HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1:20 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), $75,000 Great Lady M., Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Fan Time - Tactical speed to sit just off the flank of speedball River's Prayer; ran very well in a KY Derby week sod stakes.

River's Prayer - Logical chalk has excelled down the hillside course in Arcadia; she has little experience on Inglewood turf.

Long Shot - No Lullaby

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $21,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Eagle Ridge - Making his first start for Periban who is taking the blinkers off; like that bugboy Talamo is taking the call.

Cryptomite - Tepid chalk switching from barns, from Mullins to Lewis; she's taking the blinkers off too, will try to relax.

Long Shot - Awesome Graf

Race 3 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $44,000, Claiming $62,500, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Lyrical Sound - Small edge in a very difficult heat to handicap; she was closing well last time while facing better company.

Sweet Ambition - Winless in nine turf starts, she'll be value and I like that Nakatani is riding; best stride will come late.

Long Shot - Gold On Gossamer

Race 4 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Mighty Fine Wine - Among those with experience, her limited resume looks best; showed high cheese in last before tiring late.

I Dig Her - FTS from the O'Neill barn gets leading rider Baze; she is not burning up the work tab, but has win early pedigree.

Long Shot - Clever Lady

Race 5 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $39,000, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds

Luberon - Has run two even races on turf, now is dropping in for a claiming price; Pedroza can sit a trip and grind it out late.

Saintly Son - Interesting Mullins drop down from the rail; has excellent speed and the wood, with the turf rail out 15 feet.

Long Shot - Roosevelt

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds

Battle Too - Just missed last time in a better than looked effort; not thrilled with Garcia's riding, but this horse fits.

Mr. Big - Made a big move in debut, but ran out of gas late; Shirreffs babies typical improve with racing, expect better.

Long Shot - Tiztime

Race 7 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $49,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

One On the House - Typically I don't like the rail leaving the chute; this guy got such a passive ride in last, will improve.

General Bueno - Sharp MSW win at a paltry 2/5 odds; the Mig can sit still, let the others go, and find his best stride late.

Long Shot - Light of the World

Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $8,000, 4-year-olds and up

Garfield Park - Set a suicidal pace down the hillside course last time we saw him; takes an enormous class drop to face easier.

Largo - Making his third start off a 2-month hiatus; has shown he does not need the lead to run his best, has some back class.

Long Shot - Lead Stealer

Best Bet - One On the House (race 7)

Hollywood Wednesday - Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 15/4/$32.00; Long Shots, 8/2/$15.40; Best Bet, 1/0/$0

Hollywood Totals - 635/147/$948.00; Long Shots, 311/43/$448.60; Best Bets, 37/16/$63.60
