HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1:20 p.m.

Race 1 - 7 furlongs, Purse $27,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Applaud Dubai - In elongated sprints, I like two things, turn back plays and outside posts; Mullins give Almeida a bone.

In Daddy's Honor - Tepid chalk mainly due to the hot trainer, Mike Mitchell; she won her one try at this 7-furlong distance.

Long Shot - Spanish Heat

Race 2 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $51,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Christiana's Heat - Forgiving handicappers will give her one more chance as a beaten chalk; big rider switch to Michael Baze.

Rosangela - Bobby Frankel filly was impressive in winning her career debut; big step up to face winners, could be any kind.

Long Shot - Lochinvar's Gold

Race 3 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $37,000, Claiming $50,000, 4-year-olds and up

I'm All Out - Gets class relief exiting a difficult allowance group; second start since claimed by O'Neill, expect improvement.

Cointreau - Hate the rail post leaving the chute, but on paper he has a big shot; never hurts to have Rafael Bejarano up.

Long Shot - Fight On

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Concerto's Thunder - Leap of faith that the switch to SoCal will enhance him; O'Neill adds blinkers on and Bejarano.

Camel Point - Logical chalk off some good efforts in MSW company; his race two back, if repeated, is fast enough to win.

Long Shot - Anatolian Gold

Race 5 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

The Supply Program - Frank Monteleone off the claim is an under the radar good thing; he usually turns to main man Espinoza.

Lutyens - Too him a long time to break his maiden, but sometimes they learn to like the feeling; he is fast enough to upset.

Long Shot - Cut Trail

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Be Glorious - Frankel is done fooling around, he turns to Bejarano for the money shot; filly has clearly underachieved.

Boston Cat - Speedy sort will have to show early gas from a parking lot post; the Mig does have a long run to the first turn.

Long Shot - Courtly Couture

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles, $150,000 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Neko Bay - Square price on a horse that made a monsterous, but premature, move in last; Mike Smith just needs to be patient.

Monzante - Deserving favorite made the final move in the Santana Mile to put away the field; Bejarano picks him over others.

Long Shot - Zappa

Race 8 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $53,000, Allowance, 4-year-olds and up

Frankelstein - That was a powerful win last time, may be in the best form of his career; does not need the lead to succeed.

Only Him - Tepid chalk is a come from behind horse who will need to see some pace to chase; exits a strong allowance test.

Long Shot - Steven's Being

Race 9 - 6 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

All Money No Love - Last as a 3/5 chalk in last, you must be a forgiving handicapper; he'll be 8/1 facing an easier group.

Master Cat - Logical favorite ran great in return off a 14-month hiatus; if he doesn't bounce, he will be awful tough.

Long Shot - Handsome Thomas

Best Bet - Neko Bay (race 7)

Hollywood Thursday- Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 16/5/$27.00; Long Shots, 8/0/$0; Best Bet, 1/1/$3.00
