Horse Racing, Hollywood Park, June 10

Today at Hollywood Park

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $21,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

3 A Natural – Was overmatched last time out; her race two back is fast enough to beat these.

4 Sheskey – Third start off a 3-month hiatus; exits two Turf Paradise allowance races for the $14K claimer.

Long Shot – 2 Game Changer

Race 2 – 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $40,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

1 Risky Art – Second start off a brief 2-month freshening; saves ground and comes grinding in the lane.

3 Lasso From El Paso – Taking a huge class drop from $75K to $40K; tactical speed to be forwardly placed if asked.

Long Shot – 4 DíPrincess

Race 3 – 6½ furlongs, Purse $37,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

3 Grumpy Small Mouth – Third start off a 9-month hiatus; really moved forwardly last time with a much improved effort.

2 Meadow Road – Has cashed four straight paychecks since claimed by Dan Hendricks; lost last to a sharp Ranchero from Bob Baffert barn.

Long Shot – 5 Warrenís Rail Bird

Race 4 – 6 furlongs, Purse $54,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Sizzling Gold – Key for me is 2-for-2 wins over Inglewood sod; claiming the claiming ladder to move into allowance condition.

4 Sean S – Tepid chalk has been away 4-months; was on a three race win skein, timeout when the going was good.

Long Shot – 6 Candy and Thunder

Race 5 – 6½ furlongs, Purse $30,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

9 Royal Meridian – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; has a decided edge over these.

4 Hammer the Bay – Doug OíNeill returns after chasing the dream of a Triple Crown; donít you think a healthy Iíll Have Another could have won the Belmont?

Long Shot – 8 Visionary Man

Race 6 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $54,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 So She Dances – Stretches out after a pair of good grass sprints; by Tiznow, so going 2-turns should not be a problem.

6 Romantic Wish – Set a tepid pace in last and just failed to hold on; like the cut back in distance, a disappointed Mario Gutierrez up.

Long Shot – 4 Your Special Day

Race 7 – 6 furlongs, Purse $52,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

2 Muse of Fire – Typical green debut at Del Mar, slow early, fast late; bullet works and Rafael Bejarano riding for Bob Baffert.

5 Winding Way – FTS from Carla Gaines has been working well for debut; like the key vote of Joel Rosario up.

Long Shot – 6 Los Ojitos

Race 8 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), $70,000 Redondo Beach, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

6 Star Billing – She is the most talented filly in the field; key is she has been away 7-months so how fit is she for this prep.

4 Briecat – Speedball will enjoy the turf rail out 10 feet; simple tactics of leaving and trying to control the pace.

Long Shot – 5 A Jealous Woman

Race 9 – 5 furlongs, Purse $52,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 2-year-olds

8 Salty Evergreen – Was well bet in debut when third in a decent effort; Jerry Hollendorfer babies improve with experience.

9 Winninrulz – FTS from Mike Machowsky gets the quality services of Joel Rosario; watch the tote board for additional clues.

Long Shot – 3 Playful Council

Best Bet – 9 Royal Meridian (race 5)
