Raised in a racing family, Matthew Chew has been successfully training thoroughbred race horses since 1982. A third-generation horseman, Matt operates the Matthew Chew Racing Stables in both northern and southern California. He regularly runs horses at Santa Anita, Del Mar, Hollywood Park, Golden Gate and Bay Meadows. Chew Racing designs a training regimen unique to each horse. Assessing the individual characteristics of each of the animals in his care, Matthew develops a program that builds on their strengths. The training regimen asserts consistency in treatment, and is tailored to the abilities and progress of each horse; adjustments are based on performance during training. Each horse is efficiently driven to the peak of its athleticism with careful attention to nutrition, exercise routines, and therapeutic strategies that develop the best characteristics of each horse; and veterinary intervention is used only when necessary. Horses are scheduled into races to win. Chew Racing Notes Score at Santa Anita January at Santa Anita is full of surprises. After leading two runners to the receiving barn on a Monday race day, the crew was surprised to find the racing cancelled due to the big rainstorm that shut down a lot of activity in the foothills. Chew Racing led two horses to the barn later in the month and was pretty happy wih the outcome. Space Age Lovesong owned by Jim Schlagel, and Wedding Gift owned by Dan Stathatos, went 6 1/2 down the hill and came in First and Third respectively. With nice rides by Joe Talamo, and Iggy Puglisi, the win made the third place finish easier to take. With Wedding Gift off at 69 to 1, her finish surprised a few, but not the rider Puglisi. Iggy thought he could win the race and has high hopes for the future. The winner was represented by Cameron Schlagel, son of Jim, who is an accomplished team roper as well as a pony rider for Matt Chew many mornings. Matt was pleased about the win and credits a team effort for fine the preparation. Matt said "From the exercise rider, to the grooms, to the hotwalkers, everyone works together to get ready for the race. We are all happy to have the hard work rewarded with a win today." Chew Racing is looking forward to the rest of the meet.
