Sea Calisi takes G2 Sheepshead Bay, gives Ortiz sweep of stakes
By Najja Thompson
ELMONT, N.Y. – Heavily favored Sea Calisi made her American debut a winning one, taking the lead in midstretch and going on to a 2 ½-length victory in the Grade 2, $200,000 Sheepshead Bay on Saturday at Belmont Park.
Owned by Martin Schwartz, who bought the 4-year-old filly in Europe and turned her over to trainer Chad Brown, Sea Calisi was content to save ground at the back of the pack as Robillard led through an opening quarter in 25.47 seconds, with the half going in 52.09. Still last on the far turn but roused by jockey Jose Ortiz as the field straightened for home, Sea Calisi made a quick move to grab the lead approaching the eighth pole and hit the wire in 2:18.90 for 1 3/8 miles over the yielding turf.
“The plan was to cover her up, so that’s what I did for most of the race,” said Ortiz, who won five races on the card, including the Grade 3 Westchester aboard Anchor Down and the Grade 3 Fort Marcy with Ironicus. “I took her to the outside a little before the quarter pole and she did it all by herself. I just showed her the whip a couple of times and she just rolled by them and then I tried to ease her up and save some horse for next time.
“I was worried about the slow pace,” he added. “It was a small field but I think she was the best horse of the race. She finished third in the Darley Oaks. She’s a great filly and I want to thank the owner and the trainer for the...

NYRA – Anchor Down runs aweigh in G3 Westchester

We want our IdaBet.com players to know:

Anchor Down runs aweigh in G3 Westchester
By Jenny Kellner
ELMONT, N.Y. – Alto Racing’s Anchor Down splashed his way to a convincing 6 ¾-length victory in Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Westchester at Belmont Park, picking up his first graded stakes win and stamping himself a contender for the Grade 1, $1.25 million Metropolitan Handicap on June 11.
Most recently seen finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Carter Handicap in April, Anchor Down was sent straight to the lead by jockey Jose Ortiz, where he ticked off fractions of 23.28, 46.88 and 1:10.84 with Stormin Monarcho and Samraat in pursuit. Shaking clear of those rivals once straightened for home, the 5-year-old gray son of Tapit rolled unchallenged to the finish line, covering the mile in 1:35.10 over the muddy, sealed track.
“The horse broke great and when I asked him to go at the quarter pole, he just exploded and gave me everything he had; I didn’t have to use my whip,” said Ortiz. “I didn’t push him too much and he gave me a great run.”
The victory was the first of the year for Anchor Down, who began 2016 with a pair of third-place finishes at Gulfstream Park, including the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Handicap, in which he was disqualified and placed fourth. Overall, he is 4-1-2 from 13 career starts and now has earned $276,920.
“This race has been on our radar for a while,” said Byron Hughes, assistant to winning trainer Todd Pletcher. “I wasn’t surprised he won so convincingly; he’s put in some big efforts before against some nice horses. He’d breezed well for this race, and he’d been training well since his last race. The Metropolitan Handicap [Grade 1, $1.25...

ARROM BEAR RAZOR-SHARP IN SATURDAY FEATURE

AUBURN, Wash. (May 7, 2016) – Arrom Bear reeled in Scat Daddybaby late and scored a three-quarter-length victory Saturday in the $20,500 Special Olympics Alaska Purse on Kentucky Derby Day at Emerald Downs.
Expertly handled by Javier Matias, Arrom Bear smoked six furlongs in 1:07.67 and paid $11.60, $6.20 and $4.40. Frank Lucarelli is the winning trainer for owners Center Point Racing Stables and Sabers Drawn Racing.
Scat Daddybaby, ridden by Juan Gutierrez, opened a clear lead early—setting fractions of :21.59, :43.66 and :55.44—and maintained the advantage to deep stretch, but was overtaken by Arrom Bear from the inside in the final yards. Scat Daddybaby paid $9.20 and $5.40.
rick Or Retreat, with Ronald Richard riding, flew late for third and paid $4 to show, while Indian Brut, Awesome Indian, Botch and Solemnly Swear completed the order of finish.
A 4-year-old Washington-bred by Nationhood-Lite Nite, Arrom Bear is 6-0-2 in 14 starts lifetime with earnings of $67,092, including $11,275 for Saturday’s victory. Arrom Bear is especially tough at six furlongs, compiling a 3-1-1 record in six starts at the distance.
 
NOTES: Two winning tickets in Saturday’s $0.20 Pick 7 paid $6,900 each, including one belonging to former Seattle Times handicapper Gary Dougherty. Dougherty was alive to two horses in the final leg, Papa Frank ($5.60) and runner-up Daves Birthday Boy (the latter would have paid over $13,000. . .Matias rode three winners Saturday and is tied for fifth place with 10 wins, not including a Quarter Horse victory last week...
