HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time noon

Race 1 - 1 1/16 miles, Purse $70,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Hurry Up Austin - Making his third start off a 4-month sabbatical; note his stretch out tries have been in graded stakes.

Top Emblem - Ran out of gas late trying to go 9-furlongs; Ron Sticka takes the blinkers off, could provide a minor upset.

Long Shot - Saint Spot

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $26,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Self Insured - Been away 2-months, but like the turn back in distance from route to sprint; figures to be flying fast late.

Stomp Dance - Won a key maiden claiming race two back to signal his quality; ran fast enough last time for a minor upset.

Long Shot - Waive Liability

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, $100,000 Hollywood Juvenile Championship, 2-year-olds

Fassnacht - Dead late closer should be flattered by the race shape; expect dueling speedballs with closers coming over the top.

Nochangenweather - Maiden facing winners, but note Eric Guillot brings the colt back in 7-days; automatic toss for most players.

Long Shot - Jack Flash

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $75,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds and up

Tycoon Doby - Ran like a horse who needed his last race, his first off an 11-month hiatus; tactical speed to sit a nice trip.

Mind the Minister - Logical favorite from the Jeff Mullins barn; second start off a 2-month hiatus, should be much sharper.

Long Shot - Tent

Race 5 - 1 1/8th miles, $300,000 Vanity Handicap, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Zenyatta - She could be the best horse running on Breeders' Cup day at Santa Anita; imagine if she ran in the Classic instead.

Silver Z - She is a sprinter stretching out in a race with no pace; crazier things have happened than stealing the verdict.

Long Shot - Sealy Hill

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $62,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Ribald - Start of a nearly $1.2 million pick 6 carryover; rough trip in last, can rebound at a square price for Tyler Baze.

Hannahs Classy Boy - FTS from the clever Brian Koriner barn; after a rough SA meet, the barn has bounced back in Inglewood.

Long Shot - One Chin Again

Race 7 - 1 mile (turf), $750,000 Cash Call Mile Invitational, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Ventura - Her only poor U.S. race was a dull try at Churchill; Garrett Gomez made the winning difference in the Just A Game.

Lady of Venice - There is not much to separate her from Ventura; Alan Garcia is Kiaran McLaughlin go to rider in New York.

Long Shot - Passified

Race 8 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $66,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Barbara's Love - She looked like a completely different filly in first race off the claim by Ted West; repeat race wins it.

Chosen Royalty - Had a very rough trip last time that definitely cost her the victory; she offers a lot of value at 5/1 odds.

Long Shot - Magical Victory

Race 9 - 1 1/4 miles (turf), $750,000 American Oaks, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Pure Clan - Talk about a wide open race; classy filly is much better on grass, who knows where her ceiling will end up being.

Carribean Sunset - Exiting two group 1 stakes in Europe is enough to convince me of her class; she is dropping a few pounds.

Long Shot - Satan's Circus

Race 10 - 7 furlongs, $300,000 Triple Bend Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Street Boss - Bruce Headley shows us again that patience is a virtue; he gave this colt time to develop into grade 1 caliber.

Elite Squadron - Interesting Midwest shipper is proven to be hard as nails; he faced some of these in the Commonwealth

Long Shot - Desert Code

Race 11 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $65,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Alley Theater - John Glenney filly ran well in her SoCal debut; will get a similar trip and save all the ground under Solis.

Surprises Welcomed - She cost a pretty penny, but hasn't graduated; beaten chalk may never earn back her $3-million price tag.

Long Shot - Wicked Delight

Best Bet - Zenyatta (race 5)

Hollywood Friday- Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 18/2/$18.60; Long Shots, 9/1/$6.00; Best Bet, 1/0/$0
