HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $14,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Hotitude - She keeps outrunning my expectations for her; dead late closer is always at the mercy of the early pace.

Sum Mistake - Knapp wins with a lot of back class droppers in spots like this; tactical speed to sit a nice trip.

Long Shot - Delphina

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $44,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Tates Queen - Gomez exits another to ride for Harty; filly is bred to be any kind and appears to be moving forward.

Sunday Geisha - Logical chalk getting sincere class relief exiting two Grade 1 stakes for this; sure to be way overbet.

Long Shot - Sweet August Moon

Race 3 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $10,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Carrie's A Jewel - Red flag drop from the West barn; impossible to ignore the gigantic class edge she holds in here.

Ten Tenors - Her win two back at Fairplex is fast enough to upset these; makes his debut over the Cushion track.

Long Shot - Kentucky Waltz

Race 4 - 7 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

You Lift Me Up - This is a betting stable and this filly should be ready to fire; parking lot post OK in a slow field.

Wild Miss R N - Like two changes taking place, Hollendorfer training and Baze riding; found her best stride too late.

Long Shot - Forgiveandforget

Race 5 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $48,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Supposition - Exits two Grade 1 races for this very winable spot; Frankel loves races where he's shooting fish in a barrel.

Nootka Island - Tried hard but didn't get much racing luck down the hill; Mitchell filly is not outclassed by these.

Long Shot - G. I. Betty

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Partywithlarryz - Good try last time considering a bit of trouble; tactical speed to maintain good inside position.

Bertie Boy - Got a test drive in last off an 8-month hiatus; Smith needs to ride hard every time in a crowded jock's room.

Long Shot - Dee's Fling

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $50,000, Optional claiming 462,500, 3-year-olds and up

Redhotandrolling - May not get much respect winning at Fairplex, but this guy has some serious gas; the one to catch.

Kapalua Bay - Suspect Valdivia can picture a perfect trip stalking the Mullins speed demon; the test will come late.

Long Shot - Haraldo

Race 8 - 7 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Mystic Geisha - When I see a rider switch to Gomez, his nickname might as well be "the closer"; gets the job done again.

Mangyan Model - The extra furlong tonight should really help her; she's a sluggish filly who finds her best stride late.

Long Shot - Line Dancing

Best Bet - Mystic Geisha (race 8)

Hollywood Wednesday- Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 16/3/$19.00; Long Shots, 8/3/$33.60; Best Bet, 1/1/$2.80

Hollywood Totals - 16/4/$19.00; Long Shots, 8/3/$33.60; Best Bets, 1/1/$2.80
