Juan Gutierrez

JUAN GUTIERREZ TWO WINS SHY OF HISTORY

Chances are excellent that Emerald Downs will have a new jockey atop its all-time leader board this week. Juan Gutierrez begins the week with 1,418 career wins at Emerald Downs–one back of Gallyn Mitchell–and is scheduled to ride in 18 of 19 races this week including mounts on six morning line favorites.

The record could fall in the first two races Wednesday, as Gutierrez rides 2 to 1 morning line favorite Sunshine Emily in the first race and 2 to 1 morning line favorite Mike Operator in the second race. He also has the mount on morning line favorite Stay in Grace in the $17,000 feature race for older fillies and mares.

Gutierrez, who rode his first Emerald Downs winner in 2000, also ranks first in Emerald Downs’ purse earnings with $15,228,161 and third in stakes wins with 68, including four this season. He guided Anothertwistafate to a 4 1/2-length victory in the $100,000 Longacres Mile (G3) on Sept. 10.

Gutierrez has 2,031 career wins, achieving the 2,000 milestone aboard Semi Sweet on July 23.

WEEK 17: 19 RACES

Total entries for Week 16 are 145 horses in 19 races or 7.6 a race. Through 32 days (June 24-Oct. 8) average starters per race is 7.44 horses (2434 starters, 327 races).

WEEK 17 FEATURE RACES

Stay in Grace

Wednesday, Oct. 14, Race 8, $17,000 purse, $10,000 starter/$15,000 claiming, 3-year-olds & up, fillies & mares, 6 Furlongs: Stay in Grace might have benefited from a sloppy track while beating several of these same horses last month, but her 9 for 21 lifetime mark is imposing and she looks to be the controlling speed again. Close the Show Lo hopped at the start to lose her best chance while finishing fourth to Stay in Grace four weeks ago. She is a consistent 7-year-old with a decent stretch kick. B C Z Middleton has lost 10 straight since beating allowance foes 20 months ago in Phoenix. A multiple stakes winner at this track, she gets a rider switch after finishing third in both outs this season.

Papa’s Golden Boy

Thursday, Oct. 15, Race 1: $20,900 allowance, 3-year-olds & up, 6 furlongs: Thursday’s card begins with a five-pack at six panels for a $20,900 pot. Papa’s Golden Boy cuts back after a pair of routes and will be long gone with anything close to his July 16 effort. Papa has rare speed and is always fun to watch. Hard to Deny nearly held off Unmachable on a sloppy track three weeks ago, but a new strategy will have to be employed because Papa’s Golden Boy will have to be caught. Frolic and Detour bobbled at the break and finished sixth as the favorite six weeks ago. He has some good races on his resume and could get a favorable pace scenario. Stand To is an improving 3-year-old but faces a tall task in his first against winners. You Go Girl, a 3-year-old filly, responded with back to back victories when lowered into the claiming ranks but needs another step forward to threaten here.
