TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 7 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Claiming $32,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Inspiration Within - Big rider switch to Rafael Bejarano; outstanding Hollywood mark with 10-of-11 in the money finishes.

Blame the Wine - Big class rise off a dead game victory; has won a very creditable 7-of-13 synthetic surface starts.

Long Shot - Victory Dancer

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $14,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

South of France - With multiple speed horses dueling, she could see a perfect trip; will rally fast under Joel Rosario.

Silent Stalk - One among many speedballs in here; big class drop and gets a nice speed rider in Felipe Valdez.

Long Shot - Bettyboomboom

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $36,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Fair Chase - Flattered when Crisis of Spirit won next out; she appears to be sitting on a big graduation victory.

Lady Adelle - Trainer John Sadler has an uncoupled entry; this is the longer odds price and has Joel Rosario up.

Long Shot - Stoic Angel

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $40,000, Allowance, 2-year-olds

Privilaged - Small edge in a harder than looks race; broke his MSW under Joel Rosario three races back.

Ranger Heartley - It only seems like John Sadler has a pair of starters in every race; like the turn back in distance.

Long Shot - Dream Nettie

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Flyingfinformation - Just missed last time facing these friendly foes; her race two back, if repeated, crushes these.

Stylin Deputy - This pick is for forgiving handicappers; her last was a debacle, but previous tries could upset.

Long Shot - Lisianski

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $42,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Deal Breaker - Claimed by Jeff Mullins, don't expect him to be offered for a price tag any time soon; Bejarano remains loyal.

Spurrier - Useful sort now is eligible for starter allowance $32K conditions; will sit a trip and grind it out late.

Long Shot - I'll Show Them

Race 7 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Grant Marty Adream - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; Rafael Bejarano sticks around for a reason.

Miss Wined Up - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; need not me much to compete.

Long Shot - Frequent Fame

Race 8 - 6 furlongs, Purse $38,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Pinkarella - Speedball has been away since March; exits graded stakes, much easier task in a first level allowance.

Red Tomatoes - Dead late closer could see a positive race shape; Garrett Gomez will sit in arrears and make one run.

Long Shot - Via Veneto

Race 9 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), $300,000 Citation Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Cowboy Cal - He is the ultimate grinder; was overmatched in the BC Mile, but his prior races point him out today.

Ever a Friend - Got a nice prep for this off a 18-month hiatus; appeared not to squeeze the lemon in winning return.

Long Shot - Proudinsky

Race 10 - 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Ridemetothemoon - Like the turn back in distance and off the turf angles; should be grinding late under Rafael Bejarano.

Bye Bye Hollywood - Not the fastest horse, but the kind that competes; tactical speed to sit a trip and grind late.

Long Shot - Little Dodger

Best Bet - Flyingfinformation (race 5)
