Horse Racing, Hollywood Park, June 14

Today at Hollywood Park

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 5 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

1 Papa G. T. - Ran evenly as a beaten favorite in career debut; Doug O'Neill takes blinkers off and adds Mario Gutierrez.

6 Cash Empire - Tepid chalk does not look like one of Bob Baffert's best; cost only $30K at auction, still a danger with Rafael Bejarano.

Long Shot - 4 Carson's Crown

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

5 A Pint for Mary - Claimed by Vann Belvoir who has been productive with this move; clearly not outclassed at the bottom rung.

6 What a Rush - Always respect Mike Mitchell; third start off the claim, his race two back is fast enough to defeat these.

Long Shot - 7 Brady Blue Eyes

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $35,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

6 Always a Chance - Third start off a layoff is often times a best effort; ran a better than looked third last time out.

5 My Diane - Been knocking on the door for John Sadler; like that he continues to protect her showing he has not given up yet.

Long Shot - 2 Running Isabella

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 Giant Steps - Claimed by Bill Morey at GGF and ran well in BHP debut; like the confidence he showed and the hiring of Rafael Bejarano.

5 Arabian Storm - Looks cheap with Turf Paradise PPs, but take a look at the rest; Mike Chambers is a very good trainer who wins races.

Long Shot - 1 Already There

Race 5 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $25,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

3 - Lift Our Luck - Ran like a horse in need of a race off a 10-month hiatus; back class to improve while a lot tighter tonight.

4 Mrs. Rosa - Red flag chalk off the huge class drop by Richard Mandella; like the vote of Rafael Bejarano, but counts the legs.

Long Shot - 2 Distant Glow

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

11 Jay's Firetruck - Leap of faith that the connections of John Sadler and Martin Garcia can upset; need not be much in this group.

2 Tiz Victorious - Tepid chalk in a truly moribund field; it's unusual to see Garrett Gomez riding in such a cheap race.

Long Shot - 7 Swiss Emperor

Race 7 - 1 1/2 miles (turf), Purse $52,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

5 Let's Do It - Claimed by Bob Hess off a sharp try for $25K; like the fact that Garrett Gomez jumps on board, value at 6/1 odds.

1 Porfido - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; notice that Garrett Gomez takes off to ride my top choice for Bob Hess, Let's Do It.

Long Shot - 2 Clearance Clarence

Race 8 - 5 furlongs, Purse $29,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 2-year-olds

5 Hawkeye Declan - FTS from John Sadler and Martin Pedroza; leap of faith that these connections can upset in such a nothing field.

10 A Thousand Aces - So-so debut in a fast paced MSW; taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming for Doug O'Neill.

Long Shot - 4 Scherer Magic

Best Bet - 4 Giant Steps (race 4)
