HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Wada Falls - Just missed last time in a solid effort; there isn't much speed in here so her job might be easier tonight.

Stroppy - Good even try in last off a 9-month hiatus; Julio Canani mare has every right to improve under Martin Pedroza.

Long Shot - Dumaani's Gold

Race 2 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $41,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Live and Love - Filly from WinStar Farms is bred to go 2 turns; expect improvement with experience and more distance.

Saint Isabelle - Tepid chalk in a wide-open race; bested many of these in last, but not by a whole lot.

Long Shot - Fashion Trend

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up

Cajun Gent - Solid second in last off a 2-month hiatus; tactical speed to lead or follow close up.

Capt. Sparrow - Claimed by Jack Carava off a lousy race at Golden Gate; he's better than that and has some back class.

Long Shot - Bonfante

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Maddyaboutyou - Like the rail to save ground in this route race; has good tactical speed to protect her inside position.

Afleet Breeze - Tepid chalk has a disadvantage of a parking lot post; key will be for Rafael Bejarano to move inside.

Long Shot - Real Obvious

Race 5 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $36,000, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds

Format V - Should see plenty of speed to his inside; Rafael Bejarano can sit a trip and grind it out late.

Grace Upon Grace - Tepid chalk has finished in the money in 3 straight Inglewood turf sprints; eligible for another paycheck.

Long Shot - Daylight Storm

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

Guns On The Table - Recent form is a big edge over those prepping for Del Mar off a long layoff; from Bob Baffert barn too.

Truest Legend - Private purchase last summer showed unlimited potential; has tons of gas, put him on the engine.

Long Shot - Hard Bill

Race 7 - 1 1/8th miles (turf), $150,000 American Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Global Hunter - Ran like a short horse in the Shoemaker; switch to Brice Blanc, he should show improvement in here.

Compari - He is a need-the-lead type runner to succeed; was unable to get to the top in the Shoemaker, sells out today.

Long Shot - Riviera Cocktail

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $44,000, Allowancem, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Pure Class - Third start off a 7-month hiatus; she has been a classic underachiever, but I know the barn likes her.

Kayce Ace - Was third, but in another area code, last time; big rider switch to Rafael Bejarano for the money shot.

Long Shot - Hard Way Ten

Race 9 - 5 furlongs (turf), Purse $41,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

D'pendable - FTS from the white hot Bob Baffert barn; the jocks ride hard for Baffert trying to curry his favor.

American Wildcat - Second best as a beaten favorite in 2 starts; Victor Espinoza takes over to try and finish the deal.

Long Shot - Robie the Cat

Best Bet - Maddyaboutyou (race 4)
