HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 7:05 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $13,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Soldier Betty - Vladimir Cerin drops her to the bottom in disgust; he won first out with her, but no races since.

Twodollarstowin - Big rider switch to Joel Rosario; ground saving rail trip, has enough back class to grind out a win.

Long Shot - Dona Mary

Race 2 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $10,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Cenizo - Rough trip last time under green apprentice rider; Julio Canani switches to Martin Pedroza for the money shot.

Pretty Kinzie - Good third last time while facing much tougher; drops in class and should be grinding in the lane.

Long Shot - Sweet and Jazzy

Race 3 - 5 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Table for One - Made a winning move in last, albeit a stride late; Rafael Bejarano returns, strictly the one to beat.

Leslie Rules - Speedball gets more focus with first time blinkers on tonight; Joel Rosario plays catch me if you can.

Long Shot - Desperate Measures

Race 4 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $41,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Sammartino - If you're a wrestling fan, you must remember Bruno Sammartino; no idea if this guy is named for him.

Bacara - The Thoroughbred Legends horses have all fired for Bob Baffert; no sense sending out a short horse in here.

Long Shot - Sulution

Race 5 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $44,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Tribal Justice - I don't relish the two favorite, an upset is looming; he has won three times over a synthetic surface.

Isle of Giant's - Not often you see a horse win by more than 16 lengths; sure to be overbet off a monster effort.

Long Shot - Lease of Life

Race 6 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Sipnzin - Ran great in debut, nothing she could be but settle for second; flattered when Can't Topper won next out.

Sweet Patricia - Grinder has now run second in two straight races; tactical speed to sit mid-pack and grind.

Long Shot - Faith Colleen

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), $60,000 Culver City, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Minute Limit - Chased the speedy Unzip Me who set very soft fractions in last; her best category has become turf sprints.

Porto Marmay - Ran well in last off a 2-month hiatus; her specialty too is grass sprints, sits and makes one brush.

Long Shot - Enumclaw Girl

Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Joint Adventure - Returns from a 10-month hiatus for new trainer Ron Ellis; well spotted dropping from MSW to maiden claiming.

Make It Mine - Like the subtle turn back in distance tonight; suspect Joel Rosario may take a hold and try to finish.

Long Shot - Misty Miss Joanna

Best Bet - Minute Limit (race 7)

Hollywood Park Thursday - Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 16/6/$38.40; Long Shots, 7/1/$20.0; Best Bet, 1/1/$3.00
