Two-Time Winner at Saratoga, Handal a Young Trainer on the Rise

September 16th, 2016 BY Dan Tordjman

For a professional racehorse trainer, Ray Handal is pretty young. He’s 27 years old and has only been training on his own for about two years. Needless to say, Handal opened some eyes when he won atSaratoga Race Course — not once, but twice.

He got on the board, winning his first ever race at Saratoga on Aug. 18, with a horse named Winter Springs. Then, on Sept. 3, Handal pulled a shocker in winning his second race of the meet (from only five starters) with 13.50-1 longshot Gentrify.

Handal wasn’t born into a racing family, but he did spend a lot of time around the track, thanks to one of his biggest influences — his father. The up-and-coming trainer talked with America’s Best Racing about how he got started in racing, his recent wins and his future goals.

America’s Best Racing: Describe what it felt like winning your first-ever race at Saratoga.

Ray Handal: Surreal. It’s something that I have dreamt about since I was a young kid, and to finally have it come true is unbelievable. We put in so much work, blood, sweat and tears. We pushed and pushed and pushed. To finally break through — and on that kind of stage — is what makes it all worth it.

ABR: Not only did you win one race but you won a second race at the end of the meet. What was that like?

RH: The first win was getting the monkey off my back and the second was icing on the cake. The second win was extra special, being that it was a horse named Gentrify. I have had that horse since the winter meet at Aqueduct and claimed him for $16,000. He had lots of nagging problems that were holding him back from his true potential. My staff and I worked hard to get him right, and we took care of him and finally did get him right. Now, he’s taking care of us and running right.

ABR: You won two races from only five starters at Saratoga. What would you attribute that success to?

RH: A great staff. We have talented people who are patient and want to work toward the same end-goal as me. These horses test you and there is always an easy way and a right way.

ABR: Tell us about how you were first exposed to racing. Where did you grow up? What were some of your earliest racing memories?

RH: My dad was a gambler and took me to the track from as early as I can remember. He is visually impaired and has a degenerative disease called retinitis pigmentosa. When I was younger, he taught me to read the [Daily] Racing Form, and as I got older his vision got worse. So, he would depend on me to help him and it became our bonding time. We spent every weekend at the racetrack. We went to Caymanas Park when I lived in Jamaica, and then when we moved back to the U.S. (when I was 11) to Plantation, Fla., we went to Calder [Race Course] and Gulfstream [Park] in the winter.

ABR: When did you know you wanted to become a trainer?

RH: As early as I can remember. From when I was a very young kid, I always dreamed of growing up and doing this.

ABR: What is it about training horses that you find most satisfying or gratifying?

RH: I love how the horses improve mentally and physically, and seeing how happy they are. I get a lot of horses in, and some can run well while others can’t. But either way they are always happy and healthy, and that’s all I can ask for.

ABR: Who are some of your influences, both inside of racing and outside?

RH: In racing, Tony Dutrow really took me under his wing when I worked for him. I explained that I wanted to train and he gave me the keys to the car and let me do my thing when I was his assistant atAqueduct. He would give me guidance and a general way we did things, but left me to do most of the day-to-day decision-making. My dad is another person that is super influential and helps me to this day. It’s cool to get an outsider’s perspective and hear an opinion that isn’t on the track.

ABR: What would you describe as your approach to training?

RH: I like to evaluate the horses as individuals and tailor my training to the horse.

ABR: What is it like for a younger trainer trying to attract new clients and good horses?

RH: It’s very difficult. I try to reach out people through different avenues, like social media, and just make myself available for anyone interested in horse racing or anyone who has questions. It’s a tough sell, but I have won some good races on the biggest stage, so it’s a little bit easier now.

ABR: So, now that you have won two races at Saratoga, where do you go from here?

RH: I’m back at Belmont [Park] now, but I have my eye on a few races at Keeneland [Race Course] this fall. I want to take a few of my grass horses to Florida for the winter. I’ll keep my New York string at Belmont all year long though.

ABR: What are some of your immediate goals and your longer-term goals?

RH: I’m just focused on improving the horses and trying to bring in more owners that will give me the opportunity.

ABR: As a younger person in racing, what can racing do to attract new fans, and potentially trainers and other future participants in the industry?

RH: Just like I touched on earlier, being friendly to anyone who takes the time to talk horse racing; just showing people how much fun the sport is and how beautiful these horses are.

2016 Iroquois Stakes: Two For One


Photo: Maryland Jockey Club


Since the Iroquois Stakes was moved from late October/early November to mid-September we have seen more Kentucky Derby hopefuls, than eventual starters. Although, a few select horses such as Tapiture, Ride on Curlin and Mr. Z did get their chance to run for the roses at Churchill Downs the following spring. Their bids would fall short, but their journey from the first points race all the way to the Kentucky Derby was very unique. Today the long road begins again when the scoring resumes in the 2016 Iroquois Stakes.


At 3-1, Recruiting Ready is the morning line favorite. The son of Algorithms--Need nearly scored his first graded stakes win in his debut race at Churchill Downs on July 2. He did it by attempting to wire the eight other juveniles in the field with swift fractions of 21.76, 45.07 and 56.97 on the front end. The strategy looked to be a winner until his bid to draw clear was outmatched by Classic Empire who reeled him in the final furlong to win the Bashford Manor – G3.


Next time out the Horacio DePaz trainee looked even closer to a graded stakes win in the Saratoga Special – G2 on August 14. However, what appeared to be an easy win quickly turned into another runner up finish when Gunnevera soared home to steal the race at the wire from the heavy post time favorite. And then things got even worse when Recruiting Ready was disqualified from second and placed fourth for making contact with Tip Tap Tapizar near the three-eighths pole and knocking him off his stride.


Today, Gary Stevens will be in the saddle for the first time. The assumption is that Recruiting Ready will be back in position to get things right this time out, but he will also be stretching to out to over 1 mile for the first time in his young racing career.


The second choice on the morning line isThirstforlife. At 7-2 the son of Stay Thirsty - Promenade Girl returns to the track where he broke his maiden in his second career start. In between that effort and today was a respectable third place finish in the Best Pal – G3 at Del Mar, his graded stakes debut. In that contest Thirstforlife was in the mix throughout but he failed to fire a serious bid.


Florent Geroux returns for his second mount aboard Thirstforlife and first since he was in the irons for the colt’s career debut, a third place finish in the Kentucky Juvenile Stakes at Churchill Downs on May 5. Trainer Mark Casse will be attempting to win his second career Iroquois Stakes after notching his first in 2012 with Uncaptured.


Not This Time enters the Iroquois Stakes coming off his very first win for trainer Dale Romans. The one mile maiden victory by 10 lengths on the dirt at Ellis Park last month was his second career start. The son of Giant's Causeway – Miss Macy Sue is the co-third choice on the morning line.


Accompanying Not This Time at 4-1 isBlame Will, the son of Blame – Be My Prospect, trained by D. Wayne Lukas. This will also be his debut stakes race after a maiden win. Blame Will’s first victory came in his third career start and second at Saratoga after beginning his racing career here at Churchill Downs in June.


Lookin At Lee enters the Iroquois Stakes after winning back to back races at Ellis Park this summer. His first was in a maiden special weight race and followed by a more impressive score in the Ellis Park Juvenile Stakes. Though the stakes race was not graded and only featured five starters, the Steve Asmussen trainee by Lookin At Lucky – Langara Lass should be considered a live option for a nice price if his odds remain near his morning line mark of 6-1.


Honor Thy Father for trainer Kenny McPeek follows Lookin At Lee to the Iroquois Stakes from the Ellis Park Juvenile Stakes where he finished third. Prior to that the son of  To Honor and Serve – Hottie Dancer also broke his maiden at Ellis Park after striking out in his career debut at Churchill Downs last June. Coincidentally, Honor Thy Father finished behind Lookin At Lee in that race as well. Both horses missed the top three finishing fifth and sixth.


Just Move On moves into Churchill Downs for his first career start in the Bluegrass State after opening his career at Arlington Park earlier this summer. In two races from Chicago the Patrick Byrne trainee and son of Street Boss finished in the top three both times and won his last time out. Skinflint ships into Churchill Downs and the Kentucky racing circuit for the first time after breaking his maiden at Gulfstream Park last time out. The son of Super Saver, trained by Dane Kobiskie, was listed as the long shot on the morning line with odds of 20-1.


So this is your field for the kickoff point’s race in the Road to the 2017 Kentucky Derby. Keep in mind that the Iroquois Stakes is distinctive because this stakes race also represents the first Breeders’ Cup 2016 Win & You’re In qualifier for the Juvenile division

Spirited bidding among domestic and foreign buyers, double-digit increases in results and the sale of a Pioneerof the Nile colt for $700,000 headlined Sunday’s sixth session of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

Competition for quality yearlings spurred healthy results, with active participation continuing from major domestic as well as buyers from England, Ireland, Russia, Korea, Panama and Puerto Rico. Among the leading trainers still shopping on Sunday were Racing Hall of Famers Bob Baffert and Steve Asmussen, and Mark Casse, Dale Romans, Tom Amoss, Ralph Nicks and Al Stall Jr., among others.

On Sunday, which marked the first day of the Book 3 portion of the sale, Keeneland sold 269 yearlings for $23,243,000, up 18.5 percent from the same session in 2015 when 266 horses bought $19,618,000. The average increased 17.16 percent from $73,752 to $86,405. The median of $70,000 rose 27.27 percent from last year’s $55,000.

Through six sessions, 1,081 yearlings have been sold for $212,749,000, down 5.25 percent from the corresponding period last year when 1,234 horses sold for $224,536,000. The cumulative average of $196,808 increased 8.16 percent from $181,958 in 2015. The median of $130,000 remained unchanged from last year.

Tom Haughey’s PTK LLC bought the day’s top-priced yearling, who is a half-brother to stakes winner Softly Lit. He was consigned by Peter O’Callaghan’s Woods Edge Farm, agent.

“He was a spectacular-looking horse. I loved him,” Haughey said, adding that he had purchased two half-sisters to the colt, the aforementioned Softly Lit, by Latent Heat, and winner Flickering, by Twirling Candy, at previous Keeneland September Sales.

The second-highest price was the $410,000 spent by Martin Anthony for a Mineshaft filly out of the Empire Maker mare Scenic Drive. The filly’s second dam, Mon Belle, by Maria’s Mon, is a full sister to 2001 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Monarchos. She was consigned by Lane’s End, agent.

Baffert paid $400,000 for a colt from the first crop of Grade 1 winner Violence. Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, agent, the colt is out of the graded stakes-placed With Approval mare Bala, and is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Bay to Bay. 

Lane’s End Farm was the session’s leading consignor, selling 26 yearlings for $3,296,000.

The day’s leading buyer was Mike Ryan, agent, who spent $1,320,000 for six yearlings.

The September Sale continues through Sunday, Sept. 25, with all sessions beginning at 10 a.m. ET. The entire sale is streamed live at Keeneland.com.
