HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Desert Song - Like the conditioning that a FTS can get over a mile turf route; ready to move forward off that.

Mauresmo - Logical chalk ran well in debut sprint; she is a 4-YO facing all 3-YOs, that an edge in maturity.

Long Shot - Fleet Royale

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $35,000, Claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Heroi Do Bafra - Miserable run in last while facing much tougher; chance to rebound with Garrett Gomez.

Dixie Meister - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; one of many taking a steep class drop to face this condition.

Long Shot - Pistol Pete Afleet

Race 3 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Ee to Kinzie - Decent debut at Golden Gate for Armando Lage; adds blinkers on, could show more gas.

Delta Magic - Showing slow, steady improvement; second best facing a similar talent last time out.

Long Shot - Ringing Bernie

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $41,000, Claiming $62,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Thelma Rose - Has shown steady improvement since claimed by Bill Spawr; like that Rafael Bejarano remains loyal.

Bagels N Bones - Tepid chalk in another tough heat; drops in class and saves all the ground for Mike Mitchell.

Long Shot - Ashee

Race 5 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $50,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds

Santamonicacanyon - Just missed last time to stakes placed Mark S the Cooler; facing a softer bunch tonight.

Meteore - Sharp MSW win and appears capable of better; his grass races are far superior to his synthetic tries.

Long Shot - Del Conte

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $27,000, Maiden claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

Jayden's Hope - Expect the Jeff Mullins barn to heat up now that he's back; ground saving trip will help.

Top Biker - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; big rider switch to Gomez.

Long Shot - Union Soldier

Race 7 - 5 1/2 furlongs, $70,000 Cinderella, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Southern Fireball - Eye catching MSW win in last for Doug O'Neill; ran like a filly with multiple gears.

Repo - Part of an uncoupled Doug O'Neill entry; would not be shocked if he wins at a much longer price.

Long Shot - Well Deserved

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