TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $8,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

6 Titian – This is the softest group he’s faced in some time; his last win came in February for a $25K price tag.

2 Red Dwarf – Looks a bit cheap, but he has a terrific record over synthetics; he’s in form while others look a bit ratty.

Long Shot – 5 Miles Heir

Race 2 – 5 furlongs, Purse $29,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

3 Ruler of the Tribe – Peter Miller wins more races at Hollywood than anywhere else; he’s stabled in Inglewood year round.

6 Kevin’s Kool Kat – FTS has hot connections of Doug O’Neill and Rafael Bejarano; ask O’Neill the last time he talked with Joe Drape.

Long Shot – 1 Ciao Valentina

Race 3 – 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $25,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 The Unusual One – Reunited with Barry Abrams so maybe he’ll wake up; wide open scrum to start the pick 6.

2 K Js Maddog – Jeff Mullins cooled off after a hot start to the meet; this one lost all chance at the start in last.

Long Shot – 6 Sidepocket Kid

Race 4 – 6 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, 3-year-olds and up

5 Et Tu Walker – Claimed by Doug O’Neill off a good try for John Sadler; ran much better when dropped in for a price tag.

3 Bold Agressor – Rafael Bejarano should rule the roost at Del Mar sans Joel Rosario; notice he’s winning at 30 percent now.

Long Shot – 1 Three Buttons Down

Race 5 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $52,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

3 Antidote – Tidy chalk in a race that’s a lot tougher than it looks; has chased some good ones of late including Slim Shadey.

4 Arraignment – Ron Ellis dropped him in for $25K in last and squeezed out a victory; back to allowance company, this is a lot tougher.

Long Shot – 7 Hasty Trend

Race 6 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

6 Money Talker – Garrett Gomez got used to this guy last time; expect an even better effort tonight closing like a banshee.

4 Stars and Moons – Ron Ellis has been busy the last few weeks of the Hollywood meet; this one he is adding blinkers on.

Long Shot – 3 Fable Haven

Race 7 – 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $52,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

1 Tasty Treat – Had to pick this filly; my best friend in high school, his folks owned a Tasty Treat and we’d eat free on his work shifts.

3 Ms. G. I Jane – If she beats Tasty Treat I’ll get an upset stomach; another difficult race in the midst of the pick 6.

Long Shot – 7 Church Avenue

Race 8 – 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds
