TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Claiming $10,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Asian Eyes - Just got up in last, now is dropped in class by Peter Eurton; be along in time under Bejarano.

Foxy Games - Even effort in last facing cheaper; adds blinkers on and has the back class to compete with these.

Long Shot - Likely a Star

Race 2 - 7 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

D C Tapit - You have an edge over me as you can see the tote board; could run big for Mike Mitchell.

Speight the Halo - Logical chalk ran well in last off a 8-month hiatus; faced much tougher at Del Mar.

Long Shot - Megaholtz

Race 3 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $37,000, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

Cayambe - Rafael Bejarano had choices and lands here for Ben Cecil; has run good races for a price tag.

Kilderry - Joel Rosario subs for Bejarano; good second in last off a 8-month hiatus, hope he doesn't bounce.

Long Shot - Moth Ball

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Sweetpea - Ran well in last, first time for a price tag; tough to handle with even modest improvement.

Sindyfromsantacruz - Big class drop helped her a lot in last; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip.

Long Shot - Guided Wave

Race 5 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $17,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Yodelen Dan - Jeff Mullins does this a lot; red flag drop, can win by a country mile or not make the trip.

Distinctive Afleet - Speedy sort figures to be forwardly place throughout; won going 2-turns 3-races ago.

Long Shot - Camisado

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Deep Pockets - Sharp run off the claim by Kristin Mulhall; won't be long earning all of her money back.

His Boy Elroy - Blinkers on proved the trick to break his maiden; won't be shocked with another strong run.

Long Shot - Turkish Victory

Race 7 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $55,000, Allowance, 4-year-olds and up

Victory Pete - Speedy sort may be able to establish soft early fractions; like the turf rail out 15 feet.

Lockford - Ground saving trip could be useful in this wide open spot; Joel Rosario likes it without Gomez around.

Long Shot - Wild Diplomat

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, $150,000 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Rail Trip - Deceiving nose win in last when eased up; first real graded stakes, man or mouse time.

Dakota Phone - Dead late closer must hope for a speed duel to do his best; he's as tough as they come.

Long Shot - Aggie Engineer

Race 9 - Purse $48,000 (turf, rail at 15 feet), Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Hidden Trail - Woke up nicely in turf debut; I can see Empire Maker becoming one of the key stallions.

Kumiva - Tom Bell babies typically improve with racing experience; takes the blinkers off today.

Long Shot - Caspian
