The Turfway jockey colony, which typically changes little from the start of Oaklawn in January until the approach of Keeneland in April, is about to grow one rider deeper. Leandro Goncalves, based at Fair Grounds this winter, is shifting his tack to Turfway Park and has three mounts Thursday evening. Goncalves – unable to get on track at Fair Grounds this winter, where he was 4 for 70 entering Friday’s races – is returning to his roots in a way. Though he has not been a Turfway regular in the winter, he is teaming up again with former agent Jimmy McNerney, who booked mounts for the jockey during his best years in 2011 and 2012, when he won 298 and 267 races, respectively. During that period, Goncalves was among the busiest jockeys around, sometimes riding at Churchill Downs before taking a small plane to ride an evening card at Indiana Grand. In each of those years, he rode in more than 1,400 races. McNerney, who also announces twice a week at Turfway as Mike Battaglia winds down his announcing career, said his aim is to have Goncalves ride regularly at Churchill and Indiana Grand, as he did in the past, though plane travel might not be necessary with the two tracks not overlapping on race days and post times as much as they once did. Goncalves, 33, likely will find himself more in demand at Turfway than he was at Fair Grounds, in part because McNerney already has the leading rider at Turfway in Albin Jimenez, and the agent has working relationships with many of the winningest trainers at the track. Although Fair Grounds did not go well for Goncalves, 2015 was not without success for him. He topped the standings at Canterbury Park last summer before an injury sidelined him until Fair Grounds. At Canterbury, he was the primary rider for trainer Tom Amoss, for whom McNerney hopes Goncalves can ride once again when Amoss brings his horses to Turfway at the conclusion of the Fair Grounds meet. Six mounts for Jimenez Jimenez, running away with the riding title during this winter-spring meet, is aboard the morning-line favorite in four of his six mounts at the track Sunday, including 9-5 Sweetsoutherndame in the featured sixth race, a $22,800, second-level allowance that also carries a $40,000 claiming condition. Sweetsoutherndame is one of four horses among the eight-horse lineup racing for the $40,000 tag, and her current form, established at this level, suggests she is a likely winner. She won a Dec. 18 race against similar company and followed that with a runner-up finish Jan. 17. A 5-year-old daughter of Colonel John, she has three wins and two seconds from six starts at Turfway. She is trained by Ben Colebrook for owner Oak Bluff Stakes. Full field expected for WEBN Turfway’s 3-year-old stakes series leading up to its signature race, the Grade 3, $500,000 Spiral on April 2, begins next Saturday, Feb. 20, with the $50,000 WEBN Stakes at 6 1/2 furlongs. There were 36 horses nominated, and a full field is expected, stakes coordinator Randy Wehrman said. Wehrman said he had yet to speak with all the trainers of nominated horses, but the leading local hopefuls include The Right Thing, who defeated older horses in a first-level allowance Feb. 5, and Oh Oz, a winner of three straight, including two at Turfway.
