HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1:20 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $51,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Bad Boy - Like the turn back in distance to this turf sprint; gets big class relief after testing stakes foes in recent starts.

Beyond Loaded - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; Corey Nakatani can save all the ground, will angle out for room in the lane.

Long Shot - Carmen

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds and up

Wilburs Mr. Ed - Off slow in last, finished fast to the wire; Jerry Hollendorfer drops him in class, should make the difference.

Excess Temptations - Loomed boldly last time, then faltered late; big class drop, his race two back is fast enough to win.

Long Shot - Aggressive

Race 3 - 1 1/8th miles (turf), $250,000 Gamely, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Precious Kitten - She ran like a short horse at Keeneland, will be much tighter today; her best would pulverize these.

Rutherienne - Caught Precious Kitten in her season debut and punished her; figures to find a much tougher foe today.

Long Shot - Diamond Diva

Race 4 - 1 1/8th miles, Purse $57,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

Mostacolli Mort - Could not make headway late into a pedestrian paced marathon; beaten chalk should see an honest pace in here.

Lonely Highway - This is the early pacesetter; Clinton Potts goal will be to put a sleeper hold on the field.

Long Shot - A Gallant Discover

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Black Wolf - Notice that Alex Solis is back riding for Bruce Headley; Solis will be riding like its the Kentucky Derby today.

Concerto's Thunder - Good run when second best last time off a 6-month hiatus; Doug O'Neill barn is really kicking into gear.

Long Shot - Hiatus

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $25,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Tribal Justice - In a race this difficult, you could do worse than jump on Bejarano; tactical speed to sit a decent trip.

Seven Point One - Tepid chalk in a dart throw of a race; he's showing steady improvement since joining the Cerin barn.

Long Shot - Roadside Rest

Race 7 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Cavanal - If things fall right for Bejarano, he could have a monster day; dead late closer is the best finisher in here.

Catastaire - Unlucky to just miss in his last two starts; this figures to be another cavalry charge to the finish line.

Long Shot - Cambridge

Race 8 - 1 1/8th miles, Purse $53,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Chestnut Touch - Bejarano had his choice of mounts and lands here; Mike Mitchell barn heating up after a slow start.

Tangled Tango - Tepid chalk in a wide open heat; chased Madeo in last who should have won the Alydar except for a dumb ride.

Long Shot - Steven's Being

Race 9 - 1 mile (turf), $250,000 Shoemaker Mile, 3-year-olds and up

Ever A Friend - Another Mike Mitchell success story off the claim; he's capable of sitting a trip or grabbing the early lead.

Daytona - Resumed his consistent winning last time in the Arcadia; has only one way of going so Alex Solis must send.

Long Shot - Hyperbaric

Race 10 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Victorio - Big class drop and Bejarano could spell the difference; if Bejarano is winless still, there will be a carryover.

Orientation Hall - Just missed last time in a wide rally from a parking lot post; the post is the same for Nakatani.

Long Shot - Turkish Victory

Best Bet - Wilburs Mr. Ed (race 2)
