Suspended for three days, Juan Hernandez takes advantage of rule that allows him to guide Adare Manor to win in Grade I Hirsch
And he scored, driving 3-5 favorite Adare Manor past Elm Drive in the stretch to win the Grade I Clement L. Hirsch Stakes and claim an automatic starting berth in this year’s Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Santa Anita.
The win was Adare Manor’s fourth straight under Hernandez — including two straight Grade IIs at Santa Anita. “Juan had to keep riding the whole way, but at the end, she’s a long-jumping filly. We’re happy with the win. We got a Grade I.” “I was a little worried around the turn,” trainer Doug Pederson said of Carmelita’s Man victory. “He was in between horses and it looked like he was backing up a little bit. But once Tiago got him outside and in the clear, it was good. He’s still got it, I guess.”Some horses are sprinters. Others are milers. And there are those who prefer marathons. But Henry Q, the fourth choice in today’s Grade III La Jolla Handicap, is a frequent flyer.
Today, the Henry Q tour reaches Del Mar, where Antonio Fresu will be the colt’s fifth jockey in eight career starts while carrying the high weight of 122 pounds in the 11/16-mile, $150,000 turf test for 3-year-olds.
