HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 7:05 p.m.

Race 1 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

Bring It - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; should find his friends in this field.

Pride of Wilshire - Tepid chalk taking the blinkers off today; his race two back is fast enough to graduate in here.

Long Shot - Big Wags

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $17,000, Claiming $10,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Twodollarstowin - Winless this year, but has a proven fondness for Hollywood Park; saves ground and grinds it out late.

Look to the Sky - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; has proven that she is lengths better on synthetics than sod.

Long Shot - Lucy Got Lucky

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $44,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

I Can Hear - Outran his 30/1 odds in last; closer has made a nice transition in stretching out around 2 turns.

Silver Heat - Consistent sort is usually around at the finish; switches to Joe Talamo as Tyler Baze is riding Road to Reason.

Long Shot - Warrens Highroller

Race 4 - 7 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Bandeira Union - Beaten favorite ran a stinker in last at Golden Gate; drops down in class to face his friends.

Wells Furgo - Like the turn back in distance from route to elongated sprint; maybe can repeat his maiden claiming victory.

Long Shot - Halo's Law

Race 5 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $37,000, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

Kris Silver - Speedy sort should benefit from the turf rail out 15 feet; Mike Smith is best at running and gunning.

Sir Dave - Slid down the claiming ladder where he was productive for $40K; like that Rafael Bejarano remains loyal.

Long Shot - Crossing the Line

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $21,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Camicory - Leap of faith that Rafael Bejarano riding for Ina Hajek is a good thing; sprinter stretching out tonight.

Cantona - Woke up last time at 24/1 with a big effort; if he can repeat that effort, or improve a step, he can win.

Long Shot - Outrageous Fortune

Race 7 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $44,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds

Fantastic Pick - Appears on the verge of a break-out race; well regarded, was favored in the La Puente two back.

Hockley - Tepid chalk in another wide open affair; has tactical speed to sit a good trip despite the outside post.

Long Shot - Coloursoftheglen

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, Purse $15,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

The Skinny Man - Claimed by John Sadler, immediate respect over that; big rider switch to Joel Rosario for the money shot.

Fleeting Summer - Just missed in a well meant career debut; chance to upset with just a step of improvement.

Long Shot - Single Shot
