DERBY DREAMS BORN DOWN on the >BAYOU= SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 2020 DERBY DREAMS BORN RAMON DOMINGUEZ GOES TO WORK FOR NEW YORK RACE TRACK CHAPLAINCY OF DOWN ON THE >BAYOU= AMERICA by Bill Finley Ramon Dominguez has not ridden since suffering a head injury in a 2013 spill, but he never did step away from the sport. The Hall of Fame jockey now devotes much of his time to his role as the president of the New York Race Track Chaplaincy of America, a job he took on last month. The work of the racetrack chaplains is always important but never more so than now, as the coronavirus has upended life on the racetrack for many, particularly backstretch workers. The job has thrust Dominguez back into the spotlight as he has done public service announcements for the New York chaplains group, been all over social media and is featured in a press release asking people to make donations. It's about giving back.

Louisiana Derby--there was absolutely no chance that Wells Bayou (Lookin At Lucky) was going to go off at anything approaching his morning line of 8-1. Those that backed him were instead forced to swallow a price in the vicinity of 3-1, but the bay did not let them down, treating his 13 rivals to a front- running, 1 1/2-length beating. Exiting the Feb. 17 GIII Southwest S. in which he laid down swift early fractions before sticking on gamely to be second behind Silver Prospector (Declaration of War), Wells Bayou loomed the speed of the speed and bounced very alertly from gate three. Ny Traffic (Cross Traffic) came across from his double-digit draw to apply some pressure, with Mailman Money (Goldencents) close up and GII Risen Star S. winner Modernist (Uncle Mo) three deep, but prominent. The opening couple of furlongs were traversed in :23.56, but Florent Geroux was able to get Wells Bayou to relax enough through an internal half mile in :48.86, good for a composite six-furlong split of 1:12.42, with little change in the order behind.

People are being asked to either make an online donation or to drop off food at locations near the track. With racing having shut down in New York, there could soon be a dire need for food and supplies for the workers. "They are, without a question, the backbone of our sport," he said of the backstretch workers. "In times like this, more than ever, we need to come together to see how we can help. When it comes to food, that is our primary basic need. Most of us have access to it and can go to a grocery store. Sometimes these people don't have a car. So we are happy to come together, and when I say we, I mean the whole racing community.

    146th Running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks Sets Record as Fastest in History as Shedaresthedevil Claims the Lillies September 4, 2020 LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 146th running of the $1.25 million Longines Kentucky Oaks (Grade I) saw Shedaresthedevil claim the Lillies in the fastest Kentucky Oaks race in history at 1:48.28. Shedaresthedevil crossed the finish line first in a field of nine under sunny skies and fast track conditions. “Congratulations to the connections of Shedaresthedevil and special thanks to all of the horse owners, trainers and jockeys who enthusiastically cooperated through a number of protocol changes this year,” said Kevin Flanery, President of Churchill Downs Racetrack. “We were thrilled to be able to host a virtual Survivors tribute and to continue our charitable partnership with Norton Breast Health Center and Derby Divas.” Shedaresthedevil, owned by Qatar Racing, Flurry Racing Stables and Big Aut Farms and bred in Kentucky by WinStar Farm, LLC, passed ultimate third-place finisher Gamine at the 1/8th pole and held off a late run from runner-up Swiss Skydiver to win the Longines Kentucky Oaks by 1 1/2 lengths at odds of 15-1 in a final time of 1:48.28, the fastest in Kentucky Oaks history. Jockey Florent Geroux and trainer Brad Cox connected for their second Oaks victory, having also shared victory in 2018 with today’s La Troienne victor, Monomoy Girl. Shedaresthedevil is the daughter of Daredevil out of Starship Warpspeed and now has lifetime earnings of over $1.2 million. The Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade presented by Kroger was celebrated virtually on Kentucky Derby social media channels with a video montage of the 146 survivors’ powerful and uplifting stories.
