TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

All Set - Just missed for a bigger price tag, albeit for NW2L; cannot find an easier spot to win a race.

Chilliwack - Been away 9-months; need not be much to drop down to the bottom and compete with these.

Long Shot - Oakhill Girl

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Saint Chocolate - Third start off a 9-month hiatus; cycle suggests this could be his best effort yet.

Blackbriar - Tepid chalk from a barn that seldom wins with the favorite; has good tactical speed.

Long Shot - Cee's Closing Time

Race 3 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Malusita - Dueled hard last time and gave way grudingly; turns back in distance to a 1-turn elongated sprint.

Village Lady - Garrett Gomez hasn't ridden many at the meet; he's been choosy as well as a frequent flyer.

Long Shot - Lil Legal Linda

Race 4 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Wait 'n Sea - In a race this ugly, the less starts the better; FTS from Doug O'Neill has no blemishes, yet.

Secret Heiress - Horrible looking chalk from Matt Chew; he adds blinkers on so maybe a wakeup call.

Long Shot - Buster's Hurricane

Race 5 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $32,000, Claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds and up

Skippy Due - Nice win last time over much easier; still a value bet is on a long shot in good form.

Pistol Pete Afleet - Sliding down the claiming ladder for Jorge Periban; figures to get claimed soon.

Long Shot - Surf Town

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Global Inspiration - Chalk ran a winning race for this low level in last; plays catch me if you can.

Juicy Lucy - Another with decent early speed; Tyler Baze figures to stalk the favorite and grind late.

Long Shot - Goal Girl Michelle

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $50,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Win Allison Win - Won a NW1X for Cal-breds; she's still eligible for this condition in open company.

Royal Fortune - MSW winner for Neil Drysdale; like that Garrett Gomez remains loyal to the cause.

Long Shot - Dreamalong

Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 2-year-olds

Cat Calloway - Play on the name of music great Cab Calloway; Cab, by the way, was a huge horse racing fan.

Long Shot - Warren's Andrew
