May 12th Hollywood Park Recap – 5 out of 6

Posted on by

Wednesday Hollywood Park Recap (5-12-10)

Edge to stalking types on Cushion Track. A wire job (8f route) and a stalker (6f sprint) made up the two turf winners.

Rafael Bejarano booted home five, and Bob Baffert saddled two winners on the day.

As luck would have it, I needed Bejarano in the 7th to give out the Pick 6 on Spread Ticket #3 ($32), and he rallied to miss by a head aboard Red Eye Express. Six of six brought back $2,616. I would have taken that for a $32 investment. The conso came back $48.80.

Sweet Hanni was much the best in the finale. She surged to a 1/2 length win after finding room late in the $50,000 turf sprint for 3yo fillies.

Thursday Hollywood Park Preview (5-13-10)

An 8-race card is on tap at Hollywood Park May 13 and first post for the Thursday program is 1:00 p.m. Pacific. The pick six includes a pair of turf races and the 5th race is my MySpace Play of the Day.

I am busy with my Preakness Day full card and other Triple Crown related work, so I did not have the time to post the May 13 Pick 6 from Hollywood.

Preakness Week Coverage

I will be a guest on Steve Bortstein’s Fox Sports 1340 show on Friday. It will be great to reunite with Steve. We did the old Fast Track together at Racing on the Net and I have been his guest a few times over the years. I will be joining Steve on his show at 10:00 a.m. Eastern on Friday (May 14).

I am selling my Preakness Day full card, and it will be available on May 13 at Today’s Racing Digest (TRD).

I went to Pimlico Race Course on May 13 for Sunrise At Old Hilltop. I toured the backstretch and Stakes barn and will include plenty of photos in my next Preakness Stakes blog. I am also going to Pimlico for Black-Eyed Susan Day on Friday.

My Black-Eyed Susan Day Stakes Plays of the Day are now posted on Horse Racing Nation…

Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes

Hilltop Stakes

Skipat Stakes

Jim McKay Turf Sprint Stakes

The Very One Stakes

Hollywood Recap – Nov 28th (5 of 6)

Dona Amelia ($5.80) kicked off the Saturday card with a stalk and pounce score for Berrio/Avila.

Facile tally in the 2nd for heavy fav Stunning Ally ($2.40). Quinonez guided the winner for Julio Canani.

Limestone Edge ($5.40) was the stalking winner of the 3rd for Garcia/Baffert.

Enough of that chalk dust as Brenthurst ($30.20) was the prominent throughout winner of the 4th under Pedroza. Janet Armstrong was the winning conditioner.

Pick 6 time, and out already after Alfarabi and Bridgetown failed to fire their best shots. Who’s Up ($21.80) stalked and pounced his way to victory in the Grade 3 Generous. Victor Espinoza rode the winner for Kathy Walsh.

Top pick Youthful Ambition ($10.20) got both tickets back on track in the 6th. Santiago Reyes booted home the winner for Vlad Cerin.

11-horse turf sprint, and I took a stand with 5-1 Dotsy Jean ($12.20)…bingo! Things worked out just fine, and Rosario booted home the winner for Marty Jones.

Ventura ($3.20) exuded class in a good looking win in the Grade 1 Matriarch. Garrett Gomez rode the winner for former Frankel assistant Humberto Ascanio. Tuscan Evening set the pace and held the place over Diamondrella.

Both tickets move forward in the conso chase after Cherryblossommiss ($6.60) got up for Bejarano/Sadler. Would have been nice if Scarlett’s Place could have held on at 12-1. Aromatherapy is worth following. She did not get the lead as expected from outside post. Stalked wide and made a move turning for home before flattening out.

No worries in the finale as my top two did just that. Again, the lower odds contender came out on top. Yodelen Dan ($5.60) wore down Craig’s Storm. Michael Baze scored for Jeff Mullins.

Got 5 of 6 on the Budget Ticket and Big Ticket. Conso came back $119.40.
