loveaffair Meets Madone in Autumn Miss

It an East versus West match-up in the GIII Autumn Miss S. at Santa Anita Saturday when Spanish Loveaffair (Karakontie {Jpn}) meets Madone (Vancouver {Aus}). Runner-up in the GIII Regret S. at Churchill May 29, Spanish Loveaffair faded to eighth in the July 10 GI Belmont Oaks Invitational S. and was fourth in Saratoga's GII Lake Placid S. over a yielding course Aug. 21. She enters off a win in the Pebbles S. at Belmont Sept. 19.

Winner of the GIII Senorita S. earlier this year, Madone captured the GII San Clemente S. July 24. The dark bay rallied for fifth in the GI Del Mar Oaks Aug. 21 and filled the same spot in the Jockey Club Oaks Invitational S. at Belmont Sept. 18.

Peter Miller saddles a filly on the rise in Zero Tolerance (Mizzen Mast). Rallying from well back to miss by just a nose on debut at Del Mar Aug. 1, the gray graduated on dirt next out there Aug. 20 and captured the grassy Unzip Me S. at Santa Anita Oct. 3.

Eastern Invaders Spice Autumn Miss Field At Santa Anita

Lightly raced Zero Tolerance will stretch out and face graded stakes competition for the first time and could pose an elusive front-running target among a talented field of eight sophomore fillies going one mile on turf in Saturday's Grade 3, $100,000 Autumn Miss Stakes at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif.

Among those also figuring prominently in the Autumn Miss are Irish-breds Ego Trip and Burgoo Alley, along with Spanish Loveaffair and Madone.

Based at San Luis Rey Downs with Peter Miller, Zero Tolerance comes off an impressive one-length tally going 6 ½ furlongs down the hillside turf course in the ungraded Unzip Me Stakes Oct. 3. With leading man Flavien Prat back aboard, she figures to be sent from her outside post in what will be her first two-turn assignment.

A nose shy of being unbeaten in three starts, she broke her maiden two races back, winning by a half length going six furlongs on dirt.  By Mizzen Mast out of the El Prado mare Torreadora, Zero Tolerance is owned by Custom Truck Accessories, Jason Hall, Joe Kelly and Michael Riordan.

Although she's winless in three starts, Ego Trip has kept good company while defeating 21 combined runners in England and New York.  Second in a field of 13 in her seven furlong debut on synthetic at Newcastle on March 16, she closed much ground while running a close second in a one mile maiden special weight at Saratoga July 24.  Trained by Brendan Walsh and owned by Rebecca Hillen, she was subsequently third, beaten four lengths in the G2 Lake Placid Stakes going 1 1/16 miles over a yielding turf at Saratoga on Aug. 21 at odds of 3-1.

With Del Mar's G1, one mile turf Matriarch Stakes on Nov. 21 likely on the minds of many entering the Autumn Miss, Ego Trip ships in fresh from Keeneland for Walsh and gets the services of Victor Espinoza in her Southern California debut.

Third, beaten 1 ¼ lengths by Zero Tolerance as the 8-5 favorite in the Unzip Me Stakes Oct. 3, Burgoo Alley will be making her first graded stakes appearance on Saturday.  Winless in three starts in her native Ireland, Burgoo Alley, who is trained by Phil D'Amato, broke her maiden in her second stateside start going six furlongs on turf here June 21 and took a first condition allowance two starts back going one mile on grass at Del Mar Aug. 14.

Hard-hitting Burgoo Alley, who broke a bit slowly and then stumbled slightly a few jumps out of the gate in the Unzip Me, will be ridden for the sixth consecutive time by Umberto Rispoli and rates a huge chance.

Trained by Mark Casse, Spanish Loveaffair, who was a troubled fourth, beaten three quarters of a length by Ego Trip two starts back in the G2 Lake Placid at Saratoga, comes off the best race of her career—a 2 ¼ length score going one mile on turf in the ungraded Pebbles Stakes at Belmont Park on Sept. 19, a race in which she earned an 88 Beyer Speed Figure.  A G3 stakes winner with three wins from five tries at a mile on grass, Spanish Loveaffair has an outstanding resume and has earnings of $264,090.

Owned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Michael Hernon and Gary Barber, Spanish Loveaffair is by Karakontie and is out of the Unusual Heat mare Spanish Bunny.  A three-time stakes winner, she'll be making her first Southern California start with Abel Cedillo as she tries to improve upon an overall mark of 10-3-2-0.

A four-time stakes winner, the Simon Callaghan-trained Madone has posted five wins from six tries on turf and is the leading money earner in the field with $367,800.  Most recently fifth going 1 3/8 miles on turf in the ungraded Jockey Club Invitational Oaks at Belmont Park Sept. 18, she was a solid fifth two starts back in the G1 Del Mar Oaks going 1 1/8 miles on turf Aug. 21.

A winner of Del Mar's G2 San Clemente Stakes going one mile on turf three starts back, she'll be reunited with Juan Hernandez, who also guided her to victory in the G3 Senorita Stakes five races back here at Santa Anita on May 1.

Owned by Kaleem Shah, Inc., Madone is by the Medaglia d'Oro stallion Vancouver and is out of the Cherokee Run mare Indian Love Call.  Proven as a deep closer, she's also proven effective sitting close to the pace.  With five wins from nine starts, Madone will be bidding for her third graded stakes victory.

Thursday’s Pick 6 At Belmont Bolstered By $74,372 Carryover

The Pick 6 on Thursday will be bolstered by a $74,372 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved on Sunday at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $3,344 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

Sunday's sequence kicked off in Race 5 with the Antonio Arriaga-trained Quantitativbreezin [No. 9, $6.70] prevailing in a 6 1/2-furlong claiming sprint for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up on the main track. Jose Ortiz engineered the winning trip.

Geno [No. 3, $21.80] graduated in a six-furlong Widener turf sprint for state-bred juveniles in Race 6 under Hall of Famer John Velazquez for trainer David Donk; and the Rudy Rodriguez-conditioned Scuttlebuzz [No. 11, $6.60] prevailed under Jose Lezcano in Race 7, a six-furlong optional-claimer on the inner turf for state-breds 3-years-old and up.

Fight On Lucy [No. 3, $32.80], trained by Pat Kelly, rallied to victory in Race 8 under Benjamin Hernandez in a seven-furlong optional-claiming sprint for state-bred fillies and mares 3-years-old and up, but the biggest price in the sequence came in the featured $150,000 Pebbles when Spanish Loveaffair [No. 11, $63] scored in the one-mile Widener turf test for sophomore fillies under Junior Alvarado for Hall of Famer Mark Casse.

With the Pick 6 carryover already guaranteed, Tallis [No. 12, $7.50] outdueled My Boy Colton [No. 6] to win the Race 10 finale – a 1 1/16-mile maiden claimer for 3-year-olds and up on the inner turf. Velazquez rode the winner for Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher.

Thursday's Pick 6 kicks off in Race 4 at 3:39 p.m. Eastern. First post on the nine-race card is 2:05 p.m. Eastern.
