TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK
By Richard Eng
Post Time 11 p.m.
Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $12,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Lovely Lolly - Dead late closer ran a much improved race in last; most of these look pretty sad.
Imadethecashcall - Logical chalk appears to be lone early speed; Christian Reyes must nurse her energy.
Long Shot - Platinum Stiletto
Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $38,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Rising Honour - Good second to a next out winner in Michael's Rose; will be overlooked with short favorite.
Devine Actress - Logical chalk ran super in career debut; stretches out and must not bounce either.
Long Shot - Damini
Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $10,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds
Da Bomb - First start off the claim by Bill Spawr; been well bet, need not be much to handle these.
Subpoena the Dress - Big class drop makes her a danger if she has four legs; like Joel Rosario up.
Long Shot - Wada Falls
Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up
Quoted - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; main man Gomez is up.
Halo's Law - Good second in last, fast enough to upset these; note top jocks are riding in maiden claiming races.
Long Shot - Mr. Bossy Pants
Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $38,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up
Jeranimo - Good run last time off a 6-month hiatus; dead late closer will always need pace to chase.
Black Wolf - Speedball will try and steal under Alex Solis; second start off a 13-month sabbatical.
Long Shot - Spirit of Cochise
Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $38,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up
Universal Peace - Interesting that Joel Rosario got off live mounts to ride B's Lucky Strike; uncoupled Drysdale entry.
Sir Ben - Was hindered by a slow pace in last; saves all the ground, will rally hard under Garrett Gomez.
Long Shot - B's Lucky Strike
Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $40,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up
Suit Yourself - Off slow in last and never had a chance; return to 2-turns, and Gomez, will only help his cause.
Pinstripe Kid - Stretch out candidate from fast sprints; key will be if he challenges Dirty dish Mitch.
Long Shot - Unbridled Story
Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds
Moonskipper - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; need not be much.
