Coach Michael McCarthy’s late decision to enterThat’s Harvardin theHollywood Gold Cup plus a rare westward trip by jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. resulted in victory in the $400,000 Tier 1 race at Santa Anita on Memorial Day.

With a brisk pace up front, Ortiz and There Goes Harvard saved ground throughout before uncorking a late flurry for run-down favorite Defunded and scoring from a length at 8-1.

It was a very late decision (to come in), but it’s a short field and the horse was doing well, McCarthy said. It was definitely worth the try.

It was the first Gold Cup win in Hollywood for McCarthy and New York-based Ortiz, a three-time Eclipse Award-winning jockey. For McCarthy, the Gold Cup count came on his third try. In 2018 he finished third with favorite City of Light. Then last year Rushie finished fourth.

It’s great, McCarthy said. I have already tried it twice. City of Light couldn’t get the job done as the favorite. But winning a race like this is really special. … These are the types of errands you get up for in the morning.

After There Goes Harvard and Defunded on the wire, tied favorite Royal Ship finished 3 1/4 lengths behind, and Stilleto Boy. Long Shot Spielberg was the last.

About half an hour after the Hollywood Gold Cup, Ortiz added a fourth win to the schedule by riding Count Again to victory in the Shoemaker Mile (G1), one win and you’re set for the Breeders Cup Mile.

All the fans here, it reminds me of home. I like it, Ortiz said after the Gold Cup.

Defunded, a former Bob Baffert intern who had just won an allowance on May 8 after a nine-month layoff, led the way in the 1 1/4 mile Gold Cup under Abel Cedillo. They cut fractions of 22.76, 46.13, 1:10.99 and 1:35.85 for the first mile.

Meanwhile, a There Goes Harvard follow-up has been moved to both lanes of the clubhouse bend for an unobstructed racing spot. Given his cue by Ortiz, There Goes Harvard kicked into high gear and passed Defunded on the final furrow to win with a final time of 2:02.66 on the fast main track.

I had a perfect trip, Ortiz said. There Goes Harvard was struggling a bit with me in the first corner. They went a little fast. I tried to let him relax, settle down a bit, and he came back at me from behind. It was the key. After that, I was just biding my time and kicked him out on the stretch, and he responded really well.

There Goes Harvard brought in $19.60 as the second longest hit on the board. Will Take Charge’s son of mare Fusaichi Pegasus Soul Crusader has won three straight wins for owner-breeder Cannon Thoroughbreds, including on turf last time out.

McCarthy indicated that there is likely a lot more to come for There Goes Harvard.

Pedigree says the older it gets, the better it should improve, he said. It should be fun to see what happens here the latter part of the year.

There Goes Harvard’s only previous entry try was a second-place finish in last summer’s Ellis Park Derby.
