HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $18,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds

Eager Lover - Gallagher charge returns home to Hollywood to race on the strip he trains over; class drop can only help.

Dixie Music Roll - Tepid chalk in a wide open race; ran evenly last time in a condition claimer, facing a similar group.

Long Shot - Dunmore

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Writ - Rallied well, but too late, last time out; either she needs to sit closer to the pace or the Mig to move sooner.

Mahalo Lani - Last race could have been for conditioning, a MSW going long on grass; dead fit for this maiden buster.

Long Shot - Lovely Olivia

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Applaud Dubai - Mullins charge returns to the track she ran the best race of her life; last could have been a test drive.

Onefunsonofagun - Speedball has a chance to gun to the front and not look back; not convinced others want to catch her.

Long Shot - Swiss Marci

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Warren's Player - Grinder may be the last one moving in the deep stretch; took a lot of action last time, dart throw race.

Queen of the I.E. - Speedy tactics may last a bit longer today; upset chance in a potential no passing lane finish.

Long Shot - Winky

Race 5 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $50,000, Optional claiming $62,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Rapid Transaction - Been away 6-months, returns on her preferred surface; must recapture the form she showed in France.

La Tormenta - Speedball has been away 8-months, but this Miller barn can really crank them up; she is the one to catch.

Long Shot - Swiss Diva

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $24,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Your Quote - Claimed by Hess off a winning effort for Mullins; she is well spotted, despite a class rise, to win again.

Sneaky Jack - Speedball has definitely one way of going; simple tactics for her to go as far and as fast as she can.

Long Shot - Early Anna

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $54,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Rivoltella - Returns to Hollywood Cushion track where she did some nice running; gets class relief from Northwest stakes.

Angel Craft - Second best last time and figures to be way overbet again; tactical speed to sit a perfect trip for Espinoza.

Long Shot - Gothic Beauty

Race 8 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $42,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Pride of Pegasus - Like the turn back in distance and the improved speed she's been showing; chance at a square price.

Minimite - Tepid chalk must overcome a parking lot post and the turf rail out 15 feet; won't offer much value tonight.

Long Shot - Peppermint Lounge

Best Bet - Your Quote (race 6)
