DEL MAR, Calif. (Sept. 5, 2022) — Owner-breeder Jaime Renella’s Chismosa became the first horse at the Del Mar summer meet to score a triple when she won the $125,000 Generous Portion Stakes on the Labor Day Monday card. The daughter of Clubhouse Ride won the California-bred stakes by a length and three quarters to complete her seaside three-bagger with a straight maiden race (July 23), the CTBA Stakes (August 7) and today’s six-panel dash.
Chimosa again was ridden by Edgar Payeras, the young rider who won his first Del Mar stakes when he clicked with her in the CTBA. She is trained by veteran Rafael DeLeon. The dark filly earned a first prize of $71,250 to increase her earnings to $190,500.
“She is a power horse,” said DeLeon. “She’s been training super every day. Soon as he threw her to the rail (in the stretch) I knew I was going to win the race. The jockey (Edgar Payeras), he knows the filly real good; he works her every single time and if she gets behind a horse, she responds and tries to pass.”
Finishing second in the 30th edition of the Generous Portion was Repole Stable’s Uncontrollable, who had seven lengths on Reddam Racing’s Fun Money.
Chimosa ran the six furlongs in 1:11.18. As the 2-1 favorite she returned $6.00, $3.20 and $2.40. Uncontrollable paid $3.40 and $2.60, while Fun Money returned $3.20 to show.
The day’s racing was extremely formful with eight favorites winning the 10 races. The longest price on the day was $7.40 to win on Fried Asparagus in the day’s 6th Race.
Leading rider Juan Hernandez was the day’s riding star with four winners. Each of them was a favorite.
Racing will resume at Del Mar on Friday with a first post of 3 p.m.
