FOR PLESA, a BITTERSWEET ENDING to CALDER SAGA It Has Been Quite the Year for Bated Breath (GB), the Calder/Gulfstream Park West Closed Its Doors on Saturday MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2020 FOR PLESA, A BITTERSWEET VIADERA, BLOWOUT GIVE BROWN ONE-TWO IN MATRIARCH ENDING TO CALDER SAGA Chad Brown stablemates Viadera (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) and Blowout (GB) (Dansili {GB}) took their show on the road, but the result was the same as once again Juddmonte Farms= Viadera got the best of her gutsy rival to win the GI Matriarch S. with a dramatic late surge at Del Mar Sunday. When the duo last met, Viadera was just able to get to the line first after Blowout set a torrid pace in the Sept. 25 GIII Noble Damsel S. at Belmont Park. Blowout zipped out to the early lead at Del Mar Sunday, was clear around the first turn and completed the opening quarter in :22.62, but Juddmonte homebred Juliet Foxtrot (GB) (Dansili {GB}) surged to the lead midway down the backstretch and was two lengths in front of Blowout through a half in :45.63 as Viadera remained unhurried near the back of the pack.

Plesa won for the 1,326th time at Calder/GPW Saturday when Diligent (Temple City) won the final race that will ever be run at the South Florida racetrack. AI didn=t ask anybody to put me in the last race. It just happened. Like it was meant to be,@ said Plesa, a member of the Calder Hall of Fame. It was an emotional day for Plesa, made even more so by the twist of fate that saw him win the final race. Calder wasn=t beautiful like Hialeah and the racing could never compare to Gulfstream, but to those who called it home, it was a special place where careers and great memories were made. That it is gone is hard to accept. ATo see it go, that=s life,@ Plesa said. ABut it=s like losing someone that was close to you. And I=m not the only one who feels that way.@ Plesa was working for his father, who had a string at the time for Fred W. Hooper, when Calder opened in 1971 and drew so many people for the first ever card that thousands of fans had to be turned away because the stands were filled to capacity.

Calder is also where he me his wife, Laurie. Over the years, Plesa has learned to accept change, and he knows that Calder is far from the first track to close in an era where it is hard to make a profit operating a racetrack. The hard part, for him, has been watching racing become so impersonal, much less of a sport than it was 1971 and, now, much more a business. Laurie and Eddie Plesa | Equi-Photo Calder was purchased in 1999 by Churchill Downs, a company where little else matters but the bottom line. When Churchill opened a casino at Calder in 2010, it needed racing because, without offering some sort of pari-mutuel wagering, it could not have a casino license. So eager to get out of the racing business in South Florida, Churchill entered into a six-year agreement in 2014 with the Stronach Group (TSG), the owners of Gulfstream. The Stronach Group would take over the racing operation at Calder, which was renamed Gulfstream Park West. Well before the lease expired, Churchill had the Calder grandstand torn down in 2015. Some four years later and with the deal with the Stronach Group about to expire, Churchill made an argument to the state=s Department of Business and Professional Regulation=s Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering that any form of pari-mutuel wagering would suffice when it came to the casino license. Churchill announced plans to go forward with a jai alia fronton, which is much less expensive to operate than a racetrack. Both the regulators and the courts signed off on their plan, which sealed Calder=s fate. AChurchill Downs, they=re business oriented,@ Plesa said. ABut to a lot of people, horse racing isn=t a business, per se. The owners, they=re not in it to make money.@ Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • NOVEMBER 30, 2020 Plesa continued, AThe owners are in it because they enjoy the sport. They don=t want to lose a ton of money but, to them, this is not a business. For Churchill Downs, all that matters is the business aspect. So you have a clashing of cultures, so to speak. Who=s right and who=s wrong? It depends on what side of the fence you are sitting on.@ Sitting on the racing side of the fence, Plesa said Churchill did everything it could to run Calder into the ground. AAbsolutely, there is a lot of anger among the horsemen and it=s all directed at one company, Churchill Downs,@ he said. AFrom my standpoint, they took a viable racetrack that was important, not just to South Florida, but to horse racing as a whole and they had no regard for it. To see what they did, there are many examples I can talk about. There was the time the escalator up to the second floor broke and they never bothered to fix it for the longest period of time. That was part of the plan. They didn=t want to spend any money. When they closed down the floor that housed the Hall of Fame, people asked what did you do with all the pictures and there was no answer. They must have thrown them all away. They stopped maintaining the barn area. They literally tore down the clubhouse and the grandstand. Then Churchill Downs snuck behind everyone=s back and they got a jai alia license so they could extricate themselves from the agreement that brought them a casino in the first place and so that they don=t have to pay the horsemen any money.@ It wasn=t that long ago that South Florida had three racetracks and Calder, Hialeah and Gulfstream were in a never-ending fight for the choicest dates. Now, Gulfstream is all that is left and will go forward in 2021 with the unenviable task of having to operate year-round. It remains to be seen how its turf course will hold up without getting any sort of meaningful break. AThere are some issues that will have to be looked at,@ Plesa said. ACan you race 12 months of the year on one racetrack and on a turf course that is used so frequently? I don=t know. Will there be a little break in between meets? I don=t know. How long of a break would it be? It=s going to be an interesting transition without the two months of racing away from Gulfstream Park.@ After Diligent=s victory, Plesa, who did not attend Saturday=s card, said he heard from about 100 people who reached out to congratulate him on winning the race.

  • Keeneland Marches Into Book 3

In a release pushed across its social media channels Thursday afternoon, Sackatoga announced that Manny Franco, who had ridden Tiz the Law to victories in the GI Curlin Florida Derby, GI Belmont S. and GI Runhappy Travers S. and to a runner-up effort to Authentic (Into Mischief) in the GI Kentucky Derby, would be replaced by Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez. In last Saturday=s GI Longines Breeders= Cup Classic, Tiz the Law broke alertly from gate two, but was taken hold of by Franco to sit behind the pacesetting Authentic.

(16 Starters) Overseas Expert Column by Naohiro Goda Both LUCKY NINE and GREEN BIRDIE ran as well as I expected in the G2 Centaur Stakes at Hanshin on 11 September. Both came out of the race well and moved from Hanshin to Nakayama Racecourse on 14 September. It was an uneventful trip even though it took nine hours and five minutes by horse van, and they have settled very well in the barn area at Nakayama Racecourse. LUCKY NINE, second in the Centaur Stakes, and GREEN BIRDIE, who was demoted from 4th in the same race to 14th in the stewards’ room, were lightly breezed for 800m on the grass course at Nakayama on 23 September. They were given another breeze on the same course on 27 September. Both Hong Kong raiders look to be happy and are enjoying their time in Japan, and I believe they are ready to produce their best form on 2 October.
