TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK
By Richard Eng
Post Time 1 p.m.
Race 1 – 5 1/2 furlongs, $70,000 Willard L. Proctor Memorial, 2-year-olds
2 Majestic City – Impressive debut winner can regress and still win this; rail post helps in this abbreviated sprint.
5 Cast a Doubt – FTS has win-early pedigree and from a live baby barn; watch the tote board for additional clues.
Long Shot – 3 Joyzey Billy
Race 2 – 5 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds
7 D’princess – Peter Miller has an uncoupled entry, so caveat emptor; parking lot post stinks, horse looks good.
4 Mighty Caroline – Favorite is a FTS from Melody Conlon; bred to win early, check out the early tote activity.
Long Shot – 3 Sweet Nothings
Race 3 – 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds
1 Millie N Marie – Speed and the rail can be an effective weapon; like the turn back in distance too.
5 Roulette It Roll – Sliding down the claiming ladder to this new career low; Steve Knapp likes to drop and win.
Long Shot – 2 Judicious
Race 4 – 5 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
3 Bayona – Was clearly overmatched in last against $75k foes; big class drop offers her new life with these.
10 Sweet Consolidator – Has had a zillion chances, but runs fast enough to get into the number; one of these days Alice.
Long Shot – 6 Krasavitsa
Race 5 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up
10 Get My Fix – Running first time for a price tag; suspect there will be a couple dozen claim slips for this one.
12 King Ledley – Odd seeing Garrett Gomez riding in more price tag races; big class drop can clearly help.
Long Shot – 1 Big Bad Boo
Race 6 – 6 furlongs (turf), Purse $38,000, Claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up
1 Dapper Gene – Claimed by Hector Palma who is winning at 37 percent off the claim; turf sprint specialist.
6 Dance With Gable – Tepid chalk in a much harder race than it seems; another who adores turfs and sprints.
Long Shot – 2 Stoneside
Race 7 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
7 Born Lucky – Has lost to quality foes, appears to be the one to fear in here; cozy parking lot post.
4 Bauble Queen – Well bet in both career starts; gets the ultimate rider switch to Rafael Bejarano.
Long Shot – 2 Bobine
Race 8 – 1 mile (turf), Purse $52,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
6 Camille C – Big-time class relief from stakes for this; won’t find an easier spot to win without a price tag.
3 Party With Brando – Had no shot last time in a quick sprint; she is better going long, a wicked 0-for-22 on grass.
Long Shot – 9 Boehle
Race 9 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, 3-year-olds and up
12 Private Bounty – Sliding down the maiden claiming ladder to this new career low; need not be much to handle these.
9 Royal Dream – First-time gelding and ineligible to be claimed too; free shot off the layoff for David Hofmans.
Long Shot – 7 Depth
Best Bet – 2 Majestic City (race 1)
Hollywood Park Saturday – Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 21/7/$33.20; Long Shots, 10/2/$16.60; Best Bet, 1/1/$3.80
