HORSE RACING

TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $44,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Any Kind of Storm – Nakatani exited others to ride the favorite for Paco; tactical speed to sit a decent trip throughout.

Royal Vision – Big rider switch to Gomez for the money shot; Gomez will take the horse back, relax, and make one big brush.

Long Shot – Gandolf

Race 2 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds

Justinplace – Was eased in last so the final margin means little; P Val figures to ride each race like it’s the Derby.

Level Red – Tough loss in last as a beaten favorite; he has good tactical speed to put himself into the race early.

Long Shot – Daytona

Race 3 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Regal Redemption – Remember that the Mig and Gomez have the same agent, Ron Anderson; filly looks ready for her photo.

Sylvana – Got too close to a searing early pace last time; suspect Garcia will ride with more patience, save some horse.

Long Shot – Feel Free to Flee

Race 4 – 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $44,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Berkeley Castle – Frankel adding blinkers on, a positive move for the barn; be wary of the Frankel uncoupled entry too.

El Gitano – The other Frankel is a FTS and gets top rider Bejarano; my aim is to beat The Green Monkey at an odds on price.

Long Shot – Rather Be Lucky

Race 5 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $34,000, Claiming $50,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Lady in Love – Like the turn back in distance from a 2-turn grass route to this; the switch from turf to Cushion is doable.

Run Right Thru – You have to love the way Tyler Baze is riding right now; he won the Oak Tree meet, and he keeps on winning.

Long Shot – Lucky Rylie

Race 6 – 7 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 2-year-olds

Tommys Luck – Was hot on the tote board in his debut 6-months back; Conlon adds blinkers on and Bejarano, a lot to like.

Unbroken Vow – Logical chalk must overcome a parking post, not so bad at this elongated sprint distance; stalks and pounces.

Long Shot – Mixed Berries

Race 7 – 7 furlongs, Purse $45,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Highway Patrol – This is a potential stakes horse and he comes to SoCal for good reason; Gomez gets all the choice mounts.

Solemn Promise – Not many horses do so as much in a short period, except Curlin; main fear is a prep race on our dollar.

Long Shot – Hurry Up Austin

Race 8 – 7 furlongs, Purse $25,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 2-year-olds

Ford Island – DeLima got away with one winning for $40k and no claims; suspect he won’t see a price tag anytime soon.

Bayngen Bartok – Logical chalk could cap a nice day for Gomez; he’ll ride so many live horses, he should win 25 percent.

Long Shot – Black Mallou

Best Bet – Regal Redemption (race 3)

Hollywood Sunday- Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 19/4/$22.40; Long Shots, 10/0/$0; Best Bet, 1/1/$3.80
